Nano 8g cube Build 4 my son Liam

[NanoNathan]

This tank is being set up in my sons room that goes with the theme of his room. Turtle reef theme. He is being born in about 13 hours so i thought i would get this thread started since i will not have very much time in the next few weeks. This Will be a sea horse tank with corals and a few inverts and a gobie, not yet determined what goby i want. The tank will be a Fluval 8g shrimp kit set up. The nano filter is not being used. re used a api-nexx can. filter rated for 55g tank. with a modded hydor spinning flow for random water flow. also this will be the only flow in the tank due to sea horses not doing to well in high flow tanks. The tank has been cycling with a perfect one piece 13 pound live rock. im going natural as possible. letting any algae that is or will grow, hair algae, also will be adding cheto and a large piece of flame algae. i figure pods love to live in algae and sea horses eat pods so it will be good. i kinda like the look so far. the tank has been cycling for over 2 months. only thing in it is sand and the rock. a ton of pods and little critters. i have a few ideas what way this tank will be stocked but nothing is sure yet. pictures will be added soon. Happy reefing

Looking great! Not sure if others can chime in but be careful with corals since I think they can sting the sea horses.
