First Reef Tank (Nano Cube)

[gunit]

Just getting into reef aquariums (well aquariums in general). From San Francisco,CA.

12"x12"x12" Glass Tank
~8 lbs of live rock
Black live sand
Marineland Penguin 100
Hydor Nano 240

ph 8.1
Temp 76.8F
Salinity 1.025

Cycle started Feb 9, 2014
Added 3 hermits (2 small red legged, 1 medium blue legged) and 2 Astrea snails about 3 weeks in
Added 2 SPS coral frags (Psammacora and Button Polyp) a week after

Right now I'm have a Wave Point 6w mixed LED fixture which I know is way under powered for the SPS, but should be getting the Fluval Nano LED (14w) this Friday which I hope to be sufficient for the two corals I have.

Thoughts, comments, recommendations?


Here are close ups of the two corals.

I'm a little concerned with the splotches on the Psammacora, but am hoping that was just me being clumsy (bumping it) when I was bringing it home and putting it in the new tank. They've only been in the tank for a few days but look to be doing decent (especially given they are probably underlit).

Just realized I hadn't updated this thread in awhile. Here's a FTS of where things stand right now.

I'll actually be transferring everything to my new Nuvo 16 this weekend so hopefully all goes well with the transfer and I have more space to expand

Here's a FTS after everything has been transferred over to the Nuvo 16 and is settled in.
