lyrical Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 I saw these tanks at Coburg Aqauarium in Victoria today and they are so cute they had smallish fish in them and one of them was like a micro marine tank which l fell in love with.I'd really love one of these but l'll have to save my bickies they are $125 each. But l'd love a micro marine tank they had living rocks in it and a star fish and a clown fish. The tank is called "Dymax IQ3 acrylic nano aquarium" here is a link to an english magazine article about them.

melbournebetta Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) Hey Lyrical, I got one of these tanks around 6 months ago... I found the current on the filter waaaaaaaaaaaaay too strong for my little halfmoon betta male. I had noticed some georgous little clown fish in the Nano Cbube displays struggling to fight the strong current at the Cobourg Aquarium While I had already dropped around $125 on the tank, I wanted to see if I could modify it to work comfortably for betta, and have since put a subtle black sponge (around 3 cms sq) and just cable tied it to the outlet. I now have a little female in there- and notice she occasionally finds it a bit overwhelming with the intake and she gets sucked over to that side of the tank. So I now let it operate on a timer for 5 x 20 mins throughout the day - the tank stays clean, and she's not fighting an impossible current. Note that due to the size of the tank, you'd still need to do weekly / fortnightly (if I'm lazy) water changes to eliminate nitrate / ammonia build up. Good little tanks tho, I'm a fan.

cammackey Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 If you pull out the pump from the tank, there is an adjustment to turn down the flow..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbites Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 They look great but..... I'm too cheap to buy one For that money I can get enough glass offcuts to build 4 x 3ft tanks = more fish But if I had the money to spend on one - would look great on my desk at work..... maybe its time to start saving.....
