12g NanoCube at 1 Year

Extremely nice choice on the acan and nice looking nano overall imo.

Can I ask how you keep the chaeto from outgrowing chamber 2 and slowly inching into the other 2 compartments?
I have some in Chamber 1 - but it's just newly added and will probably be moved soon - depends on how my light fits in there.

You do 100 percent water changes?? Sounds scary

Anthony Calfo does a weekly 100% water change on his nano as well.. As long as the pH, temp and salinity are matched to the tank's water it's not a problem.

Hanauma - No I only do 25% weekly changes, I was just stating that its not going to harm your corals.

kewliz - I havn't had any problems with it growing into the other chambers, I just pull some out every once and a while. I only keep my water level in the back as high as the lower wall so I cant grow over the top.

god i love ur tank but just a suggestion i think a rainfords goby would look sweet in their.... imo

 

[Bobalouy]

Thanks, I would love to add another fish, but I dont want to push it, Ive been thinking about a clown goby. But my female clown is soo agressive. She bites my hand non stop when its in the tank. Draws blood sometime.

Aren't rainfords really hard to keep?

How did you get the vinyl off the back of the tank? I didn't know that was possible! I just got a 12g Nano for christmas. Hope someday it looks as nice as yours!

 

[Bobalouy]

Just a razor blade, it peels right off.

Bobalouy...

I just bought a 24g pod and want to have a small 'fuge like yours. Did you purchase the cassette skimmer or did you DIY?

And how do you keep your water level in the compartments lower than the level in your main tank? Thanks,

craig

rainfordi gobys aren't that difficult as long as they've got a nice sand bed to munch on until you get them eating frozen.

 

[Bobalouy]

The cassette mod is DIY, but you can buy similar products now. I think JBJ has one that will come with the new tanks.

The reason the rear is lower, is that the water has to flow over the cassette . So the tank will always stay as high as the cassette in the display.

Can you post a picture of the "peeled" back and show us how you've got the light set up??
