Me thinks that you can go below 6 but you have to drop in increments 0.2 over a long period of time to keep your bacteria working.
So for an easy life keep it above 6

I would still remove the coral though.

I would still remove the coral though.

Maybe in a few months once the filter is established.

 

[Xraymark]

Need some stocking advice.

How many cory habrosus can I fit in my tank with current stocking (check Sig). This will be my tank fully stocked.

 

[Xraymark]

Bought eight.
Their soo small.

 

[Xraymark]

So a wee update

Rearranged the wood a bit. I had issues with the water being cloudy and couldn't use purigen as this would remove my tannins. It eventually cleared.

I added frogbit as I like the length of the roots and I felt the tank needed some green on the bottom. So added watersprite. Photos from phone

Clearwater look

So on that note i'm going to "do a Minnnt" and brake down this tank.

I'm turning this into a nano reef. Let the madness begin

 

[minnnt]

Shame its going, its looking great!

 

[Xraymark]

Yeah. A bit sad breaking it down.

It was either the lido or the rio. Might make the rio into a south American tank.

It needs a major rescape.
