I've been pretty lazy about posting recently, because I've been a little preoccupied with a project. After about two years without, I finally have a nano tank again!
So far it's pretty basic. Innovative Marine Nuvo 16, filter sock on one side and sponge caddy on the other, with a Chinese 36W PAR38 2:1 12000k and 465nm. At least list.
Rock is 6lbs of love rock from a friends tank plus some bleached rock left over from my last tank. Plus one piece of lace rock because it was really cool looking.
Skimmer is hopefully being added soon, going for cheapest that actually works, which at this point is the aqua euro nano. If anyone has a better idea, let me know!
Coral stocking plan is almost entirely stony from the Pacific. I'm thinking some basic sps in the center directly under the light, and lps on the sides where the light is lower. Fish wise, it's going to be all Pacific pygmy gobies, unless I decide to also do a caracanthus maculatus, which is a pygmy scorpion called the gumdrop coral croucher or gumdrop velvetfish.
I've seen too many nanos that look cramped. As such, I'm going for all very small fish and frags. I want it to end up looking proportionally more like a big tank, rather than having just two or three pieces take up the whole thing.
I'm using the Red Sea reef foundation program and Tropic Marin salt.
Employee discounts are awesome.
