Hello all. I set up a aqueon 14g frameless for a nano tank in the bedroom. Drilled w/ a 10g diy sump. I use Filter roller,carbon,ceramic media,mb7,uv, & ozone for filtration. Kessil 360x for lighting,1 ai Nero 3 + the random flow generator nozzle for flow. My parameters are:
Alk-7.3
PH-8.0
Po4 - .04
No3-18.7
Cal-380
Mag-1370
I house a pair of tailspot blennies for fish, 4 emerald crabs,2 tuxedo urchins, & 6 snails
This is what I feed to the tank;
sea veggies (purple or green) daily
Phytoplankton daily
LPS & SPS Aminos every other day
me coral & brightwell powder coral food once a week.
I got the bristle worms from the rock I used It came from a 75g mixed reef which didn't seem to have any worms a month after I put the rock in I seen them everywhere and now being in this little tank they're starving.
I love this tank everything is going perfect n I barely have to do anything but at the same time I'm ready to swap the rock and substrate out for new save what coral I can and start over all because of these dang things. I can't own a clam because they will devour it overnight, and they harass my blennies from time to time. The no clam issue is a big one for me my reef tank is not complete without one. I have tried an arrow crab got a really small baby one and he was doing great but I decided to take him out because he was getting to big stomping on corals and trying to eat my fish. That little tank is too small for an arrow crab. I've thought about a wrasse but imo my fish load is at max now they probably wouldn't get along and said wrasse would only eat the tiny ones. I have a bristle worm trap but it only catches small ones and is a pain in the butt to bait every single evening and put in the tank and that would never eradicate all of them anywayz. So I am open to ideas and suggestions. My daughter loves this Lil tank she calls it hers and she's only 2n a half.
