My new build is an IM Nano Fusion 20 pro, which I’ve upgraded. APS aluminum stand

Lighting - 2 AI Prime 16HDs

Return pump - Mighty Jet 528gph

Skimmer - IM desktop DC Skimmer

Reactor - IM DC desktop reactor

Chiller - chill solutions

UV Sterilizer - IM Desktop UV Ster.

Heater - Cobalt 75watt

AI Nero 3 power head

Aquascape - “Real Reef Live Rock” - The purple rock is manmade but was live at one pont, it was dried out before I was ready for the build

Staxx, Cut off edges of rocks, so they all have a flat back. The back wall is 3 solid and sturdy pieces. Everything is glued to a flat acrylic panel so nothing can get behind this.

Special grade live sand

I’ve managed to stuff the rest of this into my stand

Apex controller
Apex Trident
Apex FMM with LDK
Apex Dos x 2
4 x 16oz Dosing reservoir - Once it’s necessary I’ll automate ALK, CAL, MAG, and control PH spikes with Distilled white vinegar
ATO with 2.5 gallon reservoir

I wouldn’t be using most of the equipment during start up

I am using; MicroBacter Start, MicroBacter clean, Vibrant, Dr Tims, API tank startvand I have some Pro Bio S Probiotic Bacteria. Also used Fishless Fuel.

Tank tested clean X 3, CAL, MAG, ALK, PH levels all optimal

Flow - Nero 3 is flowing end to end on an angle. There will be a flat stream directly above it from the left return. The right return has a rotating nozzle to introduce random flow.

I increased my tank temp to 82, and set my lights to nothing but blue.

Even though the “live reef rock” is covered with Coralline algae. I wanted to add more from a clean source. So I’m trying live coralline algae in a bottle. Light were turned on today for 10:00 all Blue.

I'm trying for the most stable Nano possible, this is the most that I've ever spent on a tank

NICE!!! More importantly, do you like it? You have to look at it every single day. Your opinion matters most.

This was my best effort. I think I've created a habit that will truly be a home for my pair of Perculas their BTA's... Then I'll add things that get along.... I'm am hoping that I can get a one spot blenny at home in there. I'll have to figure out how to feed one. Then maybe 1 or 2 more little fish... and then I'll add the coolest looking stuff that I can find that suited to the environment. Not trying for a stick farm, but I should be able to support a lot of cool looking stuff.

Trying for a solid base for a pest free aquarium.

I think it's a pretty solid, "cool".

You can see both my clowns in this pic, here are Bonnie and Clyde in their current home, a Nuvo Fusion 10
