My New NanoCube 6

mapperkids · 08/12/2006, 04:15 PM

Just finished setup my Nanocube 6 within my $200 budget, very simple and I'm happy with it.

This hobby doesn't have to be expensive.

Any comments are welcome!

Looks good, I personally like the simplistic style instead of the rock wall style

it does look good.. BUT i suggest moving the crushed coral out.. and replacing it with sand.. detrius will get trapped in the Crushed coral and cause problems later on...
also.. i hope you didnt set this up in one day.. like the rock, fish, coral and water all in one day

No, the water, fish and LR are from my old 5 gal tank which running for two years. since the tank broken by accident, then I got the NanaCube 6 last week and found out it comes with the light that can support soft corals, so get those coral / mushroom yesterday and hope the lighting is enough for them. It states 3 watts per gallon.

But I don't what suppliment / food I should feed to those soft coral / mushroom??

Thanks!

The corals you have are photosynthetic, they should be fine with just light

How long I should let the light on during the day? 8 hours?
