6 Gallon Nano cubes

Recommended Posts

I was wondering how many of you guys have the 6g NanoCube?

 

I was thinking about buying the 54 watt Nanocustom tank, and have two question:

 

1. What are people using in the back compartments?

 

2. Is it neccesssary to add another PH, or is the stock PH enough?

Chamber 1 = Carbon, maybe some filter floss (temporarily if I'm moving things around and creating a storm)

 

Chamber 2 = 400 Rio with spinner, a few small pieces of LR

 

Chamber 3 = Stock pump, 50w heater

 

The stock PH is weak; however, I'd be careful about replacing it with something too powerful. It will move your sand bed. What I did is put a 2nd pump (400 Rio) through the top of the 2nd chamber. I drilled a hole through the seperating wall and then attached a spinner on the display side of the tank. I have this pump on a timer to go on for 4 hour increments. This setup has worked extremely well for me.

apex003 - how is the 'all natural' filtration working for you? Any problems? I was thinking about going a similiar way, but also having a sponge (washed/replaced every week) in compartment 1.

i would recommend in first chamber, live rock , with sponge with macro on top.

 

chamber two. live rock with macro on top. , chamber three w/ pump and heather.

 

i tried to go all natural also but i find that without the sponge in initial chamber you get alot of debris that clogs the pump. so you end up having to clean it out often.

 

of course ive installed a fuge light.
