Well, i have a 120 FOWLR and I had a 10 gallon tank just sitting around. So I cleaned it out, and added 1.5 inch of sand and 12 pounds of LR from my big tank. Also, the water was 50% from the big tank and 50% new salt water. Here's the questions:
I also had a spare 300W heater laying around. I am currently using this. I know it's way way way higher than what is needed, but can it still work like this?
I have an AC301 power head w/ a quick filter on it. Is this along with the LR enough to filter the tank for two small fish? The powerhead runs about 150 gal per hour, so 15 times per hour.
I didn't want to do a DSB because first of all, it would take up almost half of the tank just for sand, and secondly I didn't think the tank floor was big enough for it to operate properly. Any thoughts?
Ideas for fish? Anyone? Could I put more than 2 small docile fish in there?
Are there any keys to keeping water quality stability in such a small environment? Nanos scare me....
Anyone who replies with some advice or thoughts on this post is offered in advance: I will do your or your children's homework for you/them!!! Haha, seriously. Thanks!!
