As I mentioned in my introductory post, I am in the process of setting up my first saltwater tank which will be a 25 gallon nano with a 14 gallon cube sump. I have been slowly collecting the parts on sale or used since November. I almost have everything I need so I am now starting to put everything together. Below are some pictures (assuming I manage to upload them properly)
The tank is an aqua fire 25 gallon starfire rimless with a matching stand which is a knockoff of ADA stands. I got the combo at a nice discount. The rock is liferock brand dry rock that I was able to get on sale for half price - they have not been scaped yet and I don’t think I’ll be using all. The tank is for freshwater so I added an eshopps nano hob overflow box. The decorations are there since initially I plan to go Fowler and my daughter is super excited about decorating it. The light is a current USA marine loop with the matching mounting arm. The arm allows attaching a second light when I am ready for corals
The cabinet has a eshopps nano cube sump I got used for a great deal from a very nice local guy. I also have an acrylic reservoir in there. I plan to set up automatic water changes just because I like engineering challenges.
I’ll go over each item in more detail over the next few weeks as I set them up.
Your comments are always welcome and appreciated.
