My new 24g nanocube (1 Viewer)

[kyletc]

Today I traded a fluval 405 for a nano!! I'm going to do this tank instead of my 46g bowfront.
1. I plan on having a pair of true percs.
2. I also am tempted to get a goby/pistol shrimp pair.
3. I want it to be Sps dominate, with either a long tenicle anemone or a Sherman rbta!
Now help for equipment.
What kind of lighting should I use?, how much flow do I need?
Best rock, I plan on using brs shelf tonga.
Can you point me in the right direction here? Thanks
-Kyle

For SPS I would probably use a 150w MH clip on maybe a viper or coralife. Thats what I would use

150w Halide pendant and a vortech mp10

+1!

Though MH on a 24g is likely going to warrant a chiller. You can also look into LED fixtures like the AI Sol or EcoTech Radion. Both are overkill for a 24g, but they are dimmable so you can adjust to suit your needs.

I had a coralife 150w halide on the 34g red sea max an the temp stayed 80-81 but the room was always around 78 with sps you need stable temp an parameters an with only 24g you may want to go with 1 fish

SPS dominant it will not be with Anenome in that small of a tank. the anenome will more then likely kill everything moving around in the little tank. The biggest problem is trying to keep it stable (parameters) with such a small thank.

i plan on having a pair of clowns for the fish part, and i dont even have half the amount of money for a radion lol. im looking for a chiller and vortec right now im trying to earn the monet in advance though...do any of yall have any old equipment yall are willing to sell??

 

[fightmeaboutit]

Doubt you will need a chiller I would buy a light an see how the temp is before investing in one

 

[kyletc]

ok, i might be getting a mh pendent very soon.
anyone with any cheap vortecs????

Kyletc, Sorry you cant use this thread to post your stuffs FS.
Edited your thread.

I think you should become a paid member and start sell your used stuffs. You will get your $30 membership back by sell your used stuffs anyway.

 

[kyletc]

I plan on doing that here very soon, thanks for the heads up mike

Congrats on the nano tank!!! its a blast to have. I would contact GabeJ about the vortech as he is a direct dealer for them. I am sure he can get you a great deal.
