Hey fellow reefers!
I wanted to shortly introduce me and my tank to the community.

I'm Adrian (18 yrs) from Hannover, Germany and got my nano reef running since 3 months
 
Welcome! What size nano do you have? Stock? Would love to see pictures, I'm getting ready to move from an 8 gallon to a 30 gallon.
 
Here are some pics:
First cycling (8 gallon dennerle, zetlight led, eheim skim)

I started right away with some Montipora plates.
Dule to a drop of Mg and a lack of flow my red colony died right away.
But now i'm dosing Mg and Sodium/Potassium Carbonate.
And added another pump.

Astralium calcar, Trochus sp.(died becaus of a suicide climb into the pump),Cypraea annulus and Pylopaguropsis speciosa (the hermits you can see below)
