29 gallon nano build thread

[Kimberely]

I realized I'd never made a build thread for my nano so here goes...
Standard 29 gallon tank
1 AI Prime HD and 1 AI Prime 16HD running Saxby preset on both
No skimmer, no sump
HOB mechanical filtration
Icekap 1K gyre

Livestock: a large female mocha ocellaris and her man
2" sixline

Corals: green striped actinodiscus
Long polyp toadstool
Maxi mini
9 RFA
ORA orange zoas
Whamm'n watermelon zoas

Set up in April 2019 using live live rock and live sand from my old 125 gallon when I downsized

I love your tank and corals! What type of HOB and what type of media are you currently running?

Thank you. It's a Marineland Penguin 200. I'm using quilt batting and a bag of carbon and that's it.

Quilt batting does make excellent filter floss and using it is probably one of my favorite tips. I love that you've kept it simple and have a thriving reef. Kudos to you!
