long story short last BF I treated myself to a nice new RS750XXL...so what the heck I am doing in the nano forum? that build stalled out as shortly after gettiing in tank in, my GF bought a fixer upper house 30 min. from us and not knowing what is gonna happen in my future we decided not to set up the 750...months went by reno tanking alot longer than it was supposed to. you all know the story so.
so that brings me here and now I have always loved RFA and dreamed of a build to focus on them.
after a week or more of thinking about a small couch side nano I just placed my order for a Fijicube 18.5 gal AIO
I was between the Fluval evo 13.5
IM 14/20
and the little ATO that came with the Rs750
all had there advantages and disadvantages but in the end I went with the Fiji cube peninsula love the foot print @ 24x14x13 it was the most appealing.

This build is gonna rock! with rock flowers nems that is!
I should have the tank in 4-7 days.
as of now here is the plan...
tank: fijicube 18.5 AIO
lighting: AI prime HD with 3D diffuser
heater: 100W finexx ( already have )
controller: keeping it simple just use a inkbird temp controller. but could use my Apex if it ends up being some what close to the bigger tank.
flow: I am between upgrading the stock pump to a DC one with more flow and a RFG OR go with a reefbreders reef power 260 GPH wave maker.
rock: i will use real reef rock I have a 40br wet and live that I can use. prob. use 10#
stocking: lots of inverts
I hope to have 30+ RFA as the many focus, a few mini max nems as well.
~2x pom pom crab
~fire shrimp
~2X hermit crab
~porcelain crab
~4-6 sexy shrimp ( or more if I can find a good deal)
a few feather dusters
maybe a staghorn crab?
nem. clown shrimp? these guys look cool too
fish:
yellow clown Goby
purple fire fish
green mandarin will train to frozen but will sub. with hatch BBS with a modded Paul B feeder.
Let me know what you guys think so far. not sure 3 fish is a good idea or not but I see more in ppl evo 13.5.
pics of the tank to come when I get it in.
