nano

Hey Reefers! I'm a newbie, but learning more every day. I'm just running a nano currently, and I was just curious if the salt I'm running is working against me trying to stabilize my parameters. Because I'm running a nano, larger % water changes happen, which is good for removing the excessive...

So I am doing another project. And planning carefully and mainly all custom. I want to move away from AIO's but stick with nano size. Looking at available sumps on the market, they just don't fit the bill. Without giving too much details to spoil the future build. Its a 7G custom tank with...

Hi all, I'm creating this thread to track my tank's progress. It was set up in November 2023 and is my first saltwater tank! I will make some more posts with pictures and more details. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! By the way, videos on my posts don't show up on Safari if you...

I have the 13.5 fluval evo. I have 2 DC powerheads that don't have a "stock" backup option (slw-10's). I am trying to figure out the best solution to getting gas transfer in the tank during a power outage, and everyone talks about backing up a powerhead. In the case of my nano, I'm using a sicce...

Hey Reefers! I am reconstructing my aquascape & hoping for your opinion on what direction to head in. For context, this is a 13.5g nano. I intend to keep a mixed reef with a couple fish. Space for coral is the priority for me, but also aesthetics. Keep in mind, scape 1 was my completed...

Hey everyone! Just added a new 15g IM nano to the absurdly large and continually growing salt and fresh tank collection! Anyone have a similar-sized tank with a cool reef aquascape for a variety of corals? I'd love to check out some pics! And, it might be a long shot, but I was curious to see if...

Please have a look at my custom reef protein-skimmer and sump i designed. I want to know if there would be anything you would change. I am not an expert and want to build a cheap but good quality nano reef tank. I would love to have some opinions on this. I had a good amount of fresh water...

Since they’re doing so spectacularly well in my larger tank I am hatching a plan. I’m looking to start a smaller tank (probably 18g) that will be dedicated to one or two Gonis! I’ll also add 1 or 2 small fish, CUC, and a couple of other odds and ends. Stand by for photos and progress reports as...

Hello everyone! I posted here really recently about my 3.5 gallon tank. However, I realized that I am moving very soon and am going to swap it for a 10 gallon aquarium. Currently, I only have three snails (a Nassarius, Astrae, and a Nerite(?). I was going to try and add a Sea Urchin but I...

Hello everyone! I run some snail-only tanks that recently got some sneaky bristleworms [discussed here]. I was told that they are all good and will help keep the tank clean, but I am stilled worried about accidentally overpopulating them. Up until now, I would just put some powdered spirlina in...

Looking for something that will work with the 30th Anniversary Eshopps 4.9gal Deskmate. I love this tiny tank but have yet to locate an LED that was not 9-12" above the tank. I'm looking for a lower-powered one, maybe an older AI Sol or Kessil A80. My challenge is finding one that will fit...

Hi team! I’m wondering what you all think the best fish is/are for a 20 gallon frag/growout tank? I’m probably going to go bare bottom and minimal rock - just enough to cycle. Bonus points if it’s aquacultured.

Should I be worried? I’ve had my tank -cycled and running for about 18 months now and just two or so weeks ago.. I began to notice this growth. (I also haven’t added anything new in months, so why now?) The color is neat, but I’m worried it’s a pest to take over if I’m not careful!

Hello, I would like to know some recommendations you guys might have for my nano tank. It’s 16”L 12”W and 15”T. I’m looking to grow a rock flower anemone and some softies.

Red Sea Max NANO 20g reef system WITH stand. Been up and running with no issues for almost two years. Unfortunately, have to move 1000 miles away and can't bring the set up with me. Has served me well and now want to find a new home for it. Happy to work out the logistics to include the clown...
