Hi fellow aquarists,
I finally broke the bank on a nano setup, 15 gallon Innovative Marine All-In-One
I have always used Seachem Hang-On-Back filters with lots of success. I finally abandoned the HOB life (surprisingly saddening) and stepped my game up.
I bought those Hanna Instruments chemreaders, for phosphate and nitrate
- Fluval MiniSkimmer
- AI Nero3
- (2) AI Blade lights (Coral Grow models)
- Stock Return Pump that came with the tank (130gph I think, I can't remember)
- 10% water changes once-twice a week
Live stock
(2) zoa colony rocks
1 piece of quality live rock, 2 pieces of dry rock
(2) Longfin Mocha Storm oscellaris from Sustainable Aquatics shipped from Tennessee, shipped to my retail guy here ( https://sustainableaquatics.com/ )
(8) Trochus snails
(12) nassarius snails (overkill? I just love them..)
(1) small, mild-tempered peppermint shrimp
(2) small aztec-y looking hermits
Just added a baseball sized Black Widow BTA and a small Colorado Sunburst-y looking BTA, I forget what the "flavor" was at the store, but whatever, regardless it is a beauty of a green/orange/red BTA, about the size of a golf ball.
Just looking for connections if I ever run into any concerns. I'm not adding anything at all probably for the rest of the year. It has been running since January, no problems so far.
When will the clowns start messing around with the anemones? They are both hiding in awkward spots, probably just adjusting to a new tank I hope? Sucks when you buy awesome nems then they just hide on you

Staten Island, NY (moving to Cape Cod, MA in a few weeks (active duty Coast Guard) and I am breaking down the tank and it is all coming with me, going to be very frustrating but not my first rodeo with a breakdown..)
