My New Biotope!

[Because Yes]

So I filled 9 days ago my nano 55L actual water volume , starting biome cycle, bacter added, full dry rocks with mature live rock ruble in back chamber, copepods and phyto added and I started phytoplankton culture to keep dosing, for next month dark start :) Goal for this aquarium is to make natural Reef with algae, macro algae, softies and diverse microorganism i dont want sterile sps. Hopefully momic experience of diving in red sea.

Equipement:
Hannah digital salinity chrcker
Atman pump
Eheim 150w heater
Jecod dmp10 wavemaker
VCA random flow generatior
Aquamedic cold control + Aquamedic fan
Chihiros aquascape algae scrubber
Aquaforest Reef salt
Aquafores bio sand
Aquaforest biofill
Arka special blend bacteria
Wverything conected to some smart power extension to control from google home
Rocks glued by DD gray epoxy
Ecotech radion xr15 G5 Pro with 3d printed shade
Jecod or jebao smarto ATO
BLACKED OUT, Media reactor full of rock rumble

Update:

- Cleaned glass from powdery cover formed on glass probably due to unceaned sand
- Dosing daily 10ml live phyto from my reactor
- copepods population is growing like crazy
- Added Cryptic reactor made from old aquamedic media reactor but blacked out to prevent any light in and changed pump for smaller one for low flow, awaiting my own design cryptic reactor sample from china to replace it.
-Still dosing Arka Special Blend acording to tbe bottle
- so far so good 20 days before lights on :)

Sounds like a great project. I’m a big fan of cryptic. My sump is free of light. I added cryptic sponges and stuff years ago. Some weird stuff grows in there.
