MAASTers, I need your guidance.

What additives if any are you adding and what is it for please?

Currently I'm adding Fuel for Reefs twice a week --> http://www.amazon.com/Seachem-7541-AquaVitro-Fuel-11-8oz/dp/B001NTL37Q

Thanks

I wouldn't worry about dosing a tank that small, just do weekly water changes 3-5 gallons. that's all i did when I had my biocubes, also look into better lights. how big are your temp swings from its lowest at night till hottest when lights on.

I dose my current tank because I have a high demand for calcium with all the sps I have, also because nutrients are used up quickly and it would be too much trouble to change 30g a week.

Ok, got it.

Temp range is between 76 and 78.

I wouldn't mind spending money for better lighting system only if it is usable on a larger tank later.

Anyone have pics of their modified Nano lighting? I assume you had to remove the Nano top completely.

I didn't take mine off..... Back when I had my aquapod..

Just replaced each PC one at a time and replaced them with a ecoxotic panorama led strip.... Finished with 3 strips and a tru lumen led strip for the moon lights....

I was pleased with the light..... Doing it one at time was good cause it wasn't a huge upfront cost..

Those allow you to put anything in your tank from LPS, SPS, etc? Can you send me a link of the ones you purchased?

Thanks

Never really tried SPS.....

But everything else did fine.... Plus the new models are more powerful...
