Andrew's 15g nano reef feat pink spot goby/tiger pistol

[andrew989]

Yes i finaly got my tank this is troys older bro (by 1 min)
15 gallon 40 pounds of live sand a small piece of rock
PICS ON THE WAY
40 pound cause pistol shrimp and goby

 

[andrew989]

i got a 40-70g filter on a 15g tank how long will it take for the water to be clear

 

[contraband629]

You have 40lbs of live rock for 15 gallons? Holy crap!

 

[nanoman1]

40 pounds of live sand...for the goby

 

[btldreef]

WOW. That is a lot of sand. I have a pistol shrimp/goby 14G tank and I only put in 20lbs of sand and thought that was a lot.
Good luck

are u going for a deep sand bed as ur main filtration? i think you'd be better off with more live rock

 

[andrew989]

im buying more live rock but i need some money so probably this weekend ill get the rock
but its goona suck puting the live rock in beacause i need to move some sand aside then put in the rock because the pistol shrimp would dig under the rock and get crushed

Are you sure it's a 15 gallon? Could you give us a pic, because I'm sure other people are wondering the same thing I am. I would imagine with THAT much sand, you would have barely any water space and rock..

 

[troy989]

no its only like 3 inches deep...

 

[nissan577]

pic would be good????

 

[nikesb]

well 3 inches in a 12" high tank looks kinda funny if it isnt done right...

 

[troy989]

idk how high it is but it looks nice and its more like 3 but its for a goby anf shrimp gobys never go up

 

[nissan577]

pics yet????

 

[andrew989]

sry bout the pics i dont realy now how to upload them troy said hed do that for me
i bought two bags of 30 pound sand
i want to buy a nova extreme slr t-5 theres a 48 watt and a 96 would the 96 be able to have sps
ill ask troy right now to post the pics

 

[andrew989]

im using a piece of crap protien skimmer
troy told me to take everything out of the filter
so rly right now all the filter is doing is giving my tank flow

 

[nissan577]

the 48 would as well be able to keep sps just gotta have it high. well i think

but no matter what t5 are great lights

 

[troy989]

lol what do u mean high his tank is like 10 inches tall

 

[nissan577]

gotta keep the sps high

 

[nikesb]

ive seen 2x24w keep the sps alive but itll brown out over time. and by high, he means in the upper 1/3 of the tank. the par levels on the sandbed are not gonna be good enough for sps if you dont have great lights and reflectors.
