My 24gal Nano


As some of you might already know... I downgraded my 55gal to a 24gal NanoCube w/ 2 38W 50-50 pcs. Its been up n running for a about 2-3 weeks now and everything seems to be doing fine.

My Specs are...
Calcium- 400
Nitrates- about 5 (which is down from 20!)
Phospate- 0
Salinity- 1.024
Temp- 78
Ph- 8.5

My fish and coral will be in on the 24th (hopefully). The coral includes green devils hand, yellow finger coral, stripe mushrooms, and red mushrooms. The inverts include a Colored BTA and 2 skunk shrimp. The fish inlude 2 false perculas and a six line wrasse. I will also have 4 red banded turbo snails, 2 orange sand sifting snails and 2 colored finger tubeworms.

Heres a pic of what it looks like without the livestock.... The pic is right after I put the LR and LS in, so its still quite cloudy.

I will keep everyone updated with any new info and pics when the livestock arrives!
