    with proper skimmer, filtration, live rock and sands, i only change the water once every 2 months. amount change is 50%. otherwise i monitor salinity through pinpoint monitor and top up RO water when the salinity go up. there no need to change water weekly unlike freshwater. Corals, shrimps, and the ICh prone blue tang all survive happily. A UV is a must for small setup if you want your life to be easy. keep algae and ICH away. For corals, u also need to dose Zooplankton.

    Thanks for your advise.

    BTW, why are you selling away your 105L marine tank setup?

    Re: Xmant's Pico Tank

    i have 2x 105 L set up. initially plan to sell one away to do a 5 ft but decided to keep it anyway. quite a waste to let go of a new tank at deep discount so i sold the corals in one fo it and turn it into a FOWLR tank. the other remain as a reef tank

    Re: Xmant's Pico Tank

    thats a nice little nano tank, the maroon clown is a very aggresive fish and should only be kept with its own kind, the only way you can mix clowns is in a very large tank, i have been keeping marines for over 20yrs now and have learnd alot along the way, if you are not using a skimmer then make sure you do regular water changes.

    That was an Ocean Free OHF, the biggest size, that I have got for my pico tank to act as a current circulator. I have removed all the filter medias that came with it and replaced with chaeto only to absorb all the possible nitrate in the saltwater. On top of this OHF, I have DIY a lighting which made of white LED, turned on for about 3/4 of the day.

    I bought it from Y934, Aquastar. The model type is OHF2, it could be medium size. The power consumption is 5W. However as for the price, I can't recall the exact, around from $15 - $30.

    Re: Xmant's Pico Tank

    Your cleaner shrimp is getting too big for your tank. once the maroon clown gets bigger, it will bully the other fishes. Your yellow-tail fishes are alos aggressive in nature, and now each occupying a corner so no fighting. After they all get bigger, situation will be worse.
