havnt decidedwhat to put in it.goin to start the cycling tomorow

reef, i think it would be cool to have coral and fish, because you aren't going to be able to stock that many fish but you could do lots more fish and coral

 

[sinaloa213]

i want to add a pair of black and white clowns and a longnose hawkfish
would that be possible?

bump

 

[sinaloa213]

no one wants to help out?

 

[polyps]

yea that would work,so have you decided if its a reef

 

[sinaloa213]

i wanna do an aggresive with a couple little triggers or a baby snowflake eel by itself would any of those ideas work?
anyone?

 

[sinaloa213]

third day of cycling
ph:7.8
amonia:0
nitrite:0
nitrate:10
is that good progress have live rock and sand and canister filter

you shouldnt have trates after 3 days. You wont get trates before ammonia.

i think triggers would get too big for a 20g tank and i have herd of people having a snowflake eel in a 20g but i dont know for sure

Not to speak for her (Zano), but I believe she has another tank to upgrade that tang into?

the 20gal reef in the pics, are those rocks right at the back of the tank against the glass, cause i head that reduces circulation and can lead to spikes????i believe there must be a gap.
