14g AIO Nano Build Thread

Finally got the heat stabilized. The return pump is clogged up and the heater was heating the back chamber faster than it could be pump out. I moved the heater to the main compartment and hooked up one of these:

However I am pretty sure my last surviving helfrichi is gone

Hope you find the fish. They are very nice and also pretty expensive.
Any reason you would use such an expensive standalone monitor as opposed to a controller such as an Apex or RK?

 

[cmantis]

Ha because my Neptune controller broke and I had ordered this for something else and needed it in a pinch.

Im afraid the helfrichi is probably gone but my clowns and perchlet seem ok and my 3 bubble tips are looking better.

So this morning I found my one remaining helfrichi in the back chamber of the AIO. That space is really small and packed with equipment and rubble rock. I couldn't do anything as I had to get to work however tonight I was able to rescue him. I also took at all the rubble and the return cleaned them and siphoned out the back. I wish I still had both but am relieved I found this guy in time!

Looking forward to learn more about this setup.

That's great news you found him.

RIP to my high fin perchlet. I fed his favorite today but couldn't stick around. I hope at least he got to enjoy a last meal. I found (half of) him in the overflow. He was looking a little weak the past few days and my guess is the shrimp got to him after he died and he floated up. Man Im really bummed I loved that fish

Where did u get the geometric pygmy and the Pom Pom? Can the pom pom be fed pellets or does it have to be meaty? same for the geometric

 

[cmantis]

Pygmy I ordered pm me if you want one as I am going to be getting another. He ate mysis and I think that may be why he died because with my work schedule didn't really have time and was just doing pellets. The pom pom I don't feed but to be honest I rarely see it but then again other people have reported always seeing theirs.

I woke up to my last remaining helfrichi dried up on the floor I love these fish but can't seem to figure them out. I have a top the only thing that I can think of is today was water change day and maybe I waited too long. I am really frustrated and discouraged right now. Whats weird is I woke up last night, thinking something was wrong, and turned the light on to check on everything however didn't see anything wrong and went back to bed.

I am sad to announce that this tank was broken down today. However it went to a great fellow reefer here on MR so the legacy will live on. It was a really difficult decision to part with it and right at the end was having serious second thoughts but I know it went to a good home. Custom King does excellent work and his AIO systems are just a pleasure.
