Hi guys little bit about me I have had sever tanks for the past few years and have even documented a few on here. After my last tank cracked, broke and flooded my apartment I got out of the hobby for a bit, but of course that didn't last long and 3 months later here I am.
So I had a fluval spec v given to me for fathers day and should be here in a few days. This is perfect because I wanted a small nano while still in my apartment for at least the next 6 months. I have seen some macro tanks and love the idea so I think that is the direction I am going to go.
I am going to lay out what I want to do and will order everything over the next few days but would like any input or suggestions you guys have. In fact I have a few questions lol
Tank: Fluval spec v
Pump: leaving it stock but there are some good options for replacement. For algae tank would anyone suggest going ahead and upgrading?
Lighting: Coral compulsion PAR 30 bulb. I really like the 20k look but is this ok for macro algae? Will also be ordering their gooseneck clip on lamp fixture for bulb.
Stocking:
Algae: I like the look of dragons breath but anyone have any better ideas? I would like at least 3 different species one red one green any suggestions for a 3rd?
Fish: I have read and seen sever reports of citron gobies thriving in these pico tanks so I believe thats what I will go with. Just one.
Maybe a cleaner shrimp or a pompom crab and a snail? going to keep it very light.
Depending on how it grows out and live rock I pick out I may add some mushrooms or a leather or a patch of zoas but it will be my last thing.
Again any ideas or suggestions are welcome and thanks for looking!
