Maximum rocks in a Nano

sil40sx · Aug 24, 2016

Hello everyone! I recently downgraded from 75 to a IM Fusion Lagoon 25, and moved as much rocks and livestock that I can fit in my new tank. I didn't realized it before, I thought it looks fine, but a friend who came and visited asked me if the tiny tank (thin glass) can hold much weight of the rocks... It made me think if i made it unsafe by putting all these rocks in my tank (Sorry, but I have no idea how many pounds are they now).

On a side note, the two big rocks have couple corals encrusted to them, that's why I have to keep them.

Please let me know if its ok to keep these, or i have to replace the live rocks. - I just have to figure out then how to remove the encrusted corals without killing them.

Thanks!

Can you please get a better pic of the tank (which looks awesome by the way) so we can determine how many pounds are in there. I am sure you will be fine though. My guess is you have 30-40 pounds which should be fine

Thank you,. Here's a FTS

Stunning!!!
You should be fine because the rocks take up space for the water and the water probably weighs just as much as the rock so it all works out. Again, your tank is amazing. That bubble coral is beautiful!!

Everything looks great. Don't think you will have any problems with weight.

On a side note. @sil40sx, are you running the AI Prime or Prime HD? Have you noticed any fan issues? I've had issues with my Prime fan, sounds like the its catching on something.
