First Pictures of my 30g Nano

[jimrawr]

Tank is 3 weeks old. Cycle lasted only about 10 days and slowly started adding everything. Let me know what you think and how to improve Right now I just want to get some more colors, want to get a few purple mushrooms and some colorful ricordeas.

Pretty brave to start with some of those coral this early. I hope they work out for you.

 

[jimrawr]

Yeah I know but I got everything pretty cheap and I think my lighting/flow will be enough. I guess time will tell. I did rush a little bit, but no turning back now

Looks like on one of your pics there is some cynobacteria in your sand. Otherwise it looks sweet.

 

[jamynsdad]

how do you like the Remora?

 

[jimrawr]

Ive cleared up the cynobacteria yesterday with my water change

Remora.... I have mixed feelings. I have had it for 3 weeks now and it continues to pour pleanty of bubbles into my tank. So I bought the surface skimmer / bubble trap, and still the same results.

They are sending me a new unit free though, so maybe it will work better than this one

 

[Rosseau]

Very nice. I love those tall cubes, it will look great I think if you eventually have rock all the way to the top.

 

[jimrawr]

Yeah I do need to add a little bit more rock, but I am worried about going through another cycle

Awesome!
I'll be following your thread!
I've got the same tank...I got four of them at the Petco sale last year, just too good of a deal ($1/g) to pass up:


My thread linked the 'red house' icon if interested (in-wall corner 30/33g oceanic setup in process).

Good luck!

 

[jimrawr]

Thats looking great!! Cant wait to see when your are all finished setting up that in wall tank

 

[nsreefer]

Very nice start! Best of luck. :smokin:

 

[jimrawr]

Thanks guys

 

[kase]

look great. one word of advice move the stars(gsp) off your rock before it take over.

are you using anything else to filter your tank beside the skimmer?

 

[jimrawr]

no just the skimmer and 40lbs of live rock

Looks good, but I agree that it was a bit rushed. How do you know you were fully through the cycle? 10 days is awful quick! If so, awesome, and best of luck! I LOVE that purple plate. I'm thinking I need to redo mine so I can fit one. I love 'em!
