Death to clean water


I came into work today and my filter died on my eclipse 6. My nano is a 6 gal. Any suggestions on a replacement. I have 2 true percs, mythrix crab, lta, pulsing xenia, and some button polyps.

Presuming that you have live rock (10 lbs +) in the system you should be ok, but you probably want to introduce some flow with a small powerhead. Additionally a whisper or aquaclear hang on tank filter is an option (not sure if it will fit on an eclipse though).

Of course, you may want to see if eclipse has replacement parts as well.

I do have some live rock. I have never really weighted it. It might be 2lbs of live rock. I do have a 2 " sand bed. I just wanted to find out what other people are using on there nano tanks.

It should be noted that this tank is on a desk at work and water changes are not a frequent option. While live rock is good for biological filtration we still need to address getting the crap out.
