Nice looking tank. Which protein skimmer do you have on it and do you like it?

Do you clean your tank once a week?

MrBuBBy222 - 12 years ago

I love your tank

MrBuBBy222 - 12 years ago

Did everything come with the tank ( not talking about fish/ coral etc.)

how many hour do you run your light, it's stock?

idkwhyimdoingthis997 - 12 years ago

If you can I would suggest starting as large as you can afford to. This sounds strange but if the tank is larger then you will have more time to react if water quality changes. Also it is more cost effective to start large because if you start small inevitably you will want to go larger. Nanos are great, i'm not bashing them. If you go to your local fish store they can hook you up with everything you need. besides nano cubes and the such generally have poor build quality, start with a 30 breeder

what kind of protein skimmer are you using?

cbranin45 - 12 years ago

I had 60 gallon reef tank. If you are thinking of getting one, don't do it. Only mother nature can obtain a reef tank. When the coral is dieing, you give it meds, which kill the fish, and the medicines for the fish, kill the coral. and you get an assload of problems in your tank, that everything starts to die, that's what happens to me and I felt so bad. I cried. So I suggest only to get a marine tank only!!!

Nice assortment. What's your dosing schedule?

ChampNike - 12 years ago

Wow! What a nice tank! How is your star fish doing? I have a 14G Biocube and want to add one!

AndHaunted - 12 years ago

How are those in terms of ambient noise and heat? By noise I mean the sound of the machinery.

southern cali reefer - 12 years ago

whats the on off switch in the canopy?

Mike Reyes - 12 years ago

Beautiful tank!!!

Brian Neathery - 13 years ago

This is only after a month? I talked with a guy at the local fish store today and he said it would be a long time before you can even put corals in let alone let it grow out like that. How did you get it so pretty is such a short amount of time?

BBQ Sandwich - 13 years ago

Did you "add in" water sounds or is this thing loud as hell??? Sounds like a bath tub splashing around. I would tolerate that for 3 seconds.

DRU623 - 13 years ago

Your fish look very happy

really nice i thinking of geting one like yours

TimeSplittersChimp - 13 years ago

Hey guys, I am just looking for some advice. I have always kept Reptiles and I am very good at it, But I have always really wanted a Marine tank. They just amaze me and I can watch for hours but they have put me off in the past mainly because they seem very hard to keep and maintain. Is there any tanks you can buy that come basically with ALL equipment built in, so in theory everything is already set up, and made allot easer for you, I would like this size of small nano tank to start me off.

lex rios - 13 years ago

what kind of lighting do you have?5000k 13w? canyou please let me know

lex rios - 13 years ago

out of all the nano setups on youtube this one is really the best!!

BAJA'S REEF - 13 years ago

Very Nice Min reef! I really like it! Good job.

1989jimbob - 13 years ago

serious tank! would you consider getting a second clown fish? a pair might really add to the tank?

gaelic8 - 13 years ago

how much roughly would a set up like that cost?? thanks

steverino75 - 13 years ago

Hi, Whats the name of the coral that the clown is hosting with please? Cheers

Hey this is a very nice tank! Love all the inhabitants that you have. Can you tell me what kind of anemone that is at the bottom of your aquarium right by the red mushrooms the looks like green grass?

jaime ballesteros - 13 years ago

hey paolo how u doing? well i just wanted to say thanks for the help when i started my 12 g nano cube and now i was able to post a video of it so if u can check it out and let me know wat u think. thanks

Austin Carnes - 13 years ago

Do you have problems with your anemone moving around your tank and stinging your other corals? I'm actually about to downgrade from my 30 gallon to a 12 gallon nanocube (not really a downgrade, just going down in size) and I was hoping to put one in for my true perc clowns. beautiful tank by the way!

Sandy Petropoulos - 13 years ago

jaime ballesteros - 13 years ago

how often do u change the air stone in the bio cube skimmer?

scimmiardo - 13 years ago

Ciao Paolo, bella vasca. Come hai fatto a far posizionare l'anemone senza che finisse in pompe o bruciasse tutto?

jaime ballesteros - 14 years ago

@paolo333333 WD40. take the lid off and spray the inside of the fan nano cubes are dust collectors and often freeze up. So try that out if not just buy a new one I think they are 20 dollars or so

Joe Nocella - 14 years ago

@paolo333333 Thanks Paolo. I started my tank this week. I bought an Oceanic 14. So far it is doing OK with live sand and live rock. I will be buying some coral. Have you purchased any coral on-line? I'm thinking about it. The local shops here in NY are very expensive.

Fisharecool11 - 14 years ago

Hahaha I'm getting this tank, and my first name is Paolo (I use my second name) hahaha

mopikozz - 14 years ago

Hi Paolo, are u using the stock lights? or did u do any upgrades to it? I have the 12DX too, i was wondering if the stock lights are sufficient for roughly the type of corals that you are stocking.

Joe Nocella - 14 years ago

Beautiful tank! I'm thinking of starting one up. What would be the ballpark cost to set it up similar to yours? minus the fish and tank coast. I'm curious as to how much the live rocks, sand, etc... are. Thanks
