ok so i work at my lfs so price isnt too big of a deal here. I am stepping down from my 75 gal tank to a nano due to greeat rules living at a college dorm.
heres what we have so far...
1 the nano with refugium available from chris on nano-reef.com.
1 bad of white reef sand sold at our store
10 lbs fiji live rock
i already have a mini heater and mini jet for water movement as well as a huge supply of caulerpa and copepods for the refugium.
I dont think im going to do any kinds of filtration besides biological, we sell a mini skimmer at the store but a properly seeded refugium should be even better right?
chris, something was mentioned on RC about your tanks getting too hot with the fitted 32w light? what can you tell me about this?
what are some good fish for a nano? I am thinking about some kind of small blenny or goby for a little sand cleaning and maybe some kind of small clown or well obviously something small, and maybe a shrimp? is that too much bio load?
next, lets talk corals? whats gonna grow, whats not? obviously mushrooms are gonna be perfect.... but lets see some other options?
I am thinking a higher sand bed in the back than in the front... maybe like 1.5 inch in the front and 2 in the back?
i am pretty knowledgeable about marine and reef setupis in general but i am totally new to nano's and this will be my first refugium setup... is there anything i need to do to get the refug. going....
all help of course is VERY appreciated....
i am going to post this on RC as well just to get as many replies as possible...so dont get ticked when you read it over there too :)
thanks guys
Greg
