[New Nano Tank Set Up]

i agree.

other altenative is run a multi layer over head filter.

during my old times.... 1st tank , i have a 3 layer of overhead filter. And my future choices of continue reefing till today was the 1st success from my simple tank set up. Fish only..

Hi Guys. Love the camaraderie and that all of you are chipping in! It's like being back in the School Science lab with the exception that we can't really afford to go wrong. Just emptied my first bit of tea colored liquid from the airlift protein skimmer.. Attached are 3 pictures and I need some help on what these things are on the live rock. The first picture is of a feathery creature that retracts when you get close to it. The second picture is of a blackish thing which is soft and awful looking. That's one component of this 2nd picture. The other component is a baby anemone looking thing.

The last picture if of a cluster - reddish with white tips. Looking forward to receiving your replies.

P.S. The tank is a 63 litre and I will be getting a wave maker this week.

The glass thickness looks quite thin to me esp for rimless, the tank will warp overtime and bow out.. Need at least a 8mm for a 2ft rimless...

Anyway if that is out of your concern, other things you would need is a wavemaker, a Tunze 6025 should be just nice, the return from the Canister is just not enough... Chiller is not a must but a plus to have, becos yours is a rimless, it is difficult to fix a fan on, unless you get those clip on or hand on the side types...

Other than that is patience to wait for it to cycle and stock slowly...

Thanks Terryz. Its a Juwel Tank - the Rekord 600. How much would a Tunze 6025 cost? If I get a chiller, which one is suitable and how much will that cost? Will be adding some live rock today. Tank has been running for a week now and the water is clear.

Hi Guys. Need some advice on my new tank set up. Its 61x31x42cm. The lighting is T5 x 4 and the external filter is an Eheim Classic 250 (2213) - 440/L per hour. Will be using a Berlin protein skimmer which hasn't been fitted yet. What else will I need? I was told that a chiller wont be necessary if i keep it simple. Looking forward to your replies. A picture of the tank is attached.
