What else do you guys think I can upgrade?

I’ve got my 3-D printed filtration chambers, bio media, chaeto refugium + refugium light, a Kessil A360 on top, upgraded return pump, wave maker and an auto top off.

My next step is to get a custom acrylic lid and then maybe a dosing pump but is a dosing system really necessary for this small of a tank?

I’m dosing all for Reef through my ATO. So far my trace elements have been pretty consistent.

Any and all advice is greatly appreciated thanks guys!

I have the same tank, up and running for about 2 years. All I do is add Pods/Phyto and weekly water changes. I have 2 clowns, shrimp, zoas, 5 or 6 head duncan, gsp, toad stool.
 
I dose esv 2 part in my im15.
A4R would be easy to setup for a nano. I plan on using it on my ext112 I just ordered.
Only 1 pump instead of 2.
I run floss, carbon and 20% wc 2× a month.
2 fish 40+ coral, snails, and a few crabs.

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
