Hi Chris,
I read your article and its an eye opener. Smiled to myself several times while reading the article as my usual question to the shop guy is, "is this easy...."! I have a 63 litre, 2 foot nano tank which has been running for about a a month now. Today i noticed copepods. At least i think thats what they are. Whitish lil bug looking things that are hanging out in groups at the front glass panel. I know nuts about this science and I was seriously contemplating taking a 3rd degree in marine biology! The nano which i have now has pink panther zoas (single rock), a Goniopora Green, a Cerianthus filiformis, another tube anemone (white - unable to classify), mushroom polyps - i think its Ricordia and an orange sponge amongst live rock. The fish are as follows:- 1 Maroon Clown 1 Bangai Cardinal 1 sixline wrasse 1 skunk tilefish Please enlighten me on the following:- 1. Do I have to worry about the release of toxic metabolites? If so which ones should I be careful about? 2. What else can I add? I want a nice assortment of colors. 3. Does a Goniopora produce toxic metabolites? My lighting is 4 x 24 watt t5s - 2 actinic blue and 2 whites. Running a berlin airlift 90 protein skimmer and an external eheim canister filter with a hailea 100 hc chiller. My water temperature is around 26 degrees Celcius. Im in the process of getting a 6x2.5x2feet tank done. I need some advice on this as well. 1. Will T5s be enough bearing in mind that its only going to be 2 feet deep? 2. Im not so much concerned about SPS or LPS etc...what i really want is a colourful tank and some anemones for a group of clowns and sohal tangs etc. Have not really decided on the other fish. 3. Seeking your guidance on what i should stock it with in terms of invertebrates and how much space should i leave between them....im looking at a tank which is not dense with live rock but with nice enclaves here and there.. Looking forward to receiving your reply. PS attached is a pic of my nano All the best G |
