Jwhann's 15 gallon Nano Reef

[jwhann6]

So I've been a member of R2R for awhile now, but never got around to creating a tank thread. Maybe I was scared, but I figured that I wanted a place to keep a journal of my tanks progression. My set up it unorthodox in ways, but I want to share it in hopes that it might help someone else.

So here's what I have:

15 gallon glass aquarium
24" Reefbreeder LED light
HOB filter in which I run Chemipure Blue and purigen
2 hydor powerheads (180gph, 240gph)
75w marineland heater
(ato coming soon)

*no sump, no skimmer (crazy right?!)
(I'm a 10% weekly water change type of guy)

Livestock:
1 - blue-green chromis
1 - Indo hammer/frogspawn hybrid coral
1 - Indo hammer coral
1 - Green birdnest
Some green and purple zoas (not exactly sure of their going name atm)
~12lbs of dry rock and 10lbs of live sand
3 Astrea Snails


I'll include some pictures as well, but here's to the start of my tank thread.

Forgot to include, that the tank has been running for about 14 months.

Update: Finally was able to find a nice yellow clown goby! He's been in the tank for about a week now, eating and warming up to my chromis. Here are a few pics..
