Blazin's 12g NanoCube

[BlazinNano]

Alright......

So I was out of the hobby for about 5-ish years. Did the normal stuff, got married, had a kid, you know grownup stuff. Well the wife has always know about my old aquariums but she also knows I have an obsessive personality. Well I finally convicted to let me have another reef tank, but it had to be small and I had to keep it on the cheaper side. So here it is.

Used 12 Gallon NanoCube, scratched a little but it was free
LED fixture off Amazon
Upgrade stock return pump
Inkbird heating and cooling controller, heater and single fan hooked to it.
autotopoff.com Nano ATO
Using smart outlets as timers and to control return pump for feeding. Also have an alarm if return pump turns off my phone goes off so I know if there is a problem when I am not home.
9lbs of live rock

2 misbar ocellaris
RBTA
Some zoa frags to start

I am doing my best to go slow but we all know that is hard.

"Cheaper side" lol

Don't ever show your wife the prices of all the corals you end up getting....

Jokes aside, welcome back to the hobby!!

Getting a little Jebao SW2 tomorrow and trying to figure out if I should go under the overflow or opposite side of the return blowing across the front the front of the rocks?

Will post update FTS tomorrow, as I changed the rockwork.

Changed the rocks around. Everything seems to be happy. Wish my Nem would move as it stayed put even when i moved the rocks. It loves the flow, the clowns not so much. I ordered a coral lens for my phone just to see how it works.

So I got my cheap cell phone camera lenses in today.

Just a cheap little kit off Amazon. It came with a polarized lens that I want to try out at the lake and see if it actually works
