Hi all,
I have broken down all my large tanks and started a nano reef build with the Fluval marine nano tank, I've changed a few things and I was wondering your opinions on how things are going and what I could do to improve bearing in mind this tank was setup on the 04/02/24, I will let you know what I've done and show you my latest test results, First of all, I took the stock light out and added Fluval Sea Marine 25000k 32 watt 3.0 Bluetooth light, Obviously I have the pro settings set due to the depth of tank, In chamber 1 I have a nano Skimmer all tuned perfect, Chamber 2 I removed fluvals stock stuff and added 2 bags of sera siporax bio rings and the usual foam and floss, chamber 3 is just the stock return pump and nozzles, I added a controllable nano skimmer, Used caribsea Aragalive Fiji pink live sand, Some live bacteria and some live rock from my tanks I broke down, I didn't wait long to add fish and some soft corals below you will see the list and test results, let me know what you think? Where tank might be heading and if there's any do's and dont's, Never had much luck with corals in my big tanks as I always wanted predators but now I have a peaceful tank and fish and coral seem really happy Thank you all for taking your time in reading this and any input is welcomed negative and positive,
Regards,
Jamie
