So I decided to move some of my overflower to my dorm room in a small 5g Fluvel AIO :D

Tank is getting a bit dirty so this weekend ill be picking up some snails and possibly a shrimp. The acan and duncan are new to the tank and were added last night. My main DT has to much flow for the duncan which was causing it to not open. The rainbow acan colony is about 4 inches across but im dealing with a very high nitrite problem in my DT and for some reason its really bugging this acan so I decided to move it to the pico which it seems to be slowly opening up more.

I'm trying to add corals weekly to the tank just to change things up. Currently I'm doing a 20% weekly water change and have the lights set to a max of 30%

For lighting im using the Current USA Orbit LED strip. Flow is just the default pump and for the overflow I modified it by closing off the bottom hole and the holes inside the back to allow for better flower that forces water to go all the way through the filter and carbon in the back.

Week 4...
