Difficult. Really difficult.
I got a 6 litre Dymax IQ3 tank at seaview recently. I am thinking to start marine fish and coral in that nano tank.
Do you all think it is possible and how should I start about doing it?
Let me hear you expert opinions!! Thanks.
Tank 1: Hailea F60 - 590mm/335mm/490mm, 60L tank, 24W Fluorescent Dual Light (Blue & White). Internal fitler HL-BT400 filter - 380 L/H, 6.3x turnover rate, power 7W, max jet 0.9m. 1xDriftwood, 2 bunches of Java Fern, 2 bunches of Java Moss, 6 cardinal tetras (RIP), 7 Pearl Scale & 1 RIP, 2 black spotted sucker. Tank 2: Dymax IQ3 - 220mm/170mm/220mm ~8.22 Litres built in filtration (200-300 L/H; 5W), acrylic build and LED (1.6W) overhead light, ANS Planta Soil made in Japan, some bunch of plants.

Google nano reef tank... I believe there's an entire forum dedicated to it...
Reason for it? Let me understand more.Originally Posted by fongalv

What I meant was theres an entire forum dedicated to nano reef tanks, though yours is more like "pico"? There should be lots of useful information there!
Because very very difficult to maintain water parameters
Btw, look at your signature.. Looks like your water in your tank VERY stagnant..
380hours/L heeheehee

Bro, his tank only 60L. More than enough.Because very very difficult to maintain water parameters

By the way TS, not impossible, but please spare a thought for the livestocks, it would hard to maintain parameters, not to mention would be too damm small for the livestocks. Is it worthwhile of they keep dying and you have to keep changing?
Benjamin, please see carefully, it's written 380 hours per litre, meaning in 380 hours it only moves 1 litre. I am just jokingly telling him that it's written wrongly.

Good observation Zack
See my setup: http://www.aquaticquotient.com/forum...ico-tank-setup

I recently helped my friend setup a IQ3 tank with some rocks, sand and 2 common clownfish. That's all you can put inside. Maybe a few corals like zoas and Green star Polyps but honestly the dymax robot LED is totally crap. If you are planning to keep some corals inside you'll have to get a better light set! As I'm currently working my IQ3 as a mini zoa frag tank.
clownfish is definitely not suitable for 6L!
i feel sad for the fishes in IQ3 and IQ5, please just keep tetra and some plants
Their bioload isn't that much anyway, with moderate feeding they will as long as you can keep them
What is the optimal number of tetras, shrimps and snails you all would recommend for not overcrowding then? BTW, IQ3 is 8L.

3 shrimps (crystal red size, not yamato), 3 tetra and one horned nerite.
Thanks for your info.
Regarding the horned nerite snails that can be kept, what other type of small snails you would recommend in my community tank?
Do also let me understand why is the horned snails recommended?
Thanks bro.

Horned nerite eat the toughest algae- Green spot algae. plus their horn and stripes makes them nice ornaments in tank. dont keep much snails so i only know a few species. the rest that i know are all quite big. basically you want to get a snail that is small, doesnt reproduce endlessly and is a slow eater. so your plants are safe. i am thinking of getting the Fluval Chi tank in seaview. so you got your IQ3 at seaview too right? did you get the bundle that comes with the lid?
I will source for horned nerite then. Any good shop for me to get one? I remember 328 did not sell right?
What good abt fluval tank? Mind to share?
I got my IQ3 for $79 before 15% discount. It includes the lid as well. Think it cost $60 after discount.

328 do sell, i got mine from there, i think polyart also have. they are located on the same row as 328. around $2 each
not sure what good, just that it is more stylo and branded i guess. planning to use it as a decorative item on my dining table
I think polyart is the fish shop that opens 24 hours right? I actually not sure which is 328. LoL.
