Small reef..

[yuppyguy07]

SBReef.com PAR38 and their gooseneck. Everything is doing well under it and it looks great. Pictures can be a pain sometimes with the white balance, but beautiful in person.

Ok thanks, it's out of stock on their site. I wonder where else I can find it. How controllable is it?

I have really though about doing a biocube also but I haven't found one cheap enough yet. No cheap enough to justify not using something I already have

I found the 14 from $30-$50 with out pump or lights but I’m using a new pump and an ai prime hd because I’m going rimless

I thought you set them so that they had the most random water currents in the tank.. I don't know though as I am still learning on the big tank also.. lol

I guess what I'm getting at is if they are blasting a rock then they don't go as far across the tank lol. And random flow is good but you can get that by placing them either of the two ways you mentioned. Right now I have one on each end of my tank as well as one on the back facing forward. But mine are fairly small and don't move a ton of water. I just had them laying around so I used them on my 29g set up.

Oh yeah, you right about the rocks blocking flow.. I didn't even think about that. Hahaha I'm doing the same with my powerhead, well basically everything I'm using is stuff I had lying around the house

That picture is my 29g, the HOB filter on it is the same one I used on a 10g in the past. So your oversized one should be just fine.

Yeah, right now I am in the process of painting the back of the tank and resealing the inside of it. Just for my own piece of mind

I'd say my 6g is a successful reef, in a nano size. Going over a year now, all is well and I'm enjoying it a ton. My little clown bud does too!

Nice! You converted your Edge to SW reef. Did you do something special with the lights?

Here's my 10 gallon IM Fusion after 2 years, until it crashed last month.

Man that sucks. What caused the crash? Always a huge fear of mine...

We had a late snow storm last month, and we lost electricity for two days.

Beautiful tank, so sorry to hear about the crash

Nice!

My best tank I think was a 7.5g rimless. I'll find the thread. Also had a 12g rimless that's was pretty awesome as well.

Mine is a 5 gallon Eco AIO using a Fluvsl canister in place of the cheapy water pump. 18 months old, mostly softies and easy SPS and one Blastomussa.No fish. No ATO. Change out 1/2 liter of tank water daily. I propagated the seven yumas in the pic.

Good luck getting the damsels out of the big tank[emoji106]

 

[Bruce Burnett]

here is a Marine Depot video for a 10 gallon. .I have been thinking of doing one. I would recommend an ATO. I would not recommend putting Damsels in it. There are a lot of nice fish for a nano just limit them to a few. 20% weekly water changes are cheap and you pick the right corals and you won't need any supplements. Be sure not to over feed the tank easy to do on small tanks. I wanted to have my wife do it so she could get more

These are the AIO EVOs from Fluval. So most is stock except in my 13.5, I have GFO pack in the return, some extra rubble in the 2nd chamber of sump, and an in tank pod hotel that doubles as a light weight chaeto reactor. I installed a mini skimmer in the 13.5 but haven't really used it...so may pull it out and reuse the 1st chamber

can you elaborate on the in tank pod hotel?
