OK iv got a few pics of the setup. Been setup since Tuesday. Let me know what you guys think of the scape job, and the amount of LR to water volume iv got going. Its about 15-16lbs of LR and its 10lbs of LS.

I tried posting pics up twice without success. I have tried linking them in from photobucket and i have tried uploading them to this site. Both time it said the post was successful but both times the post never showed up on my thread.

what gives?

Because of your postcount being less than the required number your pics and links must be approved by a mod. It is a security feature for the site. Everything should be taken care of and visible now.

Get to posting and you won't have this issue again

Ok, i see them now. Thanks guys!

I changed the aquascape a little bit since those pics so ill have to update them.

I installed the maxi-jet 900, what a difference this made in flow! I also installed the Koralia Nano, and im happy with that too.

The only issue i have noticed is that even in an air conditioned room the temperature still climbs from 78 to 80 when i turn th etank lights on. Will this kind of fluctuation be an issue for fish or coral?

Hi, I set up a 24g nano cube few months ago. You can see my thread since you have a similar tank.

I set up a home made chaeto chamber in the back middle chamber. For now my tank is doing great, even with NYC tap water.

Welcome to MR. Good luck with your new setup. Looks like it's starting out very nice. Always nice to see someone exercising patience and doing research BEFORE adding livestock. Great group of people here, ask questions and read a lot and you'll have a better shot at success.

Keep those pix coming.

Hey I'm a newb with a nano as well. Just set up my 12g last week. I got some real decent live rock, with some hitch hikers and live sand. I still have the stock media in the filter. Someone also was kind enough to cut me off a piece of his filter sock, so thats the only other thing i have in the filter. Can someone give me some suggestions on what to do back there. Right now its my overflow with my heater into bio balls and a return pump. What do I do?

Add another newbie to the list. Just joined today. Nice to know everybody is relatively local. I plan on getting the 12g cadlights in the near future so I'm gleaming as much info as possible. Great advice so far. Was running a 46g freshwater bow tank for a while and I'd like to try my hand at sw. LR, LS and of course a clown and maybe a goby or damsel fish.
