Which rock should I get?

The first one is what they call base rock because it does not have quite as much coralline algae sponges and Macroalgae and is put down first so it cheaper. The second one is what they call deco rock or ‘cherry’ pieces since they have more coralline sponges and Macroalgae so more money and is placed on top of the base rock As showpieces so to say. Since the tank is only ten gallons and you have to choose between the two go with the deco rock for 29.00 more. Money well spent. They offer two different ‘grades’ for larger builds where you can select more than one option and save some money

I’d never seen this. Very interesting. I wonder if it would help take care of surface scum in my fijicube AIO...

It raises water level and gives a cleaner look

Intank makes a lot of good products for a variety of aquariun companies

Can you clarify what you mean by “cleaner”? Cleaner than what?

It looks a lot nicer on the tank. The water level is raised and looks a lot nicer.

I’ll see if I can get an image...

Thanks! Might not make a big difference on my tank, then, since it’s a 40 breeder with a rim. I’d love to see a pic.

Anyone got some nice acan pics or acan tank?

 

[FangsAndGames]

Could I use the live rock and break it apart and glue pieces together for an aqua scape if I wanted to?

It would be one of the easiest tanks you can set up.

25% water changes weekly,low lighting like 100-150 par,medium water flow,heavy feedings 2-3 times a week and let it grow. You do not need a bunch of equipmemt or anything fancy.

Anything you would recommend or tell me to ditch

 

[Steven Garland]

All you need a is hob filter,carbon,sponge or filter floss,quality salt,quality light,medium flow. Nothing fancy at all for Acan's.

Aquaclear 30 or 50,the stock carbon in the bag for filtration.

AI Prime,Kessil A80 or similair for lighting (depending on tank size.)

Depending on tank size,maybe like. Hydor Pico 180 (MarineDepot and BulkReefSupply sell these for $25)

Qulaity food like LPS Max and Rotifers.

Got all that then. Thanks man I appreciate it.

I’m going to use a NUVO 10 gallon

 

[Steven Garland]

So for that tank,in the media basket,carbon and filter floss with the filter floss on top then carbon on the level below. Maybe some bio media like live rock or porous media.

A VCA RFG,and a Prime 16HD and you are good to go.

 

[FangsAndGames]

VCA RFG?
