Looking great. I have three reef tanks and my basic office tank with internal filters is often the one I get the most enjoyment out of.

My office tank is basically just frags from my other tanks but I spend more time looking at it than my other tanks.

Added the 30 watt nicrew light and some sand to the tank

Nice aquascape. Need to drop your water level a bit; your light mount is in the water.

Im probably just going to mount it to shelf above the tank its all plastic as well so shouldnt harm anything

 

[Fredinva]

it appears the light mount is backwards. should not the tightening screws be on the outside of tank. can it be reversed??

If i put the light the other way there would be metal in the water instead of the plastic side

Tank going strong

Figured out the light stayed on for a few days and bleached the mushroom but everything is doing better after fixing that. Started dosing nitrates and phosohates since there is no nutrients in the tank.

Tank still going strong and just keeps going strong with the zoas

Cool update, its nice to see nature taking it’s course. Clearly a well maintained tank. I like the scape too and the gsp on the back wall. Awesome nano! I wouldn’t get any work done with that there lol

Had to move the 5 gallon today all was good till the last little push and the tank cracked. the light bracket bounced to much and cracked the side of the tank. sucked out water as fast as possible and put everything into a 5 gallon bucket. Got a new to me 10 gallon from a friend so now the tank is a 10.
