Well here’s my intro into the hobby. I started off a few months ago with the fluval evo 13.5, some dry rock and carbsea live sand. After cycling I’ve began to add the inhabitants.

Livestock:
Yellow watchman goby
Longfin clown pair
Target dragonet
Cleaner shrimp
Orange mushroom
Unknown brain coral
Rasta Zoa
Unknown paly

I have a custom lid, 1st chamber filter basket, full refuge in chamber 2 with a grow light. Return pump and heater in chamber 3. It’s being lit by a ai prime and I also have a Nero 3 in there.

I know it’s been done 1000 times but I wanted to share and also have a page to keep track of my progress.

Got these magnetic frag rocks from aqua rocks and a Aussie Duncan so go in one of them thanks to @AquaSD

I was looking at something similar just yesterday. Seems like a good option to increase real estate on a nano tank. Do you move it to clean the glass around it?

Loving your tank and choice of corals

I don’t take them out or anything. I found it easier to just be careful with the scraper around them. My snails also love to hang around them so the glass stays surprisingly clean around them

Little update:

I took out the 3 single rock frag mounts as well as the small one I had in the sand and moved them into my Waterbox. Besides that everything else is the same

@Shnetts some questions if I may. Who did your custom lid? What app are you using for the AI equipment? Is your 6line mean, if not you could have a female? Looking good, Im following.

Of course. My lid was made by KreativeReefer. I actually just upgraded it to a different one with a cutout for an auto feeder. I’ve yet to see my six line be mean in the slightest, this may be because my female clown is bigger and is an absolute ******. But I do have a YWG that went into complete hiding around the time it was added so I’m not sure if that’s why.

Edit: I use Mobius for my AI stuff, I used to use the AI app but for some odd reason the pumps were just always acting weird, since switching zero issues.

frag rocks are gone. All moved into my 20 gallon. Besides that not much is new. The zoas are showing some nice growth as well as the alvieaporas. My green mushroom in the back is at a standstill unfortunately. Would love to see that take off.
