Starting a nano reef, help!
I love corals but have no idea what I'm doing yet. I like to know everything before I get started, so I came here!
Anyway, what are the water parameters supposed to be? What all do I measure in the water for a nano reef? How do I measure nutrient levels? How do I measure dKH? I wanted to start out with Liveaquaria's Soft coral nano package, is that a good idea? How much coral should I start out with? What do I feed my corals? Would a 24 gallon nano cube suffice? Do I need to add or change anything in the nano cube? What about cleaners? Is this a big enough cube for them? Should I be looking into a bio cube instead? Sorry for all the questions! I just don't want the coral to die on me when I start. |

Re: Starting a nano reef, help!
ok well do u know about the nitrogen cycle? water parameters should remain below 5ppm for nitrate. pH should be at 8.3, alkalinity at 2.5 to 4 meq/L, dKH at 8-12, magnesium at 1250-1350 ppm, calcium at 380-450 ppm, specific gravity should remain at 1.024-1.026, phosphate, ammonia and nitrite 0 ppm unless the tank is cycling. here is a good link about nano reefs: Nano Cube Setup - Saltwater Reef Tank Aquarium

I'm so sorry I haven't been on the forum in so long! Don't worry, I haven't forgotten this lovely website! I moved to a different county back in May 2011 and started high school in a totally different school district. So I'm still adjusting and studying hard, and don't presently have any aquariums. But once I do, I'll be right back on this forum! |
