Hey all. This tank started out kind of as a last ditch effort. Me and my wife are moving from a not-so-great apartment to a nice townhome on Saturday. With the big move and everything going on, we decided it would be best to get rid of my 30G cube aquarium that I never really had the time nor funds as of late to make exactly what I wanted out of it. The usual craigslist started, and the livestock and corals began to go. As the end got near, and packing and cleaning out storage started, I came to realize how much aquarium stuff I really had (I found 4 tanks in storage shed alone). I started looking at things, and realized I had a decent start to another decent reef - just in miniature.
And that's what started this 10 gallon. I just got the jist of everything transferred over tonight. Basically everything is from the 30G cube. Some of it works in the nano, some doesn't. I will begin to perfect it after the moe and once we start to get settled. This is by far the smallest aquarium I have ever attempted, so any input from the nano gurus is appreciated. Eventually I want this to be a SPS dominated mixed reef.
As it stands right now, the ighting is a 72W T5. I have one 350GPH power head, which I think is too large. I'd rather be running two power heads of half that size. I need a smaller heater as well, and a small HOB filter so I can run my carbon. I would also like to eventually step up to LED lighting.
Right now there is just a clean up crew, and a clown. Dust hasn't settled yet, but this is what I got:
