I have an Oceanic 14 gal Bio Cube.
Stock:
2 small false percs that host in a small pink bubble tip.
1 small royal gramma
1 med to large cleaner shrimp
1 small feather duster
2 different pulsing xenia (both varieties started out as small stalks with less than 10 heads, now both are multi stalks with massive amounts of heads)
3x5 flat rock covered in orange zoos
1x1 ruble covered in neon green zoos
2.5x4 open brain
2 small mushrooms
1 small frogs spawn
7 tall finger leather
1x2 shell covered in green star polyps
3x3 green bubble coral
Clean up crew 8-10 hermits and 20 or so snails
fine sand sloping from 1.5 to 3.5 in back that is covered in about 1/8th of rubble (crushed coral rubble and shells) and about 16 lbs of
live rock.
I test for
nitrates and cal. I know that I should test for other things but dont as I do constant water changes (I do not have a
skimmer so I feel that I must do lots of water changes). I set up my nano the first of August. Have had some losses, I did not have a quarantine tank and introduced ick with a fish addition. Lost all my fish. All of the coral has done very well. I dose 1/8 th tsp of Kent Liquid Calcium every night along with: 1 or 2 drops of Kent
Iodine, 1 or 2 drops of Kent Strontium & Molybdenum, and 1 or 2 drops of Kent iron. I do at least a one gallon water change every week and dose 1/8 tsp of Kent essential elements after the water changes. Do you think that I am dosing correctly?
