As some of you know I am coming to the close of my 125 gallon reef tank, meaning I'm pretty much done stocking and adding to it. So, what to do with my QT............Well, I can't think of it just sitting in my garage going to waste, so I thought of starting a new project - a Nano Reef in my office.
But first I have a few question?
My QT is a 12 gallon nano cube (but truefully I think it only holds 10 gallons). I was using the sponge, ceramic rings, and bio balls that came with it and not much else, bare bottom and all. Well, now that I want to convert it to an actual little reef tank I'm thinking I need to ditch the bio balls and ceramic rings and replace it with live rock rubble. Is this correct? What about the sponge, do you all still have a sponge in your filter areas? My tank has four chambers and going from left to right this is what they are: return pump/bio-balls and ceramic rings/polyfilter sponge/larger black sponge which is where the water intake is. How would you reset this filter area?
I want to add ls, lr, a black and white clown and some small goby. I would like this tank to be a mini-zoa garden with not much else (maybe a few rics). I want to keep this tank simple and easy. Of course with finishing my recent 1 year project this should be a piece of cake, right?
