nano 13

See attached a picture of my tank, but with a horrible brown algae outbreak. First sign was about ten days ago, tank has been set up for a little under two months. Should I just leave it and let my tank get overgrown, or should I remove it/get a clean up crew to eat it? Want to get into growing...

Howdy! I'm here to share my new experience with the saltwater aquarium hobby :) I got involved with freshwater aquariums a while back and recently made my transition to saltwater. Currently using a 13.5 Fluval Evo to get familiar with saltwater without having a huge commitment. I think...

Hi I am new to the forum and this is my first build by myself (mostly my husband butt in a little ). So I had decided to build this tank as my husband has left the country to go to school so I wanted something that would challenge me and something that I enjoyed. I have dabbled in saltwater...

****most recent FTS**** September 22, 2022 ***End Update*** I’m starting my first tank in 6+ years and my 3rd ever reef tank. The goal with this one is to build a streamline (hence the AIO), attractive nano reef in the condo I share with my fiancée who has never been involved with a reef...

Hello, Long time lurker here. I've had freshwater tanks in the past, and helped take care of a couple reefs and salt tanks as well.Never my own though. As the title says I am setting up a Fluval Evo 13.5, and I am looking for a little advice on sand, rock, and stocking it. Below is what I...

After having lurked on several forums for over five years I finally got an amazing deal on a tank I should have bit the bullet on a long time ago. The plan is to have a pretty simple fish only tank at first until I upgrade the lights. Eventually I know I’m going to get coral. I’m not expecting a...

I am moving on Feb 26th (relocating for work about 50 miles), movers are coming packing and picking up all of my belongings. I don't get the keys to my new place until March 1st, leaving me without options to store my nano reef tank for 3 days. 1. I've never had to move a reef tank; any...

Needing some confirmation that this is bubble algae; the bubbles are dark, leaving me wondering if it’s something else. I am treating the tank with vibrant, once per week. No changes since starting 4 weeks ago. Last water test results: Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate 0 Phosphates 0.25 ppm Calcium 400...

Some of you may have seen my post about a month ago on wanting to grow bubble algae as my moms Christmas present. Well I did it, and this is the build thread for that tank...

Hello all, wanted to post some progress photos. Finally got everything so I could start building. This is my first time doing a nano and so far its alot of fun. I used Marco Rocks because I wanted to try something different and plan on making this a no hitchiker/no ich tank. Say what you will...

I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations on why my LPS and zoas are showing very slow growth. I have a Fluval Evo with an AI prime light. I just got Seifert tests in the mail today to test all my levels. I am currently dosing 2 part 1.25ml of B Ionic 2 part. This tank has been running...

Decided to do a tank update - my nano reef has been running roughly a year, a little bit longer since I had to tear it down when I moved. Overall, it’s been fun still have a long ways to go before getting something bigger. I’ll update fish/coral stocking on a later post. In the meantime see...

Welcome to the Jungle, I caught your attention right? Well, I live in Manhattan, so this is my Jungle, and during this time of working from home and boredom, I decided to start my journey. My little niece got bored with her 5G freshwater tank, and I decided to take it and put some plants and...
