12 Gallon Nano

[sjkarrow]

To start off this was my first saltwater tank i have ever owned and it was a slow process but feel its going great! I started this tank May of 09 and now have 2 tanks (12 gal. nano and a 29 gallon)

In the nano cube I have:

12 pounds of LR
10 pounds LS
2 Clowns
1 Firefish
Green Zoo's
Toadstool Leather Coral
Sun Polyps
Torch/Frog/Hammer Corals (My old fav.)
5 or 6 Turbo Snails and 5 or 6 Hermits for my CUC

No real mods to this nano, heater is in 3rd chamber and I covered the rear chambers with egg crate as my clowns LOVE to jump back there and swim.

Hope you enjoy, I will post pics of my 29 when the lights are on and the tank is clean :)

BUT for now:

looks really good i just started cycling now how often do u no water changes i also have 12g dx what equipment do u use ?

[sjkarrow]

i do water changes weekly, usually 2 or 3 gallons.


Chamber 1: kept stock filter sponges
Chamber 2: I have my heater and then I used left over egg crate and used cut 2 fit filter pads and made another filter pad
Chamber 3: Upgraded the return pump for more flow

I also added a Koralia Nano to the front glass for more circulation. Other than that my equipment is pretty much stock.

My clowns have never jumped to the back chambers.
