New here and wanted to say Hi

[LPS]

Hey guys, I come bearing some pictures of my nano reef and had been browsing the forums for a while and finally felt like joining!

I did the build with a budget, slowly added after it was running. I even built the stand and painted it myself, I do have plans to upgrade to a 30 gal wide to get more space for some more frogspawn and hammers! I want a garden! When I upgrade to the 30 I may switch to a self made simple design sump or keep the canister filter running. Hope you guys enjoy the pics and looking forward to talking to you all.

Haha yea I was really surprised no one took it, and LPS is hands down my favorite corals. The tank had clowns in it and just started to host the frogspawn but they were very aggressive by attacking my hand any time I went in. Plus anything I'd add to the tank they would kill, finally I bought a mandarin goby and they attacked him. Finally had enough and got rid of em, now have the mandarin and a cleaner shrimp. I think I'm gonna put a six line wrasse in and a firefish.

Welcome! Looks great! what size is your current tank?

 

[LPS]

It's a 20 gallon high, next step is a 30 gal long. I personally don't like tall tanks I want wide.

Same here! Good work!

Thanks it took a while to get where it is, I almost lost the tank when a rbta got sucked up into the protein skimmer. Month later I'm finally getting full extension again. Took a while to find right height for the LEDs too.

Tank thread? I didn't even notice that you guys had that, let alone people actually caring enough to follow it haha.
