I ruined my aquascape... I hope nothing dies.
I got rid of my frogspawn today, so I went to the fish store and got 2 new corals and when I was trying to change things around I was too rough, and I broke my pretty arch in to rubble!
not only that my coral started falling all over...even in back of the rocks, so I had to move everything. The sand got shifted a lot, so I hope that doesn't start a mini cycle.
My poor candy canes don't look very good. I'll post pictures of how it looks in a bit. It's completely different!

Ok, I'm definately going to get a llarge tank like 150 gallons, but the question is- should i go right there or buy a nano (24g) first?
Next question- should i start off with a fish-only, FOWLR, or reef?
i would really like a bit more fish than yours does but i still LOVE your coral setup! with a 24g nano about how many fish could I fit in comfortably with that kind of lr and coral?
LOOOOOVE the tank! ive noticed you rearrage the coral alot though. never satisfied huh? lol
oops i guess i sort of jinxed it- sorry
it was such a beautiful tank! I hope everything lives!

Nice job with the Purigen, very quick thinking. From their site, it looks like nice stuff to keep around... for just your type of emergency. So you got all of your ideas/ answers from this site..........? Man, you must have a photographic memory.
Well what ever it is, it shows through your dedication, and all of us appreciate you sharing all of the great (and not so great) things about your nano.
So when are you going to open your own LFS?!? :notsure:
:happyfish

Not much more I can say that no one else has already said. Awesome! I do have to thank you for recommending rics awhile back. Got two the other day from SWF. They're babies still, but I can't wait until they grow up and hopefully look like yours.

Why did you get rid of your frogspawn? did it die? Im telling you, the way you switched from your old tank to your new tank, I was guessing you might have a mini cycle. Either way, just an update, my tank is still not doing well. Lots of algae, the flow sucks from the stock pump thats in there. I redid my aquascape like million times. I just never had so much trouble with a nanocube as I do with the biocube.
