Nano-Reef Q&A! Checked Daily!

hey, jmitchel
I just got a 14 gallon nano cube and im getting live rock tomorow (thur) and i was wondering when i should add corals. I have heard right when u start the tank to one of the last things to add so if you could get me a number of weeks i should wait that would be great. Thanks

Many different nano systems out there. Which one should be left alone and which one is a good deal. I was looking at the Aquapod 24Gal. What do you think?

One thing that i can add to this is get the delux and stay away from jbj i think it is there glass has problems sometimes so better to be safe other than that they are mostly the same.

Did you get the Aquapod system. What is the difference with the deluxe kit?

Deluxe allows you to have more corlas and better corlas stronger lights in coral=happier corlas

I havent had a digital camera in a while, but right now, I have a 3g Pico, a 12g aquapod, a 20gL, and a 40g Angler Tank for salt. I'll look for an old video of my aquapod! brb!

Got any pics of your angler? What species is it?

Is that the one with the metal hylide bulb. If so, I guess I won't have that one. Thats too much money for me. What did you guys do before metal hylide bulbs. The flourscent bulbs cant handle it.
