So since other are not asking throw up some other tanks pics! Your tank always looks so nice.

No Nems.?... hahahha. The simplicity is awesome. I just couldn't do no skimmer. It pulls out so much garbage/gunk for me. I'd love to have even one less chord. Hahhaha. As we all would. Congrats to you!

I actually have another tank with a build page. The 1.1g zero maintenance Pico reef!

Can’t stop! Won’t stop! Unlimited hosting bwahaha

I have lots of time for photos when my tank requires no maintenance. To the non believers of the algae scrubber - here is my proof. Maybe it doesn’t fix everyone’s situation, but don’t tell me I can’t grow algae in one area and have it not grow in another!

Display grows basically nothing.

Yet in the scrubber….algae thrives and I need to empty weekly


This is the scrubber after I took out a handful yesterday

And the corals all doing well with practically no pest algae, and no work on my side. No dosing, waterchanges, reactors, or skimmer.
