Fluval Chi 5 gallon

[msouth468]

No problem, the key to a SW tank is making sure it cycles and keeping a very strict cleaning regiment. That is about it. At least from my experience. If all you have is some live rock and a crab, you might be fine with doing a water change every 2 weeks. But you really have to set the system up to really get a hold of what it needs.

Good luck and please provide pics when you can!!!!

Reading through the Nano-Reef forum noobie sticky. I might get brave but it's going to take a while. Especially if this floor doesn't get finished soon. Maybe I'll reinforce my desk and do a ten gallon...

Alright, I've decided I'm not going to do a pico reef with my Chi but I am feeling braver about trying salt water and I'm going to keep one of my 10 gallons or my 20 long for a nano reef at a later date. I'd like to thank everyone for their help

No problem. Keep us informed for when you take the dive to SW

Congrats

My SO doesn't buy me marine books.


but did say OK to a new 90g aquarium to raise cuttlefish

I'd call that a good trade off Are you going to journal it?

like a time-lapse video of the egg's hatching?

Fluval Spec would be a better choice for a pico.. Its what I'm doing right now, Fuval Spec, WP10, intank media basket, still deciding on lighting between current marine orbit led and par38.

I'll definitely keep that in mind Squid. I'll be really excited when I get to start this project. Still working my way through that first book. It's kind of reminding me of school...
