Flipear's Fluval Chi 5 gallon Pico Reef

[Flipear]

I haven't had a tank set up for 2 years due to moving away to college, but when my university was getting rid of this Fuval Chi I jumped on it.

My plan is to add a Rose Bubble-tip Anemone to start and then go from there.

Very cool tank! Looking forward to following along!

I got a Fluval Sea Nano for my Birthday and then after my family brought me some of my old aquarium stuff I got it set up today.

Here are some pictures of it as it sits right now:

I plan on adding the RBT Anemonein about a week since all of the rock has been soaking in the sump of one of my university's tanks for a few months now.

Are you going to leave the rock against the glass long term?

Yeah that was the plan.

Tonight I added a rose bubble tip and a few citrons. It looks like the bubble tip is settling right in. The third picture is only 5 minutes after I added it.

Added in a margarita snail, a green clown goby, and an emerald crab. I plan on doing a water change tomorrow so I'll upload some more pictures then.

You uploaded the crab pic twice!

I am doing the exact same thing, a bit different, but still using a Fluval chi here is a pick of it

Dang it, and of course I can't find the picture I took of the gobie.

Here is the best pic I could get of it today seeing as it is now hiding after the water change. Had to use flash to even get the camera to even pick him up.

I did a 50% water change mostly to get in the habit but to also clean up a little detritus. There is a little bit of diatomaceous on the rock but other that the tank seems to be doing very well.

Here are some pictures after the water change with everything hiding and quite ticked off at me.

That's awesome do you have a build thread of your tank? How long had it been set up for?

Also I can't get the goby to eat so if anyone has any suggestions that would be great. Current plan is to try some rehydrate freeze dried brine shrimp tomorrow.
