Looking for pictures of bare bottom nanos only...

[skabimini]

...lets see them! How has it been working for you? Any issues with a nano being so small. I had a 75 gal. SW BB and loved it. I am looking at a 24 gal. and was wondering if keeping the water balanced is a problem.

Would love to see pics of those nano BB out there! Yes, I did a search... did not come up with much.

I have a 29 BB that I just started. So far so good!

My BB 20H has been running from Dec 20, 2005 to presstent. I started with very little LR, about 3 pounds, and I am now in the proccess of using the LR to turn 30 pounds of base rock into LR. I am almost done with that, and I think I should be ready for coral by mid Febuary, even sooner for fish.

I am running a 10g Sump wich holds roughly 5-7 gallons when the pump is on, and I have an AquaC Remora w/ MJ1200 in the sump which runs 24/7. I also run a small bag of carbon 24/7 to help polish the water clarity.

I just tested my params, and I have 0 for the Nitrates, Nitrites, and Ammonia.

Here's my most up-to-date picture.


I realy like havein the BB, it allows for me to have alot of flow for my future SPS. I have a turn over rate of about 95x. Another good thing about BB is that I can easily suck out ditris.

BB and lovin' it. (For a non-SPS tank, I would go with sand though).

Looks great!

[Travis Savant]

Thanks, I will get a more up-to-date picture tomorrow after noon.

[vanmo92]

looks great

[mandrin13]

They look cool but I like some kind of sand or other substrate more.

[Travis Savant]

It's not all about looks, it's about haveing no nutrience in the water for bad algaes to feed on. So that's why I would suggest using a BB tank for anything but SPS and the larger, over 3", clams.

My BB 10 Gallon

[mdt178]

does a 40g count as a nano?



pic taken in Dec. I've since moved most LPS and zoas to a smaller tank as well as having a new rockscape.

here's a picture of my 10g BB. the picture is a little old...i'll try and get some update pictures soon.

This is just an upgrade from my 10gal so the rock is old. This system is a fem months old and pretty much unstocked. My old tanks were BB, and it is what i prefer, but i mostly keep sps, it would be different if I wanted a mixed reef. Also if you go BB I highly recommend using HDPE or starboard for the bottom, looks 100x better.

Nice tank folks. Hopefully I will have some pictures to share soon of my 29BB.

[Ludwigia73]

Mdt, I don't think that qualifies, but I am really glad you posted it. Fantastic tank!!!

[OCDep]

My barebottem

It is actually sand mixxed with epoxy so it still has the sand look but is rock solid.

I am very happy with it so far, the only thing I would do differnetly next time, is i will not do the extra epoxy on top of the sand. It made for a nice level surface but you can see a few bubbles if you look closely. That stuf fon the bottom right is detritus and rock dust from the live rock. I suck all that crap out every water change.

I have also notice greater growth in my corals since goin barebottom

[abfleck]

Here are a few pictures of my 29 RR BB

Enjoy!
