I'm planning to change out my 10g standard tank to a 12g Nano Cube. I plan to use all the rock and half of the water from the 10g when I do the switch. I will use most, if not all the Live Sand substrate and will supplement with the Southdown that I've had on hand for a while. I think this will produce a smaller, shorter cycle and will ease the transition.
I have some questions:
1. Will the lighting that comes with the cube be enough for what I will keep: Shrooms, Zoos, Xenia, maybe some other small polyps ?
2. How should I alter the filtration if keeping a reef? Should it be altered?
3. Where should the heater go? What kind of heater should I use so it wont melt anything? (I am using a small heater now for my 10g, can't remember the wattage). I have smaller ones too.
4. Can I use a Protein Skimmer with it? Where would it be put?
5. Does the filtration in the back work like a sump?
Thanks in advance!
