We had a 65 gl for the past two years, but unfortunately need to downgrade
. We need some input from you more experienced nano owners
on our decision. We are going back and forth between:
12 gl JBJ
2 x 24 watt bulbs
or
8gl Oceanic
2 x 18 watt bulbs
What do you guys think????

....I thought I was getting the 12 gl also......but when I got home my husband had already purchased the 8 gl and set it up....It looks very nice though. We transfered the sand, rocks and a small cleaning crew from our 65 gl, trying to avoid a big cycle, but the parameters are going nuts... .......this morning I tested and the amonia, trites and trates were out the roof. Our previous tank cylce it was one at a time ( I can already tell that this is going to be way harder than our 65gl.....love it thought
). Should I do a water change???? I know it slows the cycle but I do not want the cleaning crew to suffer. I would put them back into the big tank but we sold it yesterday.....what do you guys suggest????
