Hey all,
I just bought a 16g Innovative Nuvo tank from Premium Aquatics. I had several gift certs and with the labor day sale, I couldn't resist. The tank is supposed to ship on Tuesday. This tank is to replace my 12g nanocube that has seen better days. I was going to wait and buy this tank AFTER I bought my Elos Midi, and buy a larger Tampa Bay Saltwater 'package' and split between the two tanks. But I'm itching to do something NOW and I won't have the time to set up the 36g Midi until winter.
So I am planning on purchasing the 15g 'package' from TBS. I do know that I don't want the crabs and they have already told me that it would be no problem to replace the crabs with more snails. And I have asked if they could make sure that no condy nems or the like come with the package as the lights won't support them. I will probably upgrade the lights in the future (a AI Sol Nano maybe) but for now I'll stick with the included lights. I have a feeling that there may be too much rock for the tank (especially when I mvoe over all my corals). Any additional rock will go into my 6g nano. I have a couple pieces of LR in there that I'm not all that happy with (shape) so replacing them would be no hardship :lol:
So do you all think that the 15g package would be good for a 16g tank? Should I order an extra pound of sand to make up for the 1lb difference or will it not matter that much? I hate the substrate in my nanocube so it's all going in the trash...YAY!! I'm up for any suggestions. I have no idea what I want the rock work to look like...something a bit different than what I already have...which is the two islands type of thing. The tank is 24" long and about 12" wide (some of this includes built-in filtration in the back).
