dream of a nano reef tank postponed till info gaind

firefish lover · 10-26-2006, 05:21 PM

I plan on starting a nano reef aquarium using a oceanic bio cube. The lighting specs and filtaration are as follows..
1. 2 compact fluorescent bulbs 1-36 watt 10,000k and 1-36 watt true
Actinic 03
2. integrated wet/dry biological filtaration
3. lunar blue, moon glow LED lights

First of all what does the first bullet mean these specs are from a advertisment so i do not understand what the first bullet means i understand what the second and third bullets mean. Is the filtaratin enough or do i need another filter? If i do need another filter to go with the integrated one then what is it.

I was planning on putting beginner friendly soft corals like tree and elaganece coral, 1 firefish, 1 common clownfish, and some other reef safe invertabrets. Is there anything wrong with the fish and invertabrets i was planning on putting in the tank?

If there is anything wrong with the tank or the inhabitants please tell me what it is.

Thank you so much fellow hobbiyists!

Hey firefish lover,

No problems with the livestock choices so far. Although the information doesn't say how big the tank is.

#1 is simply telling you that you have 2 power compact (PC) bulbs over the tank, one bright white, the other blue with a total of 72 watts between them. Could be sufficient, or not depending on how big the tank is and what you keep in it down the road.

HTH,
Aaron

Firefish Lover,

Is this the 29 gallon tank you have been talking about in some of your other threads? Sounds like a great project!

Yah it is the 29 gallon i was talking about in the othor thread. I was wondering also how i would move a fully set up reef tank with corals, fish and silicon cemented live rock. I am planning on moving in 3 to 6 months. Should i even try to set it up before i get to my new house? Another thing i was wondering about is if i added a uv clarifier to this tank if it would help the water quality or if it would just kill helpful nitrafiying bacteria and othor helpful planktonic animals, Thanks so much for the information so far

.

Thanks alot guys!
