oh, maybe it is 24"

 

[Labora]

I would get a160we, but it is only 20" of spread

Yea 1 160we probably not enough I'm using 1 on a 15 gallon and that's at 100%

 

[40g Nano]

i have an a80 on a 14g 80% with good growth

 

[40g Nano]

So I think it is the Ai prime hd or kessil a160we

 

[Hincapiej4]

OK
Ill put the nems in first, and just feed for a few months to establish the tank

There's a good idea.

 

[40g Nano]

cant tell if thats sarcasm with the emoji

 

[Hincapiej4]

cant tell if thats sarcasm with the emoji

He.lla sarcasm.

 

[40g Nano]

Nems in when tank is stable

 

[40g Nano]

I don’t think you knew what I meant

 

[Hincapiej4]

When you put those fish in, it's gonna put a bioload on the tank.

Stop trying to speed **** up. Put the dang clownfish in first, let them establish the biofilter. Let the tank mature, THEN put the nemmies in for god's sake. People don't listen.

 

[40g Nano]

You want the news to establish or the clowns could mess them up

 

[40g Nano]

The nems

 

[40g Nano]

1. Cycle the tank and mature it with either food or a small fish that could be moved to my reef.
2. Add nems and let them get established before clowns
3. Add clowns when tank has been up for a while and add bacteria

 

[Hincapiej4]

Use a acclimation box. Be smart about this. Or get nemmies that can handle it. Besides, the clownfish you're gonna put in there will be small. You're gonna do more damage messing with the biofilter than they will do living in the nemmie.

My god.

 

[40g Nano]

Is that better?

 

[40g Nano]

Or it could be a medium fish like a hawkfish or wrasse

 

[40g Nano]

I could do what you said too, but how should I qt the clowns

 

[Reefing_addiction]

Huh? I keep a RBTA in a 29 gallon and it's more than enough space.

He wants multiple nems and 6 clowns

 

[40g Nano]

Yes

 

[40g Nano]

So in a 40 established tank, you think 7 small clownfish with a protein skimmer and a bottle of bacteria would be too much?!
