dkk08 Nano Marine Mangrove Tank

dkk08 · 03-10-2011, 04:38 PM

Finally! dkk08 is back into Marine after 30 months! Started my 36L Nano Space and IQ5 4 weeks back and now its time to reveal my humble simple setup.

36L Nano Space Mangrove Tank:
Decos/Equipments:
CaribSea Arag-Alive Indo-Pacific Black sand
Dum Dum Statue from Diaso
Liverocks from other reefers
Nano Mag (a great nano magnet!)
DIY Wooden airstone Skimmer with collection bottle(which is working very well, skimming fine foamy skim mate)

Flora:
12 Mangrove
Ulva sp.
Chaeto (in back compartment with 24hr LED lighting)

Fauna:
3 Hermit crabs
4 Lined Nerite Snails
Lots of amphipods or Copepods (which came from nowhere which in other words signal the "coming of age" of my tank :grin

Wish to have Livestock List:
Seahorse (most likely young barbouris, kuda or tiger tail)
Pipefish (most likely dragonface, jans or blue stripe)
Neon Goby
Red Spotted Goby
Red Striped Goby
Tailspot Blenny
Red Scooter Dragonet
Spotted Mandarin
A pair of tiny 1-2 cm captive bred Picasso clown (from a well known local breeder)

Of course the above is just a "wish to have list" so most probably I won't get all of them as 36L is just too small and too sensitive to over load the bioload with fishes.

Pictures will come later so stay tune!

Well it really depends on you. If you've the space and $ please go with a bigger tank. If you have a budget and only have the space for a nano tank perhaps a IQ5 or a 16L Nano Space is just right for you.

You can google on how some European and American folks do up their IQ5 and even IQ3. You'll be shocked!

I got mine from Hong Yang Aquarium CCK Ave Blk 306 opposite the bus interchange, but I believe a number of other Fish shops do carry this brand. Ocean Free Nano Space, comes in 3 sizes, 16L, 24L, 34L
