My new D&D 24G Nano now with some life

[rockpoolie]

A few weeks in and now with clean up crew and couple of corals - fish next but other than a perc not sure what yet. Like the small gobies but are they problem feeders?

Id love to but how can I, I dont see the browse button to add image only add image but then do I have to upload the images elsewhere first?

Maybe add an extra pump in the tank for extra water movement

I was pretty pleaseed with the rock after a lot of deliberation as to where to get it from.

There seems to be lot of movement in tank, but pic obviously doesnt capture this. Ive got a MJ1200 on RH side and a 800lph on left giving 2000lph in tank with nett capacity of 70 litres giving 28xhour. I thought 20xhr was about average?

Guess only area I was concerned about was lower reaches, did think of one of new tunze nano streams on bottom in the gap in centre of rockwork pointing up but would this be over kill. Didnt really want gear in tank, what thre smallest internal pump you can get thats worth bothering with, may be to go at back

is the LR from STM?

No I did think of STM and the mail order place up in Scotland, but then due to size of tank thought may be better to hand pick locally. Trawled (sorry) the local dealers over a couple of weeks before deciding who had best available and bought up in Tyneside (not a sponsor so dont think I can name, so pm if you want it, sont knwo if they do MO though). Its a mix of Fiji and indonesian, there load of stuff comin out on it, host of stomatella snails, tubes, macro algae growth (grape, red not sure what ), stars etc. Even one tiny anemone not manjano or aiptasia either so all in all well please. Only baddie is Ive seen is two bubble algae bubbles on back of one piece so far.

I've come across a Tunze universal mini pump (its only 120lph but so tiny) may be just the job for some bottom movement, cant find a source in uk though - anyone used one fo these before?
