growth thread

[schneidergarret]

This is going to be my growth thread to see how my tank grows every month or two

[schneidergarret]

A little about my tank is its a 24 nanocube with a 150 watt metal halide it has one clown fish cause he kills everyone else I put in there with him

[schneidergarret]

This is also a challenge from my wife in 2 weeks im not allowed to put my hands in the tank for 2 whole months since she says thats why everything has been taking longer to grow

[terrypercula]

Depending what you're doing in there your wife may be onto something lol does that tank get hot with the halides?

[schneidergarret]

No I havent had any heat issues with it maybe 1 degrees swing but I have a vent right above the tank and the wife likes it cool so it all works out

[schneidergarret]

so about two months have passed and im going to put a picture of what it is now the growth is pretty crazy

Thanks and for filtration not much really in the first chamber I have poly fill and a sponge second chber a bag of carbon and third heater and return pump the live rock does a lot of it I have some algae right now but am waiting for my order to get in on a cuc

[Amatuer21]

Sounds like a pretty simple setup you got goin on for such a nice tank. How many lbs of live rock would you say you got?

[schneidergarret]

I would have to say about 35lbs around about maybe a little more. Also I just saw im actually originally from ohio grew up in Cincinnati suburbs

[Amatuer21]

Oh dang so you have more then enough live rock lol. Thats always good though i think. Cant have to much natural filtration. Really im in cuyahoga falls, akron area.
