Awesome looking tank, just started a 15 gallon jbj all in one with the same intentions to make it a sps dominant tank.
How often and big are your water changes? How many fish and what kind of fish do you have? How often do you feed them?

 

[vuqdao]

You'll love it. Definitely fun to learn along the way. I do 5 gallons every 2 weeks. 2 clowns and 2 damsels. I feed Rod's Food and mysis once a day, as well as dose 1mL of phyto and zooplankton. Once a week I'll target feed LPS/zoas with Reef Roids. Every now and then, I'll throw a booger of EasyReef's Masstick on the glass.

One of my faves. BC Backdraft the Movie the Table:


Rich colors Pearlberry

Aquacultured Pink Mille (id?) needs a trimming before RR The Vinh causes issues

 

[tanstrobels]

What kind of equipment do you have in the sump? Also looks like you use to have mostly softies, when did you make the change?

 

[vuqdao]

I suppose I should list this at the top, but my return pump is a Nyo Viper5, SCA65 Skimmer, jebao dp3 for mag (not using), phyto, and zooplankton. Apex stuffs, Neptune dos for alk and ca, leak detector, heater.

I made the change last summer, after neglecting it since 2019...then got the motivation from YT and here. ;Happy I've been lurking for a very long time, but never posted on here really.

Going to be trimming this weekend to fill the frag tank. Installed ReefBreeder's Prism ATO and MarinePure ceramic balls in the caddy so it's ready.

BC Teen Wolf encrusting and coloring up nicely. Available FS soon



Nice Australian Torch...too bad it's on the market



Scolies are starting to win me over, especially Warpaints. Tempted to keep.



Nursing this Bleeding Apple then onto the market...

Beautiful tank, the IM 25 is one of my favorite Nanos - kali

Thank you, it's an awesome little tank isn't it?

 

[tanstrobels]

Thank you, it's an awesome little tank isn't it?

Definitely is! Hoping my 15 gallon looks like this is a year or so. Are you willing to ship the frags that you are selling? Will have to PM you if so!

 

[vuqdao]

Well, it's a cultivation of being in the hobby for 10+ years, yet I still have alot to learn. And Yes, I will be shipping and I sure will pm ya ;Happy
