12 Gallon nano cube?

I will be getting a 12 gallon Deluxe nano cube for christmas. I want to set up a small reef for my apartment. I have have tanks surrounded by the past for saltwater that be bigger a 55 gallon and 30 gallon. But I am looking for he best way to do it next to out taking up a lot of room storing brackish or having to stir get R/O wet. I was thinking of using hose that Petco sells. Its pre mixed saltwater that comes contained by 5 gallon boxes. Just was thinking of using that bring I dont have much room within the apartment. Has anyone used this stuff before. Also what are opinion for corals I can use with the lighting that the reservoir comes with. Any info on setting this cistern up would be great Thanks!!


Answers:    I haven't used that water intuitively, but I have hear good things in the region of it and it sounds like exactly what you want. Of course it is more expensive than making it up yourself so you compensate for the convenience.

With that lighting you can do zoos, mushrooms, green star polyps, and lps easily. I suggest staying away from leathers due to size limitations and distinctly stay away from clams and sps due to light limitations.

Use almost 15 pounds of liverock and take out the spounge and bioballs from the posterior. Upgrade the pump to a mini-jet 606 to produce less steam and for more flow. Also get a surface skimmer if the cistern doesn't already come with one. I have an idea that the newer ones do come with one.

The sponge and bio ball are great areas for aerobic bacteria to grow. This germs breaks down ammonia and nitrite. They don't, however, provide the correct environment for anaerobic bacteria that breaks down nitrates to grow so what you terminate up with is the sponge and bio ball out-competing the liverock for ammonia and nitrite and getting excess amounts of nitrate. By taking the sponge and bio balls out, you are allowing the liverock to inherently balance the container.
