Default Re: Pictures of my nano 14gal

The oceanic 14gal biocube came with:

48 Watt Compact Fluorescent Lighting
1 - 24w 10,000K Lamp
1 - 24w Actinic 03 Lamp
Moon Glow Blue LED's

I run actinic 1 hour before 10k comes on. and then turn it off 1 hour after. So two hours in the morning.

run 10k for 10hrs

actinic comes on 1 hour before 10k shutoff and stays on 1 hour after. Then moon glow comes on when actinic shuts off and they shut off the next morning with the actinic comes on. Repeat cycle 24/7/365.

As for the two fish theory, the LFS said that the bio load would be good with two fish, coral and cleaner crew. I'm still ramping up on the cleaner crew. but if the tank stays clean with what I have I might move to more than two fish. But I'm going slow and careful.

I read a quote on here that said something like "Remember the only things that happen quickly in this hobby are bad things." So I will put in 1 fish then two fish. See how the tank likes it.
