Flow question

[CiroFuentes22]

how do you know if you need more flow in your nano.

 

[chrisaggie]

Flow needs are based on the animals being kept. What are you keeping and what kind of flow do you have?

 

[CiroFuentes22]

my 15l has a fals perc and a damsil and the only flow i have is from my marineland 1000 filter and a little bubler on the other sde of the tank.
12g nanocube is just wit the standerd pump (i dont know wut it is tho)

 

[chrisaggie]

what corals and inverts do you have?

 

[Abengochea]

I dont think a bubler is a good idea to keep in the reef. If u get an air bubble stuck under the live rock, the bacteria stuck over the bubble will die off. Bubblers are mainly for emergency use only in a reef. Ciro, the flow will depends more on the coral u want to keep. Softies require little flow and sps need alot. So u need to figure out what u want to keep and then ull know how much flow u need

Most people from what I have read throw a MJ900 in it and are satified.

yeah what kind or corals and inverts do you have in there? is the rockwork obstructing your flow? maybe a FTS would help...
The bubbler isnt all that bad just use a suction cup to keep it out of the rocks i use one to help keep my dissolved oxygen and ph up.

"Most people from what I have read throw a MJ900 in it and are satified."

I agree... can't go wrong with the MJ's

 

[CiroFuentes22]

this is a fts of my newly rescaped 15L and all i want is maybe some more xenia and zoos and some more rock.

Have the tang police seen your tank yet?

 

[CiroFuentes22]

yes but the thing is that he is less than an inch and i promiss you that.

 

[Voltekker]

he looks small.

 

[Ryanqk]

yeah it must be small if thats 15gl, i think at a inch long he's ok just get him into a bigger tank as he grows.

 

[Voltekker]

Yea where did u get him so small ciro ? my sister would flip for a tiny tang.

 

[CiroFuentes22]

im trying to get my house fumigated before i started seting up the 55g that i got in the back. i dont feel like seting it up and then in a month or so moving it to my cuzins house witch is not that far (2 houses down LOL) but it is just a big pain in the azz and i already have a headach so i dont need it. but i promis he will go in the 55 when i get it up and running wit no problem.

plus he has been in the tank for 5 months now and has hardly grown and all he does all day is chase the damsil around the tank and then the clown jumps in and they double teamd him. its fun to watch. all they do is scare him but not bite him or anything.

 

[Voltekker]

Yes but where did u buy it.

 

[CiroFuentes22]

buy wut

 

[Voltekker]

The fish, what store had them that small. Ive seen some tiny yellow tangs but never tiny blue ones.

 

[CiroFuentes22]

i got it at aquarium depot in town and counrty. good place.

Barrier Reef has a ton of tiny Blue Hippos, I see them there nearly every time we go. $28 if I remember right.

We had two, one lasted a week. One lasted a couple months until a parasite got him. All other fish are fine. No more blue hippos for me. lol

I personally don't care about the tang, I just remember them flipping out on me last year. I am also told all the tim that my 1.5" coral beauty is way confined for my 29g. I never heard him complain once.
