Let’s see your nano sps tank setups.

amazing colors. What’s your setup on the bio cube?

Just regular BioCube filtration in the back, with Kalk Drip. Popped the top off, and hung a ATI 6X24w over it.

Wow, no skimmer or reactor?

I have tonsssss more pics but this was a 2g 8"x 8" cube I had running for about 2 years,crammed with over 30+ sps frags. Just a AC50 with carbon,weekly 1g wc's,feed amino's 2 times a week.

This was the light,2x NanoBox 11up's (8 royal blue,4 regular blue,2 cyan,4 neutral 4 warm whites) and 3 430 violets and 3 410 violets.

I did have a small skimmer, but seldom ran it. I was doing weekly WC about 50% so was never really necessary.

Man my hat is off to you. Huge fan of your tank. I’m reading through your build now.

That’s really cool, do you have any full tank shots?

Thank you. It was a fun couple of years with that tank. I'd like to do another SPS nano down the road, when I have the time.

You can really learn a lot from running a small system.

No skimmer? And what is your routine?

Thanks

Fully loaded no,I do not. I think I may have 1 before it was packed.

I have this one:

And I did have this tank which was semi sps:

There’s a Tunze DOC 9004 skimmer in there. Plus a small fuge and a live rock rubble section.

I do a water change about once a month. Tank is controlled by an apex and light with an ATI Powermodule. Dose the aqua forest 3 component system with a GHL doser. I have an ATF that feeds three times a day plus 1-2 cubes of frozen mysis per day. Also dose nitrates with the GHL. For some reason my nutrients are real low in this tank despite frequent feedings and 10 small fish.

What glue you use to hold corals like that?

I’ve always used loctite super glue gel and 2 part epoxy but nearly everything started as small frags and grew into those sizes.
