From my intro post.
Hey all - my name is Keith and I have had a reef tank off and on since I was 14 y/o (I’ll be 43 in April).
I took down my last nano probably 5-6 years ago.
Well, I’m getting back into the game and have a Ref Sea Max Nano being delivered on Tuesday.
Getting back into it I’m amazed how fast this hobby evolves.
Anyway, been busy with a hammer, chisel and drill today. Here is what I’m thinking about for the scape (Life rock).
Looking to isolate GSP on the left circle and mostly LPS on the right structure with zoas and ricorida near / on the substrate.
As far as fish are concerned probably just a couple of clowns and a goby and pistol shrimp.
Cheers!
____________
Tank has been wet for 24 hours.
20 lbs of Arag Alive and Carib Sea Life Rock. Went with Nutri - Seawater for startup water and Fritz 900 turbo start. Lights have been out and will remain out besides snapping these pics.
I’m used to cycling the old fashion way by throwing in a dead shrimp and waiting and waiting and waiting for nature to take its course. The bottle of Fritz has me a little on edge but I’ve done a bunch of research and it seems to really speed things up.
I had been building out my scape and of course, it just did not look good. Actually looked horrible in the tank.
So on day #2, I redid the scape , hence the coudy water.
Really liking this and feel it should give me enough surface area for what I am looking to accomplish.
Will post updates as they are warranted.
The angled view from the photo is sitting at my desk. This is going to make long conference calls soooo much better. Not sure what took me so long to get back in the game.
