Picked up a Neo Nano today!!!

[HOBrien]

Well I picked up two tanks today a Neo Nano and also a 42x42x24 cube....

The Neo is up and running as I took all the water from my dads 29g biocube and LS as well and all 4 fish. I will post pics here in a bit once I figure out how to get them from my phone to computer.

What lighting to yall recommend as I have only used T5's

 

[TundraGuy]

Is that measurements in inches? If it is your in the wrong section. That would put it in the 170 gallon sizes. That maybe why no responses. Lighting is very selective. Based on what you're trying to keep. People will need more info before giving a suggestion for the lighting. Are you going light hungry coral such as SPS/clams, or a mixed reef with some light hungry stuff some lower lighting reqs, or a low lighting requirement tank like shrooms, or a NPC tank with no light reqs, or a swim with enough light to see the animals but not grow too much stuff on the glass. From this info we can also help with colors to bring out. As you probably know with T5s you can mix your colored tubes to get better growth and color rendering from the corals the same holds true with LEDs, PCs, MHs, VHOs. Put up some more info and I will be more than happy to answer the questions you're purposing.

Can't wait to see some pix. I love cubes. :spin2:

No the Neo Nano is 32gallons and that is what I post for lighting suggestions on it.

I have a thread in the large tank forum for the big tank.

lol I just put up leds. As i soldered myself burn my finger and arms with the damn things i suggest halide or a Led fixture I have seen ones on ebay with 150 and 250 watt halide with t5 actinics for cheap. Buy so geissman t5's and a ushio or radium bulb. Fixture are around 200 spend another 150-200 in bulbs. and that's what i would do. If they only made a 70watt with t5's. HMMMMMMMMM

Those tanks ar sweet. I love halides but there is too much heat for me to control. Went to t5 and brings out great colors in my LPs. I had an ai sol on my LPs/sps tank and for me I didn't like them but my polyps grew crazy fast. I would do a 4bulb or 6bulb ati Powermodule or sun power and pu. Reefbrite led strip n, right now for my coral tank I have a 4bulb ati Powermodule with a 24" blue reefbrite strip.

If I went with LED's would a 60watt fixture do on a this size tank?

Got the light in and set it up. Just not sure if I want it clamped where it is in pics or down on the return waterfall as all componets are waterproof that would touch the water. May just have to wait till i get some coral in there.

Current Livestock which was taken from my dads 29biocube which is where the LS came from and the original water.

Pair of False Percula
1x Yellow watchman goby and shrimp
1xBangaii Cardnal

I was thinking of one of the little pygmy angels that stay around 2"
What else would yall recommend in terms of fish?

 

[HOBrien]

Can I get some recommendations as to what other equipment I may need or want for this tank for it to be a reef?

Also any recommendations on to eliminating micro bubbles on return?

 

[HOBrien]

What blennies are good for this size tank for long term. Mainly for algae control?
