| I just have a recomendation that you put in a nano section.., I dont know how many nano-reefer's are members but I think at least for me it would be a good reference to turn to..., there is nano-reef.com which has a pretty good forum and nice people, but it would be nice to get advice or input from locals on how their nano's are doing. |

I know this was suggested before but the club didn't see enough interest in it to have a new forum. But maybe that has changed. I'm listening. Adam ------------- Come to a meeting, they�re fun! |

My vote is to not have a section specific to tank size. Different types and sizes of tanks require different filtration, water flow, lighting etc. If there is a question, just ask it. Many of us have nano's and would love to answer. ------------- Susan Matney Farmington, UT |

From my point of view, the needs of algae, invertebrates and fish in a small tank are so similar to those of a tank 100 times larger, doing a separate section doesn't seem relevant.
Being one of the early revolutionary nano hobbyists(1997) to have a stand alone 10 gal reef tank in a sunny window, later expanded to a three tier reef->predatory fish->unlit sponge refugium system, I'd say it's really all the same in principle. The principles are: water quality and movement, filtration type and capacity, light spectrum and intensity, feeding type, amount and quantity. (later the predatory fish tank was exchanged for a fragging tank with surge circulation.  )------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member
