    Mini tank crash due to heater not keeping up

    Mini tank crash due to heater not keeping up

    I keep the tank in a room that opens directly to an atrium that’s exposed to the elements. It’s very possible that room has been reaching sub 50 temperatures with the door open. I may have to move it to the living room or the a more powerful heater.

    Mini tank crash due to heater not keeping up

    The heater is set to 78 and was around 72 when I checked earlier this morning. It must’ve dropped even lower at night. I haven’t made any changes to the tank so not sure what else it could be. All the parameters are fairly stable. The tank is a ten gallon nano with an ai prime. Here are pics...

    Mini tank crash due to heater not keeping up

    I have a ten gallon nano with a 50 watt heater and it looks like the heater hasn’t been able to keep with the cold temperatures at night lately. I lost most of my sps corals. This is my first winter in the Bay Area and I thought 50 watts would be enough. Anyone had similar issues with a 50 watt...

    Looking for live rock

    I'm looking for about 10-15 lbs of live or dry rock for my nano. Does anyone have any available? Preferably near Fremont.

    I don’t have access to that forum. I already got some Chaeto though.

    Chaeto algae

    Anyone near Fremont have some Chaeto they can spare? I seem to get bad algae every time I feed my ten gallon nano.

    LFS Par Meter

    They are doing better. I recently tested my Calcium and Alkalinity and they are depleting too fast to be within an acceptable range between water changes, so I'm about to start two part dosing. I picked up some Seachem Fusion and will be manually dosing it, after testing of course :)

    LFS Par Meter

    Standard ten gallon tank measuring 20x12x8 inches. The distance from the sand bed to the surface of the water is only 9 inches, so pretty shallow. No sump, no protein skimmer, just an Aquamax 50 HOB. The light is a NanoBox Tide Plus M running the mixed reef preset NanoBox recommends. There's not...

    LFS Par Meter

    About two and a half months. I got the NanoBox just last week. Before that, I had a PAR38 bulb.

    LFS Par Meter

    I saw that. I would rather not have to wait two months to borrow one though. I recently got the Nanobox Tide for my ten gallon and need to figure out if it's enough light for the SPS corals.
