Nano from odds and ends?
I have the following things laying around the house:
20g aquarium Aquaclear 500 Aquaclear 300 Ebojagr heater ?wattage 2 x 20 watts NO lighting Maxijet 900 powerhead I have also purchased used a 24" 65W cf strip light for next to nothing. Can I make a decent nano out of this for a beginners tank? I want to keep some easy soft corals and maybe a pair of clowns. I am not interested in spending much more money and maybe I can pick up some used live rock fairly cheap. |

Yes I believe you can, use the aquarium, the AQ 500 with a bunch of live rock rubble in it and keep the flow down. The other power heads will be good for keeping that chaotic water movement and the CF light will do well. You'll need white (my choice) aragonite gravel and of course some live rock. I think that should be a nice nano.

Thanks.
I will do it, it will be my experiment tank, if it goes OK then I will get a proper tank later, if it is a flop I won't be out too much money. What kind of clip-on pc light do you mean for the refugium? |

There are a number of them but Azoo makes one that would work well.

Sounds good to me. There is some doubt as to the AC being large enough to be effective for growing enough algae to do much good. In addition the Caulerpas may cause more problems that do any good. It might be wiser to spend 20 bucks, and get that small CC skimmer made by Coralife. It fits nicely in an AC 200, so the 500 would be even better.
