Whats up guys,
I have been on nano-reef.com for a bout a month now and was refered to this site. I live in Manhattan so it will be great to have some local knowedge and support.
Im in the prossess of getting a 12g NC DX up and running. I just added LR (fiji) and LS last night so now im waiting for it to cycle and for the rock to cure. This gives me time to plan the tank.
First off, some things i have added:
Upgraded from stock pump to a Maxi-Jet 900 utility pump
I have a Koraliah Nano power head ready to go in.
I have removed all of the filter media that came with the tank. Im planning on putting some filter floss in the first chamber and Chem-Pure in the second chamber with a little more floss if needed. The other option im considering is to setup a fuge in the middle chamber.
So back to planning the tank.. my concern is that while i wont be moving in the very near future, i will be moving somewhere else in the city by next May. Should i avoid seting up a reef tank and just have a fish w/ LR setup? If i do coral it will be limited to soft coral and shrooms.. how will these fair in a move?
My other question is what LFS to you guys recomend in the city? I have been to New World on 38th and 3rd. they seem to have a good selection of fish but i was less than impressed with the staff (no offense if anynody on here is connected with that place).
Thanks guys! Ill post a pic of my progress later on.
