12gal Nanocube reef build
« on: May 11, 2011, 16:14:03 »
This is my 12 day old (rock/sand added 4/29/2011) JBJ12.  Equipment currently consists of....

OG JBJ12 w/ DIY LED retrofit
MaxJet 900 return w/ Flo
Hydor Pico 600 w/ Flo
Hydor Theo 50w heater
Generic titanium grounding plug

14lbs Premium Aquatics "Nano" live rock (cured, shipped ground - 1 day zone)
~5lbs Southdown sand
5lbs Premium Aquatics Live sand

  I ended up with about 2x more live rock then I was expecting. The pieces were very light. Not much life on them that I could see except for one rock completely covered in Porites.  I've seen a few pods and a couple feather/tube worms, but not much else, yet.  I'll may end up removing 1/3 to 1/2 the rock, but I figured it can't hurt to let it cycle.  Diatoms showed up on May 6 (1 week in) and seem to be on their way out now (May 11).



More as it happens...

Very nice little setup. Really liking the aqua-scape.

Good to hear your taking it slow :)

"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow."   < K >
