deeb's Nano Extreme-Shallow Reef Tank Build (45x24x16 centimetre)

[deeb]

soon(TM), i bought more corals...!! and some Chromis viridis, 3! I thought they would thrive in my tank, even with the high flow rate.

yas... look much better than the bare bottom.. calm and nice

adjusting Nero 5 for better flow was the hardest part of keeping SPS in shallow reef, i basically tried not to make any direct flow toward corals.

That looks awesome! I hope I am as successful as you when I finally get my evo going 13.5 gallon I might take some ideas of yours and use it with my build.

SPS is quite the challenge in such low volume, your current tank is very nice

 

[Gernader]

Awesome tank! I recently got interested in SPS and can’t wait to add them in my tank!

thank you. i have some rules which i obey to whatsoever, hope this helps.

one, i never put my bare hand to the tank, i use nitrile gloves if needed

two, i use nothing chemical in my reef room(no tobacco, no aerozol, nothing)

three, i have very deep sand bed in refugium, filled with KZ aragonite for pH stability and few more reasons.

four, i use RODI water for whatever i use

i think chemi control is very important, especially for the pico/nano reef.

it was hard, not every SPS thrived. i somewhat think current tank to be more stable.

Awesome tank! I recently got interested in SPS and can’t wait to add them in my tank!

(2018 christmas)

just dropping few more pics for those who liked mine
thank you

this one was teal color when i first brought this Acropora milepora, but he slowly changed it's coloration to green
which made me sad, but i guess that was because of irons in my tank.

 

[deeb]

i gave myself some x-mas gift, including Kamoer doser and component 123

just a pic of my reef, i lost one clam around this time.
also, two or three Acropora 's skin were pilling off so i sent some for cure to other local reefer.

just a pic in an angle i like

favorite angle 2

i ordered customized ATO reservoir for RODI water.

it's very small, i know
but i thought this would be enough lol at that time

it has four roll-to-lock, and actually looks super cool, has little hole for hose and elec lines.

i installed it to the backside of the tank but i removed it after few weeks as soon as i got tired of filling the reservoir every 10 hours! i then used black BRUTE bucket as RODI water reservoir.

 

[deeb]

i then bought three yellow clown gobies, Gobiodon okinawae, and three sexy shrimps, Thor amboinensis, because they were super cute and i knew only few things about them. (now i know that i should know well about whatever i bring and that i should make any reef-decision on whim)

very cute ( and i finally learned how to resize the pics in R2R!!!!)

wow it's very convenient to adjust photo size here! love it!

very adorable.. but you must know what they can do! (or what they actually eat!!)

cute little sexy shrimps

shaking things and being cute

same as above just pics for those who like it!
