As for maintenance, this tank gets a 15% water change weekly. I feed with LRS nano every other day and the eel gets fed every Saturday. Let me know if you have any questions! I’ll try to keep this thread updated when I can.

How is the reefer nano doing?? Thinking of buying one
 
Here are a couple shots from this morning. It's hard to get a good picture with the lighting during this time, but everything is growing well and the fish all seem happy. I really like this tank overall, but I have found that the glass scratches pretty easily. Sadly, I am tearing this tank down in May and moving the livestock to a Nuvo 40 due to a move, but it really is a great tank.

Everything settled in well after the move. This is the growth after 6 months in the new tank. My hammers have been doing particularly well here. The pink hammer went from 15 to 32 heads in this time, and the green hammer went from 5 heads to 14. The acros have been growing great as well, and have tripled in size and are now mini colonies instead of sticks. (The tang is only in here until the end of them month and them I’m moving it to my friend’s 150 gallon)
