Swiss Red Sea Max Nano (20g)

[Latte]

Looks really interesting and good so far! I'm quite new to the hobby and was checking this post out as it's a similar build to what I'm hoping for. I am probably wrong, because again I'm quite new, but it seems like maybe you've added a really significant amount of livestock to this tank that's really quite young? Is your ammonia okay? Hope they're all doing well in there certainly looks awesome! Good luck

Hey, any news?
I saw your nitrates rising, was just wondering if you could keep them in check. Hope everything's still fine, keep us updated.

thank you man!
I plan to remove the 3 seperate bubble gum frags and glue them to one bigger piece.
then I want to place some Millepora frags on the top of my rock.
Hopefully this works, because I honestly dont know what PAR I have there.

Is the Tunze 9001 an easy fit and is it silent? I mean more silent than the original one? I hate the noise.

Yes fits perfect in middle chamber quiet as has magnet u can use on glass. I don't have it next to socks its on other end where foam trap is

Ok yeah im pretty curious now.
Can you also lemme know how you perform a water change? Do you shut off all the pumps and skimmer in order to do a water change? Or are you simply just pulling out water and then refill when everything still runs?

Yes, the AWC i only take out about 1.5L 2x day but you can adjust it to what you want with optical sensors, one is for top level and ATO other one is where it will drain too. I have 2 x 30L drums so i dont only need to change it ever few weeks. could do 1 day or every few days its fully customisable.

Well.. maybe time to update this thread..
I had issues with dinos and wasnt happy with my rockwork / scape.

So I did a new scape and cleaned the tank.

I started with live rock and insta stocked with 2 colonies..

This is now running for 1 week.

Its from an Indo import.

some sort of orange mille with green polyps.

the other one has a weird growth pattern and I dont know what it is.. its multicolored and should be a mille too.

my birdsnest still looks good colored
