    Rowaphos

    Depending on whether you believe that aluminium will leech into your water, you can consider using Seachem Phosguard instead for your nano. I used it in a filter bag in my OF 24L (the previous office tank)

    i've been reading alot debate on aluminium based VS iron based phosphate remover and it seems like seachem phosguard will absorb large amount of po4 initially and get exhausted very quickly and iron based like rowaphos is slower but more steady absorption.. overall rowaphos appears to be the obvious choice..

    Budget Pico/Nano tank, possible?

    Anyway i got this idea... i bought a inlet sponge (those that protect freshwater shrimplets from being sucked into the filter inlet) that will remove any debris and large particle stuff, and took out the cartridge in my filter.. So since i'll be getting dymax IQ skimmer to try out (will change to sanders 2 airwood) im thinking of putting it inside my filter.. will this work? meaning the skimmer is sitting in a pool of faster moving water witho nly around 15cm height.. will it be able to skim? if not have to put inside tank already..

    Thanks bro. Was worried that running withoit a filter, the least i need is a skimmer to skim the bad things away.

    Is it ok for a 40cm cube tank with just a pair of clowns do without a mechanical filtration?

    u can choose to have either a skimmer, without a filter. vice versa or better still, both.. if spaces and budget allows i would've gone for both.

    with my very limited knowledge (its my first tank anyway) i believe u can house more than a pair of clowns in ur tank.. i intend to get 3 or 4 fishes.. if i were to go for 4 i'll need to do more WC..

    Wah bro your latest scape quite "phallic" leh, if you get what I mean. Not going to be easy to place corals on the "spike" too. Usually reef scaping I see focuses on having platforms to place corals rather than the freshwater style of having rocks/wood "make a statement".

    The tonga branch very nice but dunno how i should place it leh! probably gonna need to play around with it more.. im thinking of getting epoxy glue to glue frags onto those rocks to secure them.. too used to freshwater scaping liao :D

    Btw I'm not sure if there are still any available, but consider a pair of blackfoot clowns from iwarna as your clown pair. They're from the skunk clown family so are rather hardy and they're really cute. I went to iwarna intending to get snowflake clowns or normal perculas, ended up with 2 pairs of blackfoot clowns instead (1 pair for 3ft, 1 pair for nano). Both pairs are doing well!

    still prefer the usual normal perculas leh.. but anyway don't want to look at livestocks now.. if not buey tahan will want to buy one :D
