I had this one for about 2 month I think. Is all on how you acclimate it. And how your lfs acclimate it when it arrives

COOL. Mine is on the way and I ordered 2 rw4. The one is plenty isn't it? Do you have a sump on it? Im thinking of adding a 20 gallon sump.lol

.AcroKiller. · Mar 6, 2015

Yea the rw4 is plenty I have it on else mode on 2 and is flowing like crazy. Naw I'm keeping it an aio is simple and easy

Are you running a skimmer? I just want to be able to keep sps and am worried it will be a nightmare.lol

awsome pics

No skimmer for now just water changes. There's not really efficient skimmer on the nano size. They just don't work great and need constant adjustment

Got mine from the frag swap. That might have had something to do with acclimating it or lack of stability.

Before cleaning and water change

Love the "simple"/"minimalist" look of this. I don't mean that in a bad way at all!

Yea I have always been fascinated of minimalist reef tanks so i make sure this tank was set up that way. I only wanted to recreate a reef crest with acropora only and only selected a few non sps corals which are separated from the rest on their own small rock to add a visual aspect other than acropora.
