Nano owners help me out....

I think what works great for teens and adult fish isn't working for a juvie. They are much more fragile. You didn't mention what your husbandry was like..... please indulge us (and i'm not talking about whisking the kids and wife off for snow in Waco LOL!).

Thanks for all the replies. It's really nice to view an array of "what worked for me" responses.

Yes, Justin, I think you nailed it. The juvies seem to be much more fragile versus the hardy teen or adult.

I'm thinking my large water changes is what did them in the first time around. That and the temp swings. I did not have a heater on the tank and still need to pick one up this weekend. This time I will keep the heater around 74 and only run the 10k lights until the temp hits 76 and do most of my lighting with just actinics. This should keep the swing down.

With that said....depending on how I feel when I get them, I still might send them directly to the main display.

But, Bill's post did give me some hope again....especially since his system was pretty much the same with the same livestock I intend to keep minus the anemone.
