nano tank

After breaking down my old setup that had been running strong for 4 years the best decision was to part ways with everything that needed life support. I kept most of my dry goods and am finally starting my first build thread. So join me on my journey or let us call it round 2 of this IM Nuvo 20s...

Hi everyone! I meant to get around to this sooner, but life has kept me busy, so now I'm finally making my build thread! I inherited this little 15-gallon (18 including the rear sump) from a friend on Halloween of last year, just under half a year ago. It was dirty with algae-infested rocks and...

I used to have a nano set up for majority of my reefing time. In August I switched to 4ft 80g lowboy. I have 3 primes over it and that has been working great! Primes can be a bit pricey though. I have like 4 spare tanks in the garage. Looking to set up a waterbox cube 20. lighting is the...

Below is a long account about jumping into a reef tank. It's rather humorous looking back. I have waited 26 years after getting my first aquarium to finally get a salt tank. 17 years of freshwater helped, but I learned more in the first 48 hours of salt than I did over several years in fresh...

Hello Everyone, So recently I bought the 22.4 Gallon Rimless Nano Tank from FijiCube off of bulk reef supply. I wanted to hear suggestions on my build and hear any thoughts and concerns. I'm very happy with this build and I'm very excited to start reefing but before I start aquascaping I want...

Hello reefers, I currently own a fluval evo 13.5(been running since June 2021) and I wanted to upgrade to a waterbox 20. If I add all my live rock, bio media and some tank water from my evo to the cube 20. Will the cube 20 still cycle/mini cycle? Thank you and happy reefing!

If you have a nano tank (for argument sake, let's say under 40 gallons), how much do you dose daily of each element? And what kinds of corals do you have? I have a 25 gallon mixed reef spread pretty evenly between LPS and softies, and will be adding a decent amount of SPS soon. Currently I dose...

First time reefer - finally got some iphone lenses to offset the 20k lights, so sharing a quick vid. Would love any advice or feedback on the tank - ideas welcome! Tank is a 4 month old Red Sea Max Nano with Tunze ATO, Trigger Systems reservoir, Tunze wavemaker, InkBird + Eheim heater, ReefLED...

Hi all! I am running a 20g Red Sea Max Nano and have 7 coral, 2 fish and 2 sh. Today when feeding I noticed a flatworm on my hammer coral. I have only seen a total of 1 - but I’m sure there are more. Tank params: Age: 4 months Ph: 8 Alk: 9.7 Nitrate: 16ppm (doing another water change this...

I have been in the fish game for about as long as I can remember. Started with cichlids when I was little, slowly evolving into keeping piranha, then got tired of massacring goldfish so moved to saltwater. Im about 2 months into my first reef tank - a Red Sea Max Nano. Absolutely loving it so...

I’m moving my nano saltwater tank to virginia with me, the only things in the tank are a couple corals and cuc. I would really like some tips as i am new to saltwater keeping and i have never attempted to transport a tank :))

Hello, I set up a 15g nano tank last week to hold two fish sent by my son (firefish and a neon goby). I used two pieces of live rock that I purchased plus a sponge from my established 45g. 50% water from established tank and 50% new water The LFS said I could put the two fish in right away...

I have seen a thread about this before but it didn't really went in depth in it. I am looking to have a 20-30 gal sump into my 60 gallon main tank and 5 gallon nano tank. My 5 gallon tank is a mixed reef with some sps, lps, and some softies and my 60 gallon tank is just a single lionfish just...

Hi all, Thanks for taking the time to view this. Firstly I have done some searching on this forum at PICO tanks and will continue to do research before committing. However... As this is my first SW tank I am open to all ideas and thoughts. I have OCD so the aesthetics need to be minimal, for...

Hey all, If you don’t know me my name is John and this is going to be my build thread for my Innovative Marine 25 Gallon Lagoon Tank. I am going for a more natural reef under white lights, and am going to be adding macroalgae and some other soft corals overtime. Anyways here is the specs on the...

Moving this to new account

Hello everyone. Will be doing some more updates here on this thread over the next 8 months. This is my first tank and I have done some decent research ahead of time. Mistakes have been made already and I will go into that as time progresses. For now I’m looking for some input on my live rock...

Hi Everyone, So I thought I would start a build thread. I used to have freshwater tanks as a kid, then life happened. I always wanted to get a saltwater tank and I have been doing quite a bit of research for the past year or so. On Father's Day my 3 kids surprised me with a Waterbox 20. My...
