30 Gallon Nano Journal...

[Mr.September15]

Well after a week of waiting, well actually 3 days. I finally added R/O water and some sand substrate 8) . This is the first time I do this Journal thing so heres the pictures. I havent added any Live Rock since the pet store said they will have really nice ones this coming Wednesday.



More Pictures When Live Rock Arrives!

Question:
When I added the salt bubbles started forming around items such as the powerhead, filter, and heater. Is that normal??

Yeah I cant wait . lol, I keep playing around with the bubbling thing on the powerhead. Turning the bubbles on and off. . So fun.

lol, remember, once there's livestock in the tank (especially corals) dont turn the bubbler on. too many microbubbles can cause embolisms on some organisms and kill them

 

[Mr.September15]

awww Does livestock include the L.R??

[SkiFletch]

well, you could damage some of the life so I wouldnt

 

[Mr.September15]

Awww but its worth letting the bubbles go. I still cant wait till the live rock comes...I wnna check if the LFS beside my school has any Live Rock. Hopefully they do and I can start puttin some in today

 

[Mr.September15]

After my recent tank crack incident Ive upgraded my nano to a 30gallon tank...Which Im not sure counts as nano but whatever. All my L.R and Fish have been moved into a big tub where I have placed the heater,powerhead,and filter. After I have filled up,aquascaped,and stabalized my new tank It will be ready for my fish. Im hoping to get some more Bio-Spira to help with the process because I want to take them out of the tub ASAP but of couse having some patience with the whole process. Heres a photo of the new tank...Please excuse the condensation in my tank. I just filled up some just to see if the water level is even...

I also wanted to add...From the picture does the water lvl look even? Or shud I make adjustments. I cant seem to find that long metal thing with the bubbles to see if the tank is even.

Just use a tape measure. But from myh eye it looks shockingly un-balanced! How did your tank crack?

 

[Mr.September15]

Tape Measure? How will that work? Check this topic to find out how

Glad it all worked out, will be nice to have such a big tank too

Are you gonna have corals??? You got T5s?

[Mr.September15]

LOL You lost me at corals ...I didnt really think of the lighting yet. I just need to make sure it gets stable etc. I still need to buy some more L.R which is going to cost me loads. Plus I dont even have the money at the moment. Which sucks balls. Hopefully I can save my lunch money or somethin...
