Cheers for the comments guys! Yes! The tank is now picking up and looking much more healthy.

 

The 'Nems' are Blue Tipped Anemones that I got from Vebas. Actaully I only bought one, but the Anemone split into two!

Anyway, the bigger one is looking like it will split again and when it does, the bio-load on the tank will be too much, so I am planning to probably give Dazzab and Red Devils one each as they have been so nice and interested in my progress. :)

 

Some of the recent things I learnt about my Nano:

  • There was this wooden airstone thingy in the Protien Skimmer which had needed to be replaced, it had become blocked, I didn't realise how important it was to be freely working. I should have replaced it before the Holiday
  • Also the Ocean Free filter is made of three parts, rock noodle things, sponge and a carbon bag. After having the tank running for 6 months I finally realised that that the carbon is probably activated carbon which needs to be replaced regularly. So I bought some new carbon, tank is running better.
  • Definetly needs WC weekly, now that the tank is quite a bit more mature 1 week is maximum (it gets like a brown scum on the top of the water, indicating a definite WC required)
  • I tested to see if the tank could handle 2 week WCs which appeared to be fine, but now definetly not.
  • I have been taking water down to LFS for testing quite regually as they can test for more things than me
  • My tank appears to be at it's max Bio-load
  • As I use the LFS water, I never add water conditioner.

Regards,

MrLeifBeaver

 

In regards to running a Nano, it's similar to a Discus tank, if you can run one of them, then a Nano is close to it (A little harder). Yes, it's more work than usaul, but it's so rewarding.

I find that you are willing and happy to maintaining the tank as you know that it going give back with so much interest.
