sam i've no experience with marine at all. how difficult is it to keep a marine tank of this size? how often are you doing water changes, and does that tank come with an all in one filter setup?

Cheers

how difficult is it to keep a marine tank of this size?

no more harder than freshwater (even easier in some aspects)

? how often are you doing water changes

hehe not enough it was about once a month but now im getting saltwater at a good price im doing it fortnighly, when i get the time

does that tank come with an all in one filter setup?

it does but im only using the machine filtration in it pulled the bio balls out and stuck zeolite in. im using the live rock as my filter

Hey sam, quick question. do you have a protein skimmer in there at all.

[Iamsam]

:oops: nope , i should but i dont *shhh dont tell ne1*

[Managuense]

Do tanks of that size need one badly or not. I guess the size would make it awkward to put a skimmer in

[Iamsam]

it does need one, not badly but its better 2 have one, you can see when its time for a water change

[NicholasC]

That has to be one of the best nano tanks i have seen! 5 stars mate because you still have room for even more corals

When i first saw the tank i thought hmm it may be a little small but now that i have seen it with corals it seems there is a heap of room and they are booming.

Also if you really wanted a protein could you have a syphon and a small pump and get like a acrylic box made up with a protein in it outside the tank (behind it) kinda like a mini sump then just pump the water back into the tank. The_German sold me these little 250 liter per hour pumps that where like two match boxes lined up to each other in size.

Just check your system though if it is fine with out the protein them really why goto the trouble to have one

Can't wait to see any more updates

yeah its so empyt at the moment im just wating for the right corals, theres not much around atm in nice corals

[churchy]

Get some nice coral morphs and propergate them by cutting them in half with a sharp razor blade and do it every couple of months.

[NicholasC]

I am in the process of setting up a fragment / proporgation tank for that reason the multiply my corals.

Nic

[Iamsam]

but ive got to find some nice corals to frag

[NicholasC]

I don't have exceptional corals either but i am going to do it for the knowlege and because it is pretty cool. Also i don't think i can frag many of mine may have to get a big colony of xenia

If you want to frag your fluffies ill buy one
