Hi all.
As a newbie to reef building/keeping and a newbie to forum posting, I thank those of you who responded to my 'get aquainted' thread. Several of you suggested I begin my tank thread.
Hmmm - first of all I had to determine what was meant by a 'thread'!:weird: I cleared that hurdle and read a few initial posts to a few th who have 28 gallon nanos.
I look forward to reading your responses and learning from ya'll (Southerner here).
I purchsed my JBJ Nano Cube and stand from Drs. Foster and Smith. I researched several sites. Their prices and customer service were attractive to me.
On September 4, I set up the tank. One of the managers at Fintastic (LPS) acts as my mentor and advisor, providing advice, agreeing with or disputing the knowledge I gain on my own. Here's a pic of the tank and stand. I decided to do no enhancements to this tank (such as a chiller or skimmer). I did add a powerhead and trashed the plastic Filter Media Basket.
I added live sand and some great live rock I purchased at Fintastic. I purchase my saltwater from them, using their R/O water to top off.
This past weekend I added a few coral frags (Zoas), two Ocallaris and snails to begin my CUC.
Yesterday I added a Duncan and a frag with green mushrooms. I have a feeling a few of you are going to tell me I am moving way too fast. I'm ready to receive your guidance!
Regarding the Duncan - I'm still researching its preferences regarding light and water flow. Additionally, I purchased a turkey baster and frozen mysis shrimp to feed the duncan and the Ocallaris. Any advice you wish to share?
