What kind of tank is that? Fluval? Seeing all these awesome nano tanks makes me want just a bunch of them instead of a big tank lol

60 bucks at deathco, great little tank. Little tanks are great cuz they're easy to fill [emoji6]. Excited to see it grow out

LOL $60?? that's awesome...what did you do for the filter area? Doesn't look like you kept the one it came with...I also have an AI Prime on my own nano currently...love it!

Mp10 lets you control down to like 5% or something idr the exact % but a few yrs ago I remember thinking it was a pain to disperse the flow without disturbing something
I wish ecotech would release something half as strong.. could be the Nano/pico pump

 

[Pork]

20 lbs of sand 8lbs LR large clean up crew, live rock rubble and cheato in the back compartment with an led on it 24/7 and weekly water changes that's it. Had a bag of carbon in there at first when it was cycling.

That's unfortunate, I'm having to use 2 rotating deflectors to tobranfomize the flow at the moment. Would have been nice to just have the 1 mp10 instead of all these pumps

Haven't heard of cheato filter lol, I'll have to look that one up!

Lol it's like having a mini half gallon sump back there, I allow algae, macro algae, pods, ect to thrive back there and they help keep the water clean. Between that and the 28lbs of sand and rock it does pretty good. I wouldn't have had to water change this week if I didn't need the trace elements. Only thing I do different on my larger tanks is a skimmer.

Another unhealthy coral I picked up at deathco, tip had stn when I got it and no polyp extension. Polyps are out now but it hasn't encrusted back over that tip so well see how it does. Really trying to push this little tanks limits

Well it's a really nice nano! I would Def want to do something similar, maybe after I move lol thanks for the info

Awe ty!

I want to try out the 3g cube they have,but I feel like the filtration area is really small for a DC pump.

Hello first timer here. I have kept various reefs before but never shared really. Started this tank to get back in the hobby. Tank was cycled for 3 weeks before adding coral so it's about 4 weeks old now still a baby we'll see where it goes. Just a few easy corals to start and a random sps to test this light. All chemical filtration has been removed from the back and replaced with cheato and a filter sponge. The small powerhead on the left will be replaced with a jebao 4 this week so that will be nice.

you can see the light shining through the overflow that lights the cheato, need a smaller led strip this one is too strong

Nice tank

 

[PAXpress]

I like that little tank. I was looking at the IM 10 gallon but this thing is pretty as well. Will have to keep these in mind.

 

[Steven Garland]

How is the tank hanging in there ? The sps doing good ?

 

[Pork]

Tank is doing great! Echinata recovered well and the sps is growing I'll take a few pictures in a bit. Had an emerald crab eat an acro tip but the base is still encrusting so well see

 

[Pork]

The makeshift mini fuge in the back is starting to take off as well, tons and tons of pods don't they're being eaten enough
