New Fluval Edge 6 Gallon Need Advice On Aquascape With Pics

sreeftav · 02/14/2012, 10:01 PM

Hey everyone, I'm new here. I'm just getting back into this after getting into it way to fast about 4 years ago. I decided to get a Fluval Edge 6 II. I'm currently using the stock filter but instead of the carbon I'm running Chemi-Pure Elite. In the tank I have set up a Hydor Nano (which I plan to add one more), Hydor 25w heater, 1.5 inch live sand bed and about 8 lbs of live rock. I was hoping you could tell me if I might run into problems in the future with this live rock set up. Is there going to be a lot of trapped dead debris? Or will this be okay as long as I have good flow?

Also, anyone know if these LEDs are any good and if not what I can do to add some more lighting. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Pulit. Do you or anyone know how these stock LEDs are in terms of keeping corals. Mainly softies. Any recommendations or advice?

i dont think softies need alot of light so im sure the stock led's will be fine, imo . asfar as advice , buy corals that will glow under those lights . i wish i did and had to rip a bunch of corals out to get nicer ones in there . small tanks fill fast lol .. water conditions swing fast in small tanks so keep up on it
