My tank is 15" deep, so similar to yours. Were you using two current USA light bars the whole time? Or did you use 1 like me at any point for your corals?
I had one to start, then I added a second one later.

Look at a midas Blenny! They do good in smaller tanks and are great fish to watchReally don't know yet. I do want clownfish, but I understand they are territorial so I'll probably leave them till the last - at least in freshwater I found that more aggressive fish tend to be less problematic if all other inhabitants have settled in first. I was thinking of a pair of pyjama cardinals to start with and maybe a goby or a firefish and finally a pair of clowns. I suspect at that point I'd be maxed out in a nano like this. If anyone has suggestions, I'd welcome it
thanks. I guess when time comes I’ll skip the second one and go to something stronger.I had one to start, then I added a second one later.
Thanks. I’ll check them out.Look at a midas Blenny! They do good in smaller tanks and are great fish to watch
Thanks. I’ll have to make sure it is seafood sauceLooks fine to me!
You can't do much with RO tubing, if you shorten them too much then it puts stress on the connectors and could over time cause leaks or kinks.
If you're worried people will wonder why it looks like a mess of spaghetti, pour sauce over it. I can almost guaranteed no one will ask about the hoses! ;Smuggrin
Thanks. That’s what I was hoping to hear. I wanted to make sure I got it right the second try with the lights and it looks like I have a keeper. Even my wife commented that it is really cute, which is important since the tank is in the living room.Youll love this light. I have multiples and they grow Everything !
Agree 100%! You can find lightly used AI lights all the time in the Market Place here. I was going to add a suggestion that if you don't have water parameter test kits then that should be high on the next purchase list. I think the Hanna's are fantastic and you can also find those used on the Market Place - just be aware that part of the price of "new" testers are the reagents, so value used ones that don't have reagents accordingly. They are easily sourced from BRS and other places.That's a nice little tank!
You may find though, that the Current USA lights are underpowered. They're great for the visual aspect, but even with a second one, you won't have the required light for anything more than the most basic low light corals.
For a tank that size I think and AI Prime HD would be just the thing.
Clownfish are beautiful but they are complete jerks - especially within their own kind. They are damsels. Adding them all at the same time, the same size and last is the best advice I can give. If you do add newbies later try to add larger specimens. They all have their own personalities and some take the jerk factor to the extreme. I have had to take some back to LFS they were such complete jerks.Really don't know yet.
