hey, how do you keep the cleaner wrasse?
sweet tank how do you keep from fluctuating temps and how much evaporation do you have in a day
this is horrible my immortal version missing notes
I really like the simplicity to it
just what I am thinking of doing with mine
@MAvalos1989 the tomato clown will get to big and aggresive!
@MAvalos1989 i use a canister filter on my ten gallon nano but i clean it out about once a month to reduce my nitrate’s.
HI does the aqua clear power head will help to remove waste and food from the water? I need help I got a little algae problem in my rocks and aquarium glass? does the aqua clear power head will give more oxygen and it will help my xenia coral to pulse and clone itself?
Hey tvshowuploader3, I was using a canister filter but because a canister filter is just a nitrate factory, it is highly reccomended NOT to use one. I would most definitely use a sump as it adds more water volume and more space to add heaters and such to avoid having the show tank cluttered with equipment.
HI what kind of cansiter filter u are using? does the casiter filter helps to remove algae and stuff? it is much better then a sump right?
nice
do you ever have bad intereactions between the red-leg hermit crab you have and the anemone? i’ve read they don’t get along as the red-leg is a natural predator to the anemone
Haha! It’s the instrumental to ‘Evanescence – My Immortal’
Cool aquarium. Also what is the song? I now have it stuck in my head.
what kind of light do you use?
I purchased it Tank Bred…
Did u bought your ocellaris clownfish tank bred or wild cought?
That there was stock lighting, but i recently upgraded to to two 65 watt 50/50 10,000 K daylight bulb and actinic bulb…
is your light 65 watts?
I’ve actually upgraded from this 20 to a 40 gallon and transferred everything to it, and added a bubble tip anemone, and a frogspawn, but the Ocellaris has not let anything host it…I guess he’s just not interested…YET…MAYBE!
would your ocellaris clownfish might host your anemone after two months? did u add any new corals already?
I’ll look in to it thanks.
That what I thought at first, but It never hurts to try. And here I am, the tank is going on about 3 months now with everything perfectly fine…Just need the time to make sure everything’s up to par Like the water parameters and so forth…
How hard is that to keep? I’d love to get a 20 and make it saltwater but I always thought that the smaller the tank the harder to keep.
Awesome Tank! Looks Great!!
Funny you say that puck126, because they started fighting today, So i think I’m gonna have to take back the Tomato Clown, but not the other Clown cus he’s my favorite…LOL
