SRC Member rapalla Posted October 8, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted October 8, 2004 I do agree, no need to put a skimmer for that size of tank, just change the water regularly it will be fine, previously i do keep marine in similar to your tank size, it works, until 1 1/2 years i decide to upgrade to 2ft tank! Keep the reef goin bro... size is not the matter, with commitment, patient and responsiblity it wil works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member KennethK Posted October 19, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted October 19, 2004 Get weipro 2011 can hang behind. Just use a HP to cycle the water into ur skimmer. Water and LR put same day no good cos bacteria have not cultivated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Domino Posted October 20, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted October 20, 2004 I always think a skimmer is better than no skimmer. a skimmer helps remove waste from the water and immediately isolate it from the rest of the system: no more contact between the decomposing waste and the tank. A skimmer is also great at oxygenating the water. You could consider a 2011 or red sea prizm hangon skimmers that wouold be outside. As for stocking, take it slow, no need to rush, read up well about what you buy and the requirements in tank size, feeding, compatibility and lighting... Anemones, need very strong lights for example to do well. Take it slow, get more hobby for your money! But hey, the tank looks good! good luck!!

Spidey Posted November 8, 2004 Author Share Posted November 8, 2004 Didn't realise that this thread has been moved to the nano sub forum. I wonder how long the mods took to do all this.... 2 Nov 04 Found nemo!! And he took to the anemone immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey Posted November 8, 2004 Author Share Posted November 8, 2004 Bought another anemone from Iwarn@ yesterday. Can anyone id it? It is quite small, a bit larger than a 50cent coin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Ancelot Posted November 9, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted November 9, 2004 hey dude i suggest you clean up your sandbed.. do some gravel washing using a gravel washer.. i am seeing a rise in the nutrient level in your tank. and your carbon in eheim may not be working anymore.. time to change for a new one! =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member shoelevy Posted November 9, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted November 9, 2004 orh!...i see yr water quite yellow...build up of DOC better get skimmer and carbon....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey Posted November 9, 2004 Author Share Posted November 9, 2004 Thanks for the tips. The yellowish colour is due to the cool daylight Phillips PL. I believe the nutrient level IS high due to dosing of plankton for the jewel. I don't have a solution for the purple sand yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spidey Posted November 9, 2004 Author Share Posted November 9, 2004 Purple sand? Is tat Cynobac u r having ? It could be.. it is a purple layer on the sand and some parts are stringy (moves in the flow). It lessens if I shorten the lighting period or feed less.
