Have a 12 gal jbj nanocube. seems to have cycled and we just put in some cleaner crew.
i recognize the difficulties in maintaining a smaller tank, but my wife has become quite attached to it (the whole cute thing i'm guessing)
so what i'm wondering, is what can i do to maximize water quality? the pivoting lid doesnt lend itself to a skimmer and i really dont want to get into a sump for such a small tank.
theres apparently a way to create a DIY surface skimmer from an old fashioned cassette box. but will the surface skimming really help?
i've got phos ex and carbon in the back half of the tank.
i wont let her heavily stock it but would like to keep it as tight as possible ....primarily because i'm anal. figure i can use it as a quarantine tank
chase
