I picked up this gem and am super excited about it!

I've always like the look of a little nano and am glad to get this ball rolling.

I used ~5lbs Aussie gold sand and 10 lbs rock. Added fluval bio booster and a midnight clowns fish.

The plan is a nice nem and a few chalice and zoas.

Here's a pic.

Nice. post more pictures when it starts filling up with stuff :)
 
Update!

The tank seems to be OK, the bacteria in a bottle did its job, clown is happ, and the zoa and chalice I added are doing well, gold maul zoas and a Miami hurricane chalice. Also the red Monti cap is still colored up but I'd say the lights need an upgrade.

Anyone have experience with the Reef breeders nano light?
 
Update!

Added a few chalice and zoa frags along with a frogspawn. Everything is going well for now!

Also added another turbo snail and its been going to town! Planning on a few hermits this week.

Started dosing 16 drops of each part A&B of Kent Marine nano daily, per directions. Should I pull my carbon to see more benefits of this product?

FTS to follow, stay tuned!

Using the stock light for now, when/if I run into a problem I'll probably snag a Reef breeders nano light. I've read good things.
 
Thanks guy, I've actually seen quite a difference in growth on alot of my chalices and some baby zoas.
