Persona Non Grata
Well folks. I have decided to return to the world of reef tanks of the nano persuasion. I have come across a 14 Gallon BioCube that I can't pass up. It apparently has sand and some rock in it with stock lighting. (2x24PC I think)
I have had a 10 gallon nano in the past. Very enjoyable little low tech tank. Had some polyps and many crabs. Pod fest with a pair of false percs in there for only a short time.
Here is my current plan of attack. Please feel free to suggest other avenues or inclusions. I am still new to nano tanks.
BioCube 14:
Lighting: Stock
Pump: Upgrade (MJ900?)
Filtration: Add bit more liverock and sand. 10 pounds in there now as well as a fuge in 2nd chamber with grow light on rear of tank using LOA 6,500K bulb. Cheato added and LR ruble there. Floss in another chamber or where I can add it. (Not sure)
FLow: May add a small PH if necessary. I see nice little round ones these days, not sure what they are. :mixed:
Cooling: I saw a small fan on Nanotuners that would attach nicely with a few extra vents in the hood I think.
Let me know if i'm missing something.
Stocking:
Pair of Ocellaris Clowns.
Yellow Goby or Firefish?
Various hermits and snails.
Frogspawn.
Zoas in blue and green.
Polyps.
LPS of some sort. (Candycane or small brain?)
Watermelon Mushrooms
Red or Purple Mushrooms.
I plan on creating a cave of some sort there. I had a cave goby in my 58. He was the coolest fish. He is still around in another members tank.
Please advise if I am starting off on the wrong foot. I am picking up the tank tomorrow evening. It will be staying in my office.
