My little piece of Ocean

[DariusThomad]

Good morning all!
My little piece of the ocean is found in my nano nano tank... the fluval evo 52l tank that brought me into the hobby!
I’ve had it up and running for just over a year and it’s helped me massively with learning how to reef. Biggest thing I’ve learned is how unbalanced a 52l tank is and I’ve learned to work around it!
My newest addition to the hobby is a 3x2x2 sumped tmc signature tank... stunning tank that’s ready to be set up! being held back due to money but I’m buying parts monthly and slowly putting it together! The journey has been absolutely amazing so far- here’s some pictures of the nano tank I own!

I’ve also attached a couple photos of the tank I have purchased (without any stock shown)

Very nice setup! I love the little tanks but I am afraid...

I was sceptical at first, it seems like at first you are chasing numbers, but it does balance out on its own, it just doesn’t take much to throw it out of balance, eg- over feeding, first feed, nitrates increase quickly, alk/ calcium goes down quickly etc. Water changes definitely keep in in perfect order!

Haha see, that is my first fault! I do like to feed my fish. I am all about water changes though...40 to 50 gal every week...if I am lazy I will do 2 weeks!

Haha, between you and I! I love to feed my fish and I hate doing water changes as I use NSW and collecting it isn’t fun! I let my tank go as long as possible until I MUST WC... my tanks got algae issues and I have a chamber being a refuge but it’s slow going due to how tiny the tanks back chambers are! I would definitely say get one personally, even if it’s a pair of clowns, waiting for balance then a nem tank or whatever you want after the tank is in equilibrium
