Ten gallon Nano Reef

This is my new nano reef I started partly because of lack of funds and partly because of the new adventure to it. I took my ideas from ipsfdotcom (nano lagoon series), which gives a breakdown on the real way to make this tank. Keep in mind...mine has varied from the right way to do it. I believe ipsfdotcom knows what they are doing and one can be very successful using their products and methods. They tend to stay away from adding fish to the tank, and are very succesful doing it. It keeps the reef very healthy in this small environment without a buildup of Nitrogen and Phosphorus. They are also advocates for keeping the tanks as captive-bred as possible. This is specifically made for the beginner in reef keeping.

so turning it over will get rid of it?

[johnsemail1000]

@jayjay2033 Not in every case. It depends on the reason the algae is growing. If it is due to an over production of nonessential nutrients in the tank such as nitrates and phosphates, it will not get rid of the problem. These may occur with over feeding, inadequate filtration, and using water that is not Reverse osmosis for making new saltwater and top off. Sometimes it is a problem with an limited cleanup crew, such as hermits crabs, emerald crabs, snails, stars, etc... Hope this helps.

@jayjay2033

I turned the rock over to the other side. I know it seems simplistic, but it worked.

Unfortunately...it did not. Sorry I havn't check this for like six months. Anyway, I have a new lighting system on my new 20 gallon xtra tall, and my new rose anemone seems to be doing really good.
