Hey guys my name is Gary and I have been in the hobby a while now but took a 2 year break after my 60 gallon reef crashed and I lost my blue tang I had had for 5 years [emoji24]. I hadn’t really done tanks to their true potential and had never properly set up a tank as I bought things of Craigslist since it was cheaper. Now that I came back to the hobby I promised myself I would not continue down that path and have decided to come back starting with a Nano. I chose the Fusion ten after seeing two Wyoming white clownfish in my LFS, one of which (Miss piggy) has a print on her eyes where she looks mad. So I bought the Nuvo ten started the cycle and put the clownfish on hold till the tank was ready.

The tank has been up and running for 9 months now and the live stock consists of two Wyoming whites, 6 snails, Xenia, Orange monti, zooanthids, and a frogspawn oh and a cleaner shrimp

I use Hanna test kits for phosphates, Alkalinity, and calcium. I done with the Red Sea reef foundation.

Calcium- 398
Alkalinity- 8.4
Phosphates- 18ppb, 0.055ppm working on lowering it


Was doing water changes of a gallon every three days but now switched to one a week. The alk was dropping drastically with the changes, goth have been the LFS I used but have since switched stores. Thanks guys and look forward to what knowledge you guys have to offer.
