JBJ Nano Cube 12 DX.......

[nelly29]

Here is a quick FTS of my tank full of base rock and sand substrate:



I have thrown in a pinch of flakes to kick off the cycle....so now I will wait and start my water tests...This is the first time I have tried to start a cycle with just base rock instead of partial cured live rock...I figured once I add a few frags the base they are on will seed the base rock. I know it will take a long time but I think that is part of the challenge

I have not made a final decision on my aquascape....but I do want to keep the rock off of all 4 walls inside the aquarium so I can keep them clean...

What do ya think?

Here is an updated Pic:



This pic is with lights on and the koralia nano behind the rocks giving the tank so extra flow.....I will keep testing water and wait for the spikes so I can start to add some life to the tank!

Hey guys here is a quick update on my nano.....sorry it has been a while since I have posted an update

A new FTS with a few new pieces I have acquired from some local reefers and canreef members (thanks guys )

And a few close ups of some of the corals......

It has been about 7 weeks since base rock hit the saltwater and things seem to be going well.....I now have almost no algea growth between 2 gallon water changes every 5 days or so.....my snails and two hermits are doing a great job keeping everything in check!!

My base rock is now starting to get some color since I added 2 peices of cured live rock to seed the tank

FTS.....



Zoas



Can anyone ID these two corals?????



Mushrooms.....



Can anyone ID this coral?????



Hammer Coaral?



I think my next addition is going to be a perppemint shrimp.....
