1g minibowl?

24/7ReeFTime · Jan 5, 2020

I have a 1g minibowl. First off I was not planning on putting any fish in it. I was wondering if I could just grow frags? I would have to get a different light I know. Would I really need a filter or not? Ik it will be hard to maintain water quality. Do you think it’s possible?
thanks in advance.

Frags only I think it is possible. I would get ahold algeabarn.com about it. Maybe a small snail and some sort of chaeto kept in the bowl along with good lighting would work. Also, maybe copepods. The algeabarn may be a good source of information for your need. If you go with corals that do not require food (lots of them) you wouldn't have to worry too much about it. I'm just thinking out side the box here. I'd be interested in what you find out and following your progress.

Can you refer me to a site/video of how to frag corals

I’ve posted a nano thread I will be doing weekly updates on.
CHECK IT OUT!!!!

Youtube has a ton of videos on fragging. Depends on what you are fragging on how you do it. Can you post a link to your nano thread please. I'll definitely follow it.

main problem with a 1gallon tank is maintaining salinity with top off. It can vary a lot.

If you are able to maintain it and have some flow. regular water changes... yes, you can grow frags

Nano Build - Super nano 1g frag only????

I have a 1g minibowl and I’m planning on growing frags. I am open to suggestion on filtration and lighting. I will probably not keep any fish in it. But if there are other invertebrates that can go in please suggest. I will update weekly.

That’s it

This is the tank. I was wondering is there any tiny HOB filters or is there someway I make one. Any lighting suggestions, preferably small spot lights? I have some live sand and I’ll probably get a small rock(live or dry?) or should I try to find a small frag rack(I can always trim to size).
