It's not about sequel movie..he.he.. :D :D , but just fullfiilled @ntony sugesstion to me, ok.. here we go..
the topic is about my new nano AQ, about three weeks ago I made a new AQ, a nano AQ (40 X20X20) volume about 20 L I guess, because I saw at nano AQ section in this forum..wow.. how beautiful they're, so I interested to make it one..and I put it in my living room, because my larger AQ placed at the outdoor, for the gravel I used red pearl ceramic, some kind of bio ceramic and kuartz sand, thick about 3 cm, I pick it up from my larger AQ so I think is already mature ( about the bacteria ) at least that what I guess.. I filled water sea, also from my old AQ, so I didn't wait the cycling, I put some coral such as cynaryna, button polip,star polip, mushroom, hammer coral , brain coral, buble tip anemone and some fish indeed, royal dotyback, red spot phanter, 2 blue devil, and marroon clownfish.. oh ya.. I add one "pelet" shrimp too, all creatures is small size of 'em, is that overcrowded ??
For the filtration I use waterfall filtration hang on at the edge of the AQ with zeovit, carbon active and sponge inside, is it enough ?? should I use small protein skimmer ?
For the lighting, I use 2 t5 NO 8 W day light and actinic blue
at the top of hood Aq, I add 1 cooling fan, so the pavouration is fast.. I have to add at least 1 L fresh water everyday
water parameter now : PH 8.2, Nitrit 0.3 , temp 25-28
feeding : mysis shrimp for the fish and coral feeding drip
it's running for almost three weeks and still just fine.. I hope it's always will,o. .ya, water changing every week about 20 %
so.. what do u think guys..?? c'mon tell me about it OK.. salam
PS : I'll take pictures and try to post it later

Overcrowded i think. Maybe you can solve the problem by water changing. But,will not it change the parameter of water fluctuatively? Also,u dont have any ps.
You have to show us some pics. Cmon hehe... :D

The sand i used to gravel is azoo quartz sand blue & white, and "koi food" is red pearl ceramic just like I mentioned above, zeovit I add at chamber of filtration as much as it can fix in it, beside sponge ofcourse... and water fow ( if u mean that) is 400 l/hr, and 200 l/hr.. I used 2 pump, thanx for asking but anyway... is anyone have experience with red pearl ceramic ..it seems quite rare to use.. isn't it... :D :D

Oopss...U've got me.. :oops: :oops: , I'm sorry, what I mean is zeolith rock, I was wrong from the beginning and gave a wrong clue.. I'm so.. so.. sorry, thanx for the correction.. :oops: :oops: and back to topic about fitration at my AQ, in fact I just use mechanical filtration and hoping bioliogical filtration from my "pearl". is it enough or just wait to go to disaster, what should I do ??

My tool kits is just 4 PH, No2 and alkalinity. just like I wrote before.. nothing else, and water parameter now seems not quite different, but maybe Po4 increased, because I saw some brown colony started appeared at my aq's corner
it's the picture under actinic

Yeah.. I think so.. I ever heard about that, but I rather count on my "pearl" for this case.. anyway..I plan to change zeolith with rowaphos at that chamber, what do u think ??
 
wow... you really has a beautiful tank there...
but.. i think i don't like the sand that you use.... just like a normal fresh water aqua.... :D
it's better a white sand :D :D :D
by the way.. i like the coral
