23G nano reef with closed loop

[tiagoandrade]

Hi, this is my 23 gallon nank reef.
Im using an closed loop and overflow and return are in the corners.

Closed loop inlet and outlet in the same 50mm diameter pipe. The cap with holes is the inlet of the sistem and i put other 25mm diameter pipe inside to make the pump's outlet.

This tank is 7 moths old.

Thaks.

My sump system is very simple.

Hello! I made some pictures of my reef before i build it.
I want to show you how it works.

In the pic above, we can see three corners connected by one channel. Its the overflow system.
One of the corners are the return of sump.

In center, i have one closed loop system. I did it with two functions in the same hole in glass.

One 25mm pipe are inside the 50mm pipe, connected in the outlet of the pump. The inlet of the pump are connected to an curve and take the aquarium water.

In other angle:

Tks.

Very cool setup A pair of clowns would be good in there

 

[tiagoandrade]

I have one tomato clown. I think in one sixline wrasse or gobies like yellow okinawae, wachman, neon goby ..

 

[Desmond]

The sixline can be agressive at ties so i am not so sure about it. Goby would be a great edition to that tank . Also you could maybe consider a Royal gramma very cool fish.

You may get some ideas for fish on here

Firefish could be another nice one but they can be jumpers so you would have to keep this in mind.

Tanks, Desmond. I'll do it.

Sorry for opening up an old thread, but I am fascinated by your plumbing design! How did this work out long term?
