So I’ve been keeping my current tank for over 2.5 years. I’ve had some major ups and downs for sure, and currently rebooting this little nano. If you’re interested below is my most up-to-date thread. You can see where it has come from to a current look. Well below is a current look but you get the idea.
Anyway I’m not sure this is the right forum or not. If not, mods will you please move. Lately I feel my tank is missing something. I’m wanting this little tank to be nice and full eventually and I understand it will take time. So trust me I’m not looking for a quick fix. What I am looking for is a coral suggestion for the upper portion of my rockwork. The gorgs just don’t look right there and they have been moved behind the candy cane coral colony. I had a Duncan up there but it has closed up and decided not to open again for almost two weeks now. So I have no idea what’s going on with it.
I’m looking for something with “height” to fill in some space at the top of the tank. My eyes tell me birdsnest, but my brain says “no man you don’t wanna deal with that”. See I don’t want to chase numbers, or dose. Ideally I would prefer just to do water changes and let it be. I also feel like my tank wouldn’t have enough flow for those SPS as I’m not running a powerhead, just an upgraded pump and spinstream nozzle.
I also want to stay away from anemones. Something about them give me anxiety. Afraid they will walk and sting everything.
I love euphyllia but have been burned before. Loosing all my torches to BJD. Something says a nice torch colony up top might look great but what could I put on the sides that wouldn’t get stung. I just feel like moving the two hammers up top and filling out below them. Favias, zoas, something else?
Argh..... the trials and tribulations of a nano tank.
So what say you? What would you do and why? Lay it out and give me some ideas/encouragement. I love this hobby but just stuck with this moment in time with my tank.
AIO Build - tehSAC's NUVO 10
Hello, my name is Paul and this is an early start to my NUVO 10 build. I say early because my tank is still sitting in its box waiting for my stand to be finished. Anyway let's start with a bit of a backstory. For almost a year now I've been doing my homework and reading about anything and...
