jythong Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Yes, it scratches easily and I find algae removal difficult, compared to my other tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member JeffL Posted May 24, 2012 SRC Member Share Posted May 24, 2012 my IQ5 is scratched quite badly after constant usage of nanomag. Most of the time I forgot to check for sand in between and there goes my beatiful tank. Now looking at Ocean Free Nano Space as replacement Quote 2 Feet Tank: (Decom Feb 2015)-Lightings : Pharos LED light 90W with wireless controller-Chiller : Arctica 1/10HP with H2Ocean Flow Pump 2000-Wavemaker : Vortech MP10ES -Skimmer : Bubble Magus NAC 3.5-Return Pump : Eheim Compact 3000-Reactor – TLF150 (Mod) with NP Biopellet-Reactor – TLF150 with Rowaphos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
