Diana's 15gal Nano Reef

[DianaD]

IM Nuvo 15 with:
-ATO
-IM Desktop UV
-PreCycled Bio Media
-Chemipure Elite
-IM Spinstream on the return
-Upgraded to IM Mighty Jet 326 return pump
-Kessil A 160 Tuna Blue

-Scape built from cured liverock. The BRS videos were really helpful

-Two clowns, Pablo Picasso (he's not a picasso clown) and Dora Maar.

-5 dwarf blue and scarlett legged hermit crabs. Two small emerald crabs.

I used the cured live rock, the pre cycled media and live sand to speed the cycle. I also put filter floss on top of the UV sponge thingy to add some mechanical filtration.

I'd like a MiniQ Nano Skimmer; I did ask "Santa". I'm wondering if a small nero 3 wavemaker/powerhead would help with flow and circulation.

I'd like to add one or two more fish, maybe a watchman goby/shrimp and something else...a small wrasse maybe?

I'm going to restrict myself to slowly adding soft corals and sps when the tank is ready. I don't want no anemone shenanigans, so I'd like a coral the clowns will maybe host.


Any tips, comments or advice?

Love the tank! I’ve had a few Nero’s and they are one of the best small power head in my opinion!
