Re: Corner Tank

[mrfootball70]

if you use enuff live rock..you may not the canister, except for some mechanical filtration..full spectrum and blue actinic lighting..and you should be all set..and corner tanks are real cool looking..fell in luv with one at my lfs..good luck  ;D

[mrfootball70]

i guess the live rock likes its best..but i do beleive as long as you've got good full spectrum, it may not be necessary

[mrfootball70]

oh yeah..a skimmer may help too

Are you going fish only..or reef style?

[Bettaman shane]

sounds great saltwater tanks look so amazing and with a corner tank it will be even better ;D

[ryanp15]

Corner tanks are awsome and so are saltwater tanks so your gonna have one of the coolest tanks of all! Why didn't you put this in the salwater section?

Simply put corner tanks s u c k for reef. They are hard to light. You should not start out trying to do a reef tank, regardless of fresh experience. Your reef tank will crash, and you'll be disappointed when a few hundred $ of livestock dies. Also never ever cut corners on a reef tank, it always will cost you more in the long run. Sterilizer is a big no on a reef and is debateable on a fish only tank. Canisters, fluidized bed filters and wet drys are all nitrate factories.

Couldn't hey use metal halide or pc lighting? That is simple enough.

I used pourous rock under the live. Worked perfect and they became live. After a year or so it was hard to tell which was which.

What is wrong with a UV? ???

[clothahump]

Barb, what is PC lighting,halide I know, Mercury vapour I know, but PC????
I have had along talk with some one who has 4 reefs set up and he has assured me it is no problem to set up, just needs good management. 8)
