Hey guys new to nanos!

DeepSeaReefer7 · Jul 14, 2015

Newer to the nano reefs but my last tank was a 50 gallon mixed reef

Just got a IM fusion 20 and set it up today used system water from the best fish store in the state so I don't have to cycle
My hopes are mixed reef lps, softie tank
Fish on the list to be added is
2-3/4 inch frostbite clowns
Tiger pistol shrimp
Yasha goby
1 cleaner shrimp

Equipment:
Kessil a160
Tunzes 9002 skimmer
Jabeo rw4 ( upgrading to mp10 hopefully)
Tunze Ato

I'll post better pictures later
Had to grab a quick shot before I went to work

Any advice is welcome
Happy reefing!

Excellent! I keep the JBJ 20 RL, Tunze 9001, Tunze ATO and next the MP10! Interested to see how you like the Kessil, people really like them on Nanos. Sounds like the perfect stocking list for that tank.

Thanks only thing I'm unhappy about is I can't fit the skimmer in the back chamber I might have to buy a IM ghost to solve that problem ha

Happy reefing

Do not get the IM. It will not even come close to standing up to a Tunze.

Go to MarineDepot and window shop for Nano Skimmers.

Ha thanks for the heads up I will do that

The sand has finally settled and redid my rock work

DeepSeaReefer7 · Jul 16, 2015

Well just check my water today I was hoping the tank wouldn't cycle but it's in a mini cycle right now hopefully by the weekend it will be over.
Looking into getting 2 spin streams I see them a lot on nano tanks and figured I'd give them a go
Also debating whether or not to upgrade the return pump.

Tahoe61 · Jul 16, 2015

Yes upgrade to the MJ1200, it does make a difference. I added the MP10QD today, I wish I had not waited so long or tried so many other wave makers, power heads, it's worth the money.

DeepSeaReefer7 · Jul 16, 2015

Great I just ordered 2 spin streams and a mj1200, I also decided to go skimmerless at this point to have,more room in the tank and I'm going to do 3 gallon weekly water changes to offset going skimmerless,
I'm hoping I can find some nice clowns this weekend
Hoping for some
Flurries
Or davincis
My local pet store has flurries for 59
Haven't seen davincis in a while

Looking pretty solid so far! One thing you'll need to watch out for is to make sure the fish stay in the tank and don't jump out, I have seen this happen many times in the smaller nanos!

DeepSeaReefer7 · Jul 16, 2015

Thanks for the heads up I have the screen top that came with it

lukshannon · Jul 16, 2015

Awesome! No need for it till you get some stunning fish for that tank haha

DeepSeaReefer7 · Jul 16, 2015

Deffinetly! I don't have great luck with my clowns in the past I've lost 2 males from jumping out (more like pushed from my brute of a female) ha don't want to go through that again

lukshannon · Jul 16, 2015

Haha it's the worst feeling to wake up to a a fish on the floor

DeepSeaReefer7 · Jul 16, 2015

I know! One time I had a bucket of saltwater next to the tank,and he missed the bucket by and inch

lukshannon · Jul 16, 2015

Ah man that's the worst!! Best wishes to you for this new tank, maybe the top will be used

DeepSeaReefer7 · Jul 16, 2015

Thanks as soon as I drop the first fish screen is staying on lol

lukshannon · Jul 16, 2015

Good idea!

DeepSeaReefer7 · Jul 17, 2015

Lighting update
I decided to put my maxspect razor 160w 16k over the tank I like the coloration better sticks out a little on both sides but not terrible lol
