Update: The tank has retired lol.

It was going smooth until I was approaching the end of May. The nem was doing fine and growing quickly. But my god this tank was a PITA for maintenance. The filtration was just not very good so it got dirty quick. Surface skimming was non-existent. I regret using the larger sand rock.

A week later I ended up buying the 1 gallon tank from PNW. Cut the size in half which was not ideal but boy was it just better.

I reused some sand from another tank and pulled the rocks from my 20 gallon long tank that I used for rock curing and coral overflow. I had initially planned for some sexy shrimp. But my package got lost twice from a certain vendor so I've just held off. Might try again this week. It does need some more life.

As of right now I am a happy reefer. Though my nem might need a new tank...

Update: nem was moved out of tank. It was getting too big at this point. Nor did I want it to stress and split.

I've gone ahead and moved some others in.
Did a 1 cup water change before pics.

Defiantly going to be an interesting time in the next couple weeks as I move. 4 tanks to move. Thankfully all nano sizes.
