Let's see those nano's 30 gal or less

[litenyaup]

As the title says let's see all the nano tanks and equipment. Tell a little about it i.e. Filtration, lighting, and what's living in it! Should be fun I'll start!

I am hoping see some pretty custom builds as I'm thinking of building a new acrylic cube 16"x 16"x 16".

Right now I have a 14 gallon biocube running. Just the factory lighting and filtration. Purchased rapid LED's and drivers to do a diy lighting replacement just waiting on heatsink. It's a euphyllia dominant tank as of now with a few zoas. I don't dose anything and do 1 gallon water changes twice a week. There is an extreme frost bite clown, a couple wrasses, and a full clean up crew. About 15lbs of rock.

My 25g AIO tank
5' long, 8" deep and 12" tall

12" is the filtration compartment with filter floss and carbon in the first chamber, marine pure balls in the second, tunze 9001 skimmer in the 3rd compartment (that was specifically built for this skimmer), maxi-Jett 1200 and rubble in the return compartment.

Hydor ato

Jebao wp-10 and rw-4

Dual 54w t5, ati blue plus and ati coral plus bulbs, rgb led strip added for moonlights/dawn/dusk.

About 15lbs of rock in display. Black sand.

About 50 frags in the tank including red planet, several Millipora, Monti, stylo, chalice, acan, bubble tip anemone... The list goes on.

The blue tang is there for a few weeks until my 170 is online, I needed room in the QT to help someone with their sick fish.

That is a very cool tank. Love the dimensions!

The small depth is rough to work with but it will be better when that giant hammer gets move into one of the bigger tanks.

About 70 gallons but I'll be adding an external fuge soon so that'll get bumped up to 90-100. Thinking about also adding a frag tank in also

 

[SashimiTurtle]

My Innovative Marine 14g peninsula. Used to have a Biota coral beauty in there but I lost it to velvet so the tank is fallow. Only three astrea snails.

Corals:
Green seriatopora, started as one frag but I keep breaking it on accident. Currently have two pieces.
Blue stylophora
Rose Stylophora
Green and pink pocillopora
Green acro
Kinda greenish blue acro
Wildfire digi
Blue polyp green moti cap
Green Duncan

Lighting:
Kessil A160WE

Filtration:
inTank desktop media basket loaded with filter pad, Purigen, Chemipure Elite

Circulation:
Factory return pump, soon to be upgraded to Sicee Silent 1.0
Koralia Nano 240gph powerhead

Manually topping off water and dosing Red Sea foundation A and B and energy A and B. Will be getting colors ABCD soon.

What smart ato are you using?

 

[Adam113]

What smart ato are you using?

Smart micro ATO. amazingly simple. I actually just use a gallon water jug as a reservoir in the cabinet under tank.
