check out this kids nano

[haaga]

Mchava: yes I can, here is a drawing of wireing the ballast, sorry about the quality of it. Wireing

spykes: no zeovit in our nano, just carbon, phosphate remover and denitrate as you said. Well we do add Korallen-zucht's Amino acid concentrate, so the manufactor of it is very zeovit indeed

This tank is really a great one. Very nice work!

You put the technology of SPS keeping to another level since most people do not believe SPS can be kept with sandbed, with no skimmer, and with stuffs like phosphate remover.

I have three questions:
(1) How oftern do you (plan to) change bulb?
(2) Do you harvest macro algae. If so, how often?
(3) People say that it is very difficult to keep SPS with light purple/blue/green color. Do you encounter difficulties in keeping some specific SPS in this tank?

ahchung: I will change them in december, after 1 year of usage. I do take some macroalgae out of the tank maybe once in a month. All corals in our nano are doing quite fine, one acro seems to look quite different in my bigger tank. It is the blue one in the left before pocilloporas Photo It is very thin in our nano, others seem to look very much the same. I think the happiest sps corals in our nano are pink pocillopora, two different seriatoporas and a pink stylophora and a white acro with blue polyps in the middle.

Haaga,

Awesome Nano, I'm sure your son enjoys it very much!

How about an update, have you had lots of growth and color? Still using the same filtration method?

How often do you replace the filter media? (carbon, phos remover, denitrate)

Thanks,

 

[glassbox-design]

amazing..
great aquascaping and coral placement too!

wow

those lights actually look like NO helios t-5s, i have them but the 35"

 

[CamBarr]

not Helios hes in Finland that are standard output!!!! "Four 18w normal output fluorescent tubes are used. Two of the tubes are blue (Arcadia Marine Blue and Osram 67) and two are daylight (Arcadia Marine White and Hagen PowerGlo) tubes. They are driven by a single 2 x 54 w electric ballast. This gives you adequate light intensity to grow even colourful sps corals. I wouldn't use metal halide lights in mini or nano reefs. With fluorescent tubes you get much even and softer illumination of the tank and less heat problems. Beside the tubes there is a fan directed to water surface to provide adequate gas exchange in the tank and to keep the temperature at about 24-28 centigrades."

Always shocking to see your results with the lights you use!

VERY VERY NICE!!!
