GlassMan's 17 Nano Countertop Reef

Ok, slow day at work and....i found all the online New Years Sales haha

So below is a list of the corals I would like to start with (click to make big)...from what I read they are all compatible as far as tank parameters and I have places to put them all so no battles break out.
*only concern: is that too much coral to dump in my tank this soon and at once, should I do it 2 or 3 pieces at a time or can I put 10 frags in at the same time....???
Mainly trying to save money I can get enough coral to be happy for a good while at a really good price but I would hate for it to die off cause I jumped the gun.

update: not ordering all the coral, decide it was in the best interest of the the little guys to wait and take it slow to minimize loss of life. LOL we all get excited sometimes

I am going to put the 2 fish and shrimp in Monday and then take sometime to get my parameters stable and figure out my dosing and all that good stuff.

the process sounds great so far. When you get your fish and shrimp in, get a pic for us

Got some better pics, My 3 little buddies are all in and eating and home making lol
So far everything is running pretty stable, all parameters at 0ppm and around 3ppm of Nitrates which is ok cause I want Zoas hehe.

Might see about adding some coral in a few week!s After I have more time to test Alk,Calc,Mag and get my dosing down.

Started to have a small Dino bloom but cut the UVs on my XR15 down by a lot and that stopped it in it's tracks.

Pic note: the 2nd to last pic just shows my favorite angle of the end of my reef, it so looks like a dinosaurs's head of sorts

Hi Glassman!

It is looking good. I actually live in the Western NC mountains. I am thinking about starting me a 10-gallon reef tank with no fish and corals only. I am going to try and find a place, which I know of one about 30 minutes from where I live, and pick out some neat live rock once I start it. Is yours live rock?
