    Set up of my JBJ 24G Nano Tank

    in Members Tank & Specs

    bro... not to pour cold water but you should read up before you purchase..

    1. Not easy to keep different species of clowns.. let alone in a small tank.. high chance one will KO

    2. Damsels are quite territorial to every other fish.. to have it in a small tank like yours can be quite a disaster

    3. the butterfly fish is not a butterfly fish but rather a sailfin tang

    4. what anemone is it? what is it's requirements? Anemones nuke the tank when they die.. did you take it out after it died? did you change water?

    5. The coral you have is gonio.. its not the easiest coral to keep..

    1) Is my fitration sufficient, not sure workable or not? I read from the forum, thinking to get a biohome.

    The filtration for 24G is always insufficient.. unless you are able to connect it to a sump.. would suggest you to do weekly or bi weekly water change

    2) Only one pump in my whole system, is this correct?

    most of the time you can only fit one pump..

    3) Is Eheim 600 powerful enough? Or Eheim 1000 better? Because the pump need to pump the water to chiller and then from chiller to the tank again.

    your ehiem is insufficient.. try Rio.. there is one pump with the highest flow rate of pumps that can fit to the last compartment

    4) Going to cycle the tank soon, thinking to use 40% NSW water & 60% mixed salt water, is this alright?

    its your choice.. this is a case of the chicken or egg first.. some would recommend NSW, others would recommend saltmix..

    5) One wavemaker enough? do i need to get another one?

    I'm using 2 wavemakers and IMHo still insufficient..

    6) No skimmer at this moment, people told me small tank not necessary, just change water weekly. Any other suggestion? or i need to get a skimmer?

    As long as you are deligent enough.. skimmerless is fine.. if you intend to get.. get the tunze 9002 which fits into the middle compartment after modification to the collection cup..

    7) Do i need to modify the light, or just keep it original?

    depends on what you wanna keep bro.. fish only? stock lights are more then enough... if corals, i would recc you to change..

    You! Wah. Thought u disappeared Liao.

    Sadly no FTS yet. Cos main tank has 2 frag racks. Can't get a decent shot.

    Planning a minor re-scape in late December to add more rock space.

    Should be able to get rid of the racks then.

    ya lor every day must top up one small bottle of water. Because i add one fan on top my tank to chill down the water temperature.

    I collect sea water from the sea side can?

    this is a big no no.. do not collect water from the seaside and put into your tank.. it's not filtered and would pollute your tank...

    yeah heard alot about deltec skimmers but for the price, don't think i'm able to get it anytime soon. What about Reef Octopus? is it good?

    I read ur pinned up thread on the balloon stick target feeding method. Cool n smart. :welldone:

    wait till you hear from those who SWEAR by Deltec.. i think reef octo is good as well.. =]

    well the balloon stick is just one of the few methods reefers can try to save $$

    so far i know of afew reefers who appreciate it and a couple who doesnt.. hahah..

    its your call dude! =]

    THanks for your advice bro. Dymax skimmer looks big and looks like it's good but never have i heard any reefer saying it's good. Nice to see but useless i guess :thumbdown: haha But is Dymax that bad? Cause don't think anytime soon i can change cause of budget. Can still like use it for the time being without having much bad water perimeter problems?

    Considering Reef Octopus or Bubble Magus in future as these 2 brands have good remarks but yet still affordable. Also thinking of getting the Dymax robot LED marine light which i think can act as moonlight?

    Anyway Thanks again for ur advice. :)

    Sure.. no worries.. i'm surprise that the gurus in the forum have not spoken yet! haha..

    I'm not saying Dymax is bad.. just that i'm sure of some other brans which are definately better.. such as deltec?! as long as the skimmer is able to churn out nice and thick skimmate, even a no brander would be good as well... if you're not to sure about the performance just do a higher % of water change everytime. I would recommend water change AT LEAST every 2 weeks... Pref every week!

    as far as i know, moon light doesnt really do much but its just makes the tank nice to look at.. haha.. as long as the lights are blue and not too strong any light can be moon light.. i would recommend LED though..

    you can go on to ebay and look for moon light.. actually i may have one lying around at home. can sell it to you if you want..

    yeah agree :agreed: . should leave some sand bed space for corals like plate. Will try to do some adjustments.

    Anyway i'm quite budget with equipments so kind of bought as a whole set from a bro here and using what is include in the set.

    lightings i'm using 4 x T5 and a Dymax skimmer. For return pump i'm using Rio 26 and chiller Resun CL450. Only can afford just the basic equipments :(

    what you have is good enough! You have all the basics already!

    i would recommend you to upgrade your skimmer though.. take you time and save till you can afford to go for a better skimmer.. its one of the most important equiptment to have..

    also adding moonlight will be nice to the eyes too! =]

    nice scaping.. i like the top part alot.. but i think the bottom of the scape is too steep to place any corals.. its kinda like the "void deck" theory which i told Wilson about.. you may like to relook into the bottom half scaping?

    just my 2 cents worth as you will not want to rescape again when ur fishes and corals are in.. it'll be hell!!! unless you are like jackywongto.. hahhaa

    since you've used 2 big prawn and one of them has already decomposed, i think you can remove the other one.. =]

    great scaping too! but i would leave more space at the bottom to see more sandbed and also to allow more space for corals which requires to be placed on the sandbed or for lower lightings..

    mind sharing your equiptments?

    Oh, so they really individual animals? Like brothers ah? So what about blasto? Or duncans? If I feed one head, will the other head get a share of the food?

    i may be wrong.. but from what i know each individual head = individual coral.. (the only one i know that doesnt apply is gonio)

    somtimes 1 head may have 2 mouth but it is still considered 1 individual animal (which may slowly split into 2 or more)

    so to ans ur quest... blasto and ducans are the same.. 1 head = 1 individual... you should be feeding both heads..

    hope you understand what i mean and hope this helps!

    Cheers,

    Ray
