4Gpicoreef

[hendyags]

I have a nanoreef before but then was moved from workdesk to my dormroom. Its condition never been good again after the moving. I got frustrated. So when I saw a 'pico' tank at the LFS I decided to buy it for a picoreef which could be hidden below my workdesk. Its dimension is 35.5(L) X 19.5(W) X 22(D) cm, about 4 gallon.

 

So here is my 4G picoreef on its Day-30 with the following water parameters :

pH: 8.1

Alkalinity : 3 meq/l (x 2.8 = 8.4 dKH)

Nitrite : 0.0

Nitrate : 5 mg/l

Phospate : 3 mg/l

Salinity : 1.024 g/cm3

Calcium : 400 mg/l

Magnesium : 1000 mg/l

Temp : 80-82 F

 

Filtration / water flow :

A HOB filter (filled with crushed coral + Caulerpa)

 

Lighting :

20W NO Fluorescent Philips Actinic 03 (07.00 AM - 06.00 PM)

10W NO Fluorescent Unknown Brand Daylight (10.00 AM - 04.00 PM)

 

Maintenance / Feeding :

Daily, top-off using bottled drinking water

Water change (not yet)

Weekly, using Sera Coraliquid and chopped frozen squid

 

 

Ok all, that's for now.

Thanks for your time.
