1/2 gallon micro reef

[Daniel92481]

Hey reefers, just wanted to share a fun project here. I’ve had my pico set up for a while now and decided to set up a tiny 1/2 gallon micro tank using the light spill from the 360X. I found this cool shaped bowl sitting on a little piece of carved wood and thought it would be perfect for this project. Super basic build using 10watt heater with an air stone for water circulation. I added a couple of zoa frags, ricordea, and a rhodactis mushroom. I quickly went from two to three tanks that I’m maintaining. I have a nano, pico, and micro now. Here’s a few pics.

Add a couple whale sharks, they do best when crowded like tetras do

I think the tang gang would all kill over at once haha

Hey, thanks a lot! I’m excited to see your build too.

I recently moved and broke down my other tanks and this is all I could setup for now. The smallest tank I’ve owned before this was a 40b with 20 gallon sump so this nano stuff is all new to me. Tank has been wet for two days lol

 

[Poof No Eyebrows]

You are going to make me try something I will probably regret!

Oh nice! These nanos are really fun. I think you’ll like the simplicity of it all.

Cool idea using the light spill from another tank to grow that tank! I Never would have thought of that!

I mean, that’s the least I could do. What are friends for?

Hey, thanks! Yea, I thought it was pretty unique, plus purposeful. Just some simple corals. They seem to really like it.
