Hi guys Been messing with my setup over the past week and thought I'd share. The tank is a 70L nano but was beginning to overwhelmed with equipment so I decided a retro-fit sump was the order of the day. I built a glass weir from 4mm float glass which I cut myself. I have a fair bit of...

Good bits of kit but have their issues have a dig around some other forums as there are many journal style threads out there and lots of tips to resolving issues. HTH

CLS?

For what it's worth SW is as simple or complex as you want it. If you decide to go FOWLR aside from your normal FW test's you'll need to keep on salinity/specific gravity and most likely phosphate levels. A nano has 2 downsides the first being how unstable the water parameters can be for example...

Mine was around 6"'s when I bought it but was the smallest in the shop it's probably worth asking if they can order a small one in for you. There is a fragging video here

SW water change. Premix water and salt suffcient for change to the correct specific gravity and temp (same as tank norm being sg1.025 and temp 78f) Chuck in a airstone or powerhead and mix for 24 hours. Remove tank water and add fresh just make sure you add and remove the same amount of water...

No worries :good: It's a great first coral.

Sorry Toadstol was £20 (sorry bout the cyano in the pic still fighting it) Powerheads tend to liquify passing nems. It is best to either find an alternative or take precautions to cover the inlet have a look here good site in general for nems

As Ski said you shouldn't need one but 6 gal is small for a clown not so much in volume but in space for him to swim.

White venegar works wonders if left to soak. Or failing that a weak bleach mix (7 pparts water to 1 part bleach roughly) and just keep rinsing till you can't smell it anymore.

Here you go. Click the image to make them bigger ;)

How about a Toadstool leather. Looks like a nem but doesn't require very high lighting and are fairly peaceful. I'll post a pic of mine in a few minutes for you. As Ski said nem's need MH lighting and you also need to rid your tank of powerheads but still retain flow.

Odd. I assume he is using the same same bucket not lots of different buckets. Most salt companies recommend to mix and heat for 24 hours prior to use does the water clear after this time? Cloudyness sounds like the calc or alk comming out of suspension may just be adding buffer before the...

You will most likelty test 0for po4 as it is being locked away by the cyano. Well worth testing your incomming water could also be a result of low flow. Tried everything with mine and turned out to be related to flow.
