question about a nano tank

hi all.

i now have a 18"(L)x11"(D)x16"(H) tank and
want to set up as a nano tank.(no fish)

i have some puzzles and want you all advise

1. i have on list the following creatures and wonder whether they are all compatible:
i: 醫生蝦/火燄蝦/葵蝦/樂隊蝦
ii 紫點葵/奶嘴葵/公主葵
iii 忸紋草/偍子草/羽毛草
iv 管虫
v 海馬
vi 天線goby
vii 葵蟹

since i dont want to have another chiller,
no coral is on list.
(ca200 is working for 280L FOT already)

temperature is expected to be 30/31C.
does it work?

2. is live rock necessary for keeping the above creatures? (some hobbists suggested using volcanic rock instead. i ve no idea about volcanic rock)

3. i visited amazon last week and saw some sorts of sand(fine size and cost >$2xx for each pack).
is it a good idea using such kind of sand or
using those $10/pack in fishstreet?

4. a protein skimmer seems to be a need (to play safe) for such a "mini" tank.
i consider an high priced (say, Prizm $680) or
a low-end(say, $35 AA) is good enough.

please advice.
thanks a lot.

蟹會食草架.....
我以前玩個16吋缸都玩左年幾....水溫變化好大...所以如果要玩葵呢...就可能會難少少....同埋好難搵d咁細既葵架.......個陣我買左隻好似好細咁既葵...一放到落缸...先知原來個缸真係咁細......B)B)
我個陣就冇用火山石...但係就用千層石...不過覺得唔好用...因為好難用佢地砌到好多窿比d魚蝦蟹...
個人黎講覺得sugar size 唔好用....除非你玩珊瑚同養好少魚, 而且想用dsb...如果唔係d魚一郁你成缸就沙塵滾滾...如果你仲想用個prizm....d水咁急咁撞落個沙底.......你個缸有排都唔會清:O):O):O)
我覺得細缸呢....就咁用一個桶...勁小小既...出水口用d有窿窿既管....咁就可以順便做埋水流....連潛水泵都唔駛用...hehe...我而家個20"缸都係咁:D:D:D

如果係密封式套裝缸的話，水溫將會是個極大的問題。３０度以上的話，紫點葵/奶嘴葵/公主葵會謝老四，忸紋草/偍子草/羽毛草多數會溶…如果無頂蓋，就可以用風扇減低水溫，大約３—５度。
volcanic rock

如果係水草造景用的火山石，可在臭豆腐店隔離的水X店買，放在門口的發泡膠箱裡，或在發X魚買ADA出產的，但好貴。:P:P個人意見係買生物石好似好D，一來平，二來在葵缸感覺自然D。
amazon last week and saw some sorts of sand(fine size and cost >$2xx for each pack)

哩D就係傳說中的sugar size 囉！通常都用係dsb處，但Nano缸砂床表面積有限，我諗都係唔係咁適合…但如果想觀察天線goby 和槍蝦的共生現象，有砂床就比較過癮…:D:)
Prizm $680

我諗有四佰蚊去左個樣度:P:P你依家個FOT用緊乜野skimmer先？不如買個正D同原先FOT果個交換用。

Posted by: khong Posted on: 2002-08-14 14:40 I did a bit of research on seahorse (from www.reefcentral.com seahorse forum and www.seahorse.org). All experience keepers recommed keeping seahorse in a seahorse only tank and definitely to be avoided keeping with any anemone ( 葵).
