RedSea Nano Reefer Build

Gorgeous tank! I would love to see an Update! Thinking of adding a UV sterilizer to my tank but I have the Redsea desktop which is an AIO and I have 0 space in the back (lol)
A UV sterilizer may help but usually with tanks this small, stability is the key.
 
As for an update. I couldn’t figure out what was going on in the tank. I had spikes in nitrates and phosphates and fish were going missing. Turns out engineer gobies can go carnivorous on tank mates. The spikes caused some coral issues. I’m just now getting the tank back under control. Probably a year out before it looks like it did above.

That's insane. I had no idea they could!

Yeah. I mean this ‘nano’ goby ended up being 10in in length. It is the last time I buy anything as a recommendation from a fish store. I tried to keep him fed but it would mess up the water parameters and then fish would go missing. Many lessons here.
