    Help with setting up a 20L nano reef for the first time

    I would strongly recommend drilling the tank with some form of overflow and adding a 10 gallon sump. My first tank I setup was a regular 29 and I did HOB, it wasn't long before I realized I should have gone with an overflow. My 40B that was suspose to be temparary setup, I did as a HOB but...

    Welcome to the nano world! :::evil laugh::: For the ATO, if I was able to shoe horn a JBJ ATO in my BC8 I'm sure you will be able to make something work in your Max. I also just did an ATO using my RKL on my 20L. If you need a hand setting it up let me know. Did I also mention I did a DIY LED on...

    Live Rock question

    I would put the rocks in a 5 gallon bucket with fresh saltwater a heater and powerhead, wait a week and test for ammonia. If ammonia tests at 0, back to the tank, otherwise you will have to cure the rock.

    MAg 18 Enough or add TOO MANY PUMPS!!!!!!!!!!!

    If you are going to run bio pellets, it is not recomended to use phosban with them. You can starve the bacteria and not get the full benefit of the pellets. That will eliminate one reactor and less loss from your pump.

    help identify something on my hairy mushroom

    What you see in that picture is not something that is on the mushroom, but rather something inside the mushroom. That squiggly white stuff is the defensive/digestive system of the mushroom. I can't remember what that is called but Mushrooms will "spill their guts" when they feel threatened...

    question NEXTREEF reactor MR1

    You would first need to determine how much media you need for your system and then determine what size reactor you will need. My systems are small @ 40 and 65 gallons so I don't need a big reactor. I would recommend keeping the bio pellets in a separate reactor since the service live of the...
