Decided to do a tank update - my nano reef has been running roughly a year, a little bit longer since I had to tear it down when I moved. Overall, it’s been fun still have a long ways to go before getting something bigger. I’ll update fish/coral stocking on a later post. In the meantime see below for specs and pics. Enjoy, and happy reefing.

Tank: Fluval Evo 13.5
Light: AI Prime 16HD
Wavemaker: Aqamai KPS
Return Pump: Eheim Compacton 1000
Heater: Cobalt 50 Watt w/ Neo-Stat Controller
Tunze ATO
Two intank media baskets running filter floss, Purigen, Phosguard, Biomedia.

Congratulations on your one year anniversary, tank is looking good. :)
 
What’s your AI prime schedule? I just setup a fluval sea and will be using an AI prime. Not setting it up for a bit while it cycles and to minimize the ugly stage. I’m wanting to grow soft corals and maybe some macros. Maybe a euphyllia down the road.
