    Budget Pico/Nano tank, possible?

    in Members Tank & Specs

    Posted

    My tank as of today, is cycling for 2 weeks already.. lots of pods sticking on the glass walls.

    im seeing some green and brown algae surfacing on the sand as well as the rocks.. i know brown algae are normal but is green algae normal too? this few days i reduced my light period to only 2 hours per day..

    Anyway, Today took readings of my tank all using API test kit after doing 10% WC :

    Ammonia : 0ppm

    Nitrite : 0ppm

    Nitrate : 30ppm~

    pH : 8.2

    phosphate : 0.25

    both ammonia and nitrite is 0ppm.. does this means my tank is cycled?

    i wont be adding any livestock for at least another week though.. maybe another 2 weeks if i can tahan..

    Main reason anemone die is poor water conditions. However, anemones are known to move around on their own if they dont like the location you put them in. Sometimes, they wander up your glass and into your wavemaker, where they get chopped up. Realistically speaking, many more anemones survive than get chopped up. Horror stories like this tend to get exaggerated

    Tempted to get a rbta too but scared die and i read that once they die, your whole tank will crash...

    looks like it's the Starpet satellite breeder box.

    Anyway if my tank does not have a wavemaker, does it means theres a high chance of survival for the rbta? main reason anemone die mainly is due to the wavemaker right?

    Some updates.. changed the carbon and resin in my crystal pro and im finally getting 0 TDS!

    anyway, installed my IQ skimmer(changed the wood to sanders 2) yesterday in my HOB and surprisingly, it fits perfectly. after running for a day, its starting to skim some light yellowish color.. will stop skimming tomorrow and let the tank cycle.

    filtration, had to leave the lid off.. the white filter bag contains some rowaphos.. will be adding purigen when tank finish cycling.
