| TJ, tank looks good! Do you have a sump of some sort? I noticed the overflow, if so, where are pictures of that? ![]()

| Looking good so far, I can defiently say to get a blue or back background for the back of the glass.. it'll hide all the wires and make the tank even brigher then it already is ![]() see those cermaic pores in the top of your aquaclear filter? Remove them !! They will trap nitrates... as far as the carbon in the middle, change that every 2-4 weeks, and rinse that sponge WELL, that too can be a nitrate factory... ![]() You could also fill it up with rubble rock and that'd make a nice lil pod safe haven... ![]() Keep up the good work ![]() |

| ok i removed that other stuff. the guy at the lfs said not even to put in the carbon.. so i'll just go with the sponge? or should i just take out the sponge and put in live rock rubble?

| and for further info, the aquaclear is only on there to build up some good bacteria, so when i start my 10g nano in a couple weeks, it'll have a head start ![]()

| Hi I was wondering if you cycled the tank for 6 week's before adding fish.....If you diden't you could be setting yourself up for falure....Other then that it look's great just slow down....There's no way to build a reef in a week..Patience is the key.. G/L Brian |

| so take out the sponge too? or leave that in there with the rubble?
