New nano build thread for 2022.
I have had this tank and stand for 6 months now and use the stand for my frag systems electrical.
Tank- used Aquatop AIO 18" cube.
Around 20g's total before
rock, baskets, coral.
Stand Aquatop
Return pump Sicci 1.5
Lighting AI Prime 16hd
3 basket system
Bottom 2 ehiem substrate pro glass sintered balls.
Top 1 for carbon, gfo, floss, ect.
In tank flow 1 ow25 to start.
16hd 8" off the surface for 2-300 par in a 12" growth area.
I purchased another 16hd and will be running two now.
Not sure yet on setting and height.
I have some live rock in my frag sump and will take one piece out of the frag systems display.
No sand going bare bottom with lots of flow.
No skimmer.
Actual tank inside dims are
17×14x16. So my 12x12 dim for the rockwork will give 2" clearance on the front amd 2.5" on each side.
I will run my parameters the same as my other 2 systems and will use water from them to startup the Nano.
Salt IO regular
Temp 77
Sg 1.0265- .027
Alk 8
Ca 420
Mag 1350
K 410
Po4<.1
No3< 5
WC 2g's every 2 weeks, depending on nutrient levels
ESV 2 part
DSR EZ Trace
Tunze nano ato
The stags will be from my 120 and frag system.
Surf & Turf
Green slimer
Blue Matrix
Blue slimer
Purple slimer
Dark green stag
Light green wild stag
Going to try and locate a red colored stag.
I want to keep this all stags maybe 1 or 2 other acros but their is not much room in a nano.
Fish - unknown at this time.
Snails a few shrimp.
Waiting on Sicci pump.
Still need to order 16hd hanger and Tunze ato.
Couple pics to start.
