Have the same tank as you...talking about fish, I had a tail spot blennie (Bennie) but I lost all 3 fish in a power outage...I am very cautious who I'm putting with who...so right now I have a yellow watchman and tiger shrimp in the tank...and a purple fire fish and chalk bass in QT for two weeks with copper and Prazipro...it is great looking forward to a peaceful tank...had a yellow tail damsel before the crash...really regretted having him...stupid mistake... anyhow these three will be it...good luck to you...

Bowen...is your stuff under nano or cube or what...I forget...since we have the same tank, it would be good to compare notes...

 

[bowen1022]

It's under nano tanks

 

[bowen1022]

What is yours under? I can't seem to find it

Today I was observing my tank after track practice and one of my Armor of God Zoa polyps kinda looks shriveled up. Not closed but like a raisin lol. Anyone have any ideas for what's happening? I'm going to dip it when I get back to my room and probably move it to a different location in the tank.

Also I'm having a hard time figuring out where to place corals so if anyone has any suggestions please chime in

I'm all over the place...never actually joined nano or cube...just asking to help with problems...

What chamber do you have the ghost skimmer in?

Oh ok well this is my build thread and Ill be posting progress throughout so feel free to ask questions and such

What chamber do you have the ghost skimmer in?

I have it in the second chamber. Media Basket in the first and heater/ato in the return

 

[bowen1022]

Here is a quick FTS I just took. Does anyone have any ideas on Coral Placement? I want to permanently place them in here but im just not quite sure where to place everything.

2nd to the left next to the over flow...its a touch and go thing...also have a problem with microbubbles from the skimmer...I put filter pads all around the skimmer to block the bubbles, seems to help some...also, I just got a filter sock...removed that plastic filter thing and put a carbon pad + phosphate pad right in the sock...its only been a few days but seems to block a lot of the detritus from going through the skimmer and going back into the tank...I have a top off between skimmer and out take...sort of crowded but that's the name of the game with the fusion nano 10...

I do have lot's of thoughts on placement...have a degree in interior design and esthetics are my main concern...I'll take a picture in next couple of days...mine up since June...

I have a fusion 10 and want to get either the ghost or Tunze 9001 but don't know if that one fits.

 

[TreyC2010]

Awesome tank!

AS I said, I have the ghost...not perfect, but I think I'll get the bugs out once I get better control of my nutrients and other ongoing issues...it certainly fits...wondering how long you have been doing nano reefs...if your a newbie, I have a fantastic book (onKindle or paper) that I will recommend...even if your an old timer, this book is really good and I have been doing fish, fresh and salt for more than 45 years...

 

[Flameback Pair]

I'm dying to know which book it is. I started FW in 1976 and reefs in 1999 myself.

 

[Congaken]

To Sikorsky, Bowen and Powers...the book is "the Nano Reef Handbook" by Chris Brightwell...covers all the bases intelligently...

 

[Flameback Pair]

I've seen that book in stores but the author limits the definition of nanos to 15 gallons max and that's why I never bought the book. But now that I have a 10 gallon nano maybe I should take another look at it. I have a book by Brightwell, Reef Chemistry and it's an excellent reference.

Unfortunately the Tunze doesnt fit:/ its ghost or mame (or another small airstone skimmer)

Awesome tank!

Thank you!

Sweet Ill have to take a look at it!

bowen, about how many pages are in that book?
