Newbie 10 gallon Nano

[brooklynfish]

Thanks

In that case, I'll go with a normal 10 gallon with a 70w hqi mh. IMO, the dimentions are better then the Aquapod (its really just a box).

 

[brooklynfish]

that would still be fine for SPS, right?

 

[Cichlid-Man]

Normal 10gal with 70w MH? Sure should be fine.

ALL aquariums are a box really.

 

[brooklynfish]

haha

That would make the aquqpod a cube...sort of.

13 more days!

C-Man, does the korala pump really circulate as in turn?

 

[brooklynfish]

I'm think of 2 maxi jets on a current usa dual timer. Does any one have this arrangement?

 

[brooklynfish]

Because i'm going to go with a metal halide and summer is on its way now, i'm going to run in to cooling problems. I was thinking about going with a simple clip on fan. Has this worked for anyone?

 

[Cichlid-Man]

Yes.

Graduation only raked in $320. No worryies, my birthday is in a few days (June 30).

For now, I'm going to order most of the supplies from aquariumguys. This is everything(except the lights and sand. Drs. foster and smith has the lights for only $200):

Maxi-Jet 900 PH Powerhead 230gph (x2)- both of them will be on a wave making timer.

Visi-Therm Deluxe 50W 7 1/4" Heater

Fresh/Marine Hi-Range Liquid pH Test

Deep Six Hydrometer

Saltwater Calcium Test Kit

Dual Timer or Wavemaker with Splash Resistant Cover

Nano-Reef Part A & B Ion & Buffer - 8 oz.

Instant Ocean Salt 25 Gallon

PLEASE TELL ME IF I LEFT SOMETHING OUT! I don't want to spend $8 on shipping for one item.

 

[brooklynfish]

Last chance! I have to PM pearl for the 8% discount.

 

[Cichlid-Man]

I can't think of anything else....but i could easily be overlooking something...

 

[brooklynfish]

I got the code, so I'll get it all tom. I should get a clip on fan, also.

Do you have tests for ammonia and nitrates? Do you have a thermometer?

 

[brooklynfish]

Yup. Sorry, I forgot to mention all of those.

 

[Lotus]

Do you have a spare powerhead/pump to put in the bucket you make saltwater in?

 

[brooklynfish]

Hmmmm....nope. I'll look in to one of those.
