Reeftanktime Nano


Here goes. I purchased a used custom acrylic tank from Twins Guy. It is 15X15X20 or about 20 gallons. It came with a coralife 2x18W PC light. I may need to upgrade that someday. I plan on keeping mostly zoas in it. We'll see where thigs go from there.

Rocks


I used rocks that were in my sump for my 58. First I laid them out and then I stacked them how I wanted them, and again, and again...
Eventualy I used Harvey putty to secure a few to each other. Then I transferred the stacks into the tank.

I like the tank. I really like the rock work. You left a lot of surface area for stuff to be placed and grown on. And I like the little mini archway towards the top above the larger archway. Looks like a couple good spots for some fish to hang out.

No fish yet, but I do have some zoas, frogspawn and a few other items in there. Now if I happen to get a new MH for my other tank I might put the 250 DE on here. Then I could add a few select pieces of SPS. Hmmmm...

SPS Nano would be very cool! I had a 250W XM10,000K with 2*32W atinics over my 15!

Great tank! I love the small cubes.

I have put the 250 HQI on the nano and started putting some SPS frags in it. I also transferred the flame hawkfish from my 58 for a while. He tends to beat up on the shrimp and smaller fish.
