[Patman]

Will be documenting the progress of my "boujee" nano build, the goal of this build is to create an easy to maintain small volume system to house sps and a zoa garden.

Equipment:
Fiji Cube 10 gallon AIO (Love the space of this AIO and the weir system pulling from the top and bottom)
Custom Cabinet
2x AI Prime HD (One fixed mount, one flex mount)
Hydor Koralia Smart Wave Pump
2x Hydor Koralia Nano 240gph (Wavemaker and Powerheads are the same price as Nero3 prefer the dependability of AC)
JBJ Nano ATO
Aqueon Frameless Cube 3gal (ATO reservoir)
Bayite Temperature Controller
Cobalt Neotherm 75W Heater
Red Sea ReefDose (On reserve list, Fingers Crossed)
Red Sea Red-Yellow Tube Kit.
Dosing containers undecided custom or DIY

Tank is Cycled with Brightwell Live Rock Kit. Middle chamber is Marinepure Biospheres to make up surface area lost to sandbed. Filtration is simply filter floss and rox carbon as needed. Waiting on a few pieces of equipment to get delivered and the stand. Have about 40 frags that I've been holding in my main tank to move over while I wait. Will upddate tomorrow.

Stand is here, going to be a busy weekend for me hope to get everything put together and mounted. Got almost all the coral moved over, will have to move the tank when the stand is done so nothing is glued down at the moment.

2 Prime’s over a 10G? Seems a bit much lol

Definitely a little overkill, but 2 kill the shadowing and discoing plus I want good growth on the back wall and rock sides.

Yeah I feel ya there, the PAR distribution is definitely a bit strange for this light.

Finally some updates! The paint took FOREVER to cure, gotta love Iowa humidity. I'm only waiting on one dosing pump to finish the equipment, should be here Monday. Cabinet is finally coming a long can't wait to finish!

 

[Patman]

Picked up just over 20 new frags from a local reefer, couldn't be happier with the health and size.

I'm taking a long break after this one haha, it's been far more tedious than I had planned for.

Dang that looks so clean. Mine looks messy in comparison and I thought I did a good job.
Is the stand from Fijicube? what's the iPad for?

The stand is a bathroom sink vanity from the local home improvement store that I customized. The pad controls the on off for the return pump, the lights, the nero 3, and the dosing pumps.

Tomorrow is the big day, a little nervous to move everything the tank is a little crowded at the moment. One last pic in its temporary location.

Good luck!

 

[Patman]

Everyone is a little annoyed by the move, but overall happy and no issues. Love the way it came out.
