Hello everyone. Im new to saltwater, but i do have a few freshwater tanks. I tried posting a build thread, but it just vanished. I assume its just awaiting approval since im new here. Im aware nanos arent best for noobs, but im familiar with maintaining water parameters so i thought id give it a go.

But anyways, i got a whole ocean of whacky ideas.

*Recirculating co2 scrubber for my Fluval Ps2 skimmer? And or oxygen generator attachment?

*Using DIY dry rock mix to cover an under gravel filters intake tubes for a more natural look.

*making chamber 3 in my Fluval evo 13.5 a mini K1 media reactor by putting a cover plate over the return pump.

Just some of my first week in the saltwater hobby ideas. Too bad i dont have a lottery jackpots worth of money to put all these ideas to the test.

But anyway, let me know what you think! Good luck, and i hope all your tanks flourish! ♡
