The goal is to share my experience with a nano tank with the rest of you and also to keep track of my tank as it progress. Equipment: Bio cube 14 gallon with stand Korela nano Replaced stock pump with maxijet 900 Rapid led 12 les retro kit ( im thinking of buying the 6 led actinic supplements since I think the color is a little too white) Auto top off to keep salinity levels Fish: Percula clownfish Strawberry dottyback Yellow watchman goby Corals: I'll need some help IDing everything but it's a mixed reef some sps, Lps, zoas softies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motti June 30, 2012 Author Share June 30, 2012 Haven't updated this thread since i created it. Since the last update, i had a pretty bad algea outbreak, followed up by a chemical war between 2 sps colonies which left one dead and the other half dead. After all of that, when I moved in the end of february I have last the rest of the SPS most of the fish, shrimps and some other little frags. Since then everything has been getting a little better.

BubbleHead November 30, 2012 Share November 30, 2012 What is the best way to control the water levels in the chambers so I can add a skimmer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad November 30, 2012 Share November 30, 2012 I'd add an auto top off system (some sort of small pump, controller that senses water level to turn on or shut off the pump, plumbing, and a small water holding tank). This should keep your water level consistent enough for a skimmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Ivers December 1, 2012 Share December 1, 2012 I have a biocube 14 in my dorm at school and I can tell you that the avast nano ATO bracket will fit in the 3rd chamber (where the water level will drop). It keeps the water level within 1/2" which is super tight tolerance. As for a skimmer, I would check out the gnome glass skimmers, they're super cool and will fit in the second chamber of the BC14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHSublime December 28, 2012 Share December 28, 2012 Cool little nano, an insparation to other 14 gallons. I look forward to seeing your progress, keep us posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motti January 11, 2013 Author Share January 11, 2013 I used to have the ATo system that BRF sells. I ended up selling that nano few months back, and I am currently own a red sea max 34, might open a thread for it down the road, pretty much moved everything that survived to the new tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
