Hey, Anthony here!
Been a REEF2REEF member for a few years now and originally started out on this forum with my nano 20g JBJ. So figured I’ll start a new thread since I finally got my hands on a Red Sea reefer 170. I transferred everything from my nano to the new tank. Figured I’ll just name the tank my Instagram name (@themangrovegarden)

Start date 12/9/18
Lighting: aquaillumination hydra 26hd
Return pump: tunze Silent 650gph
Bubble magus 3.5 protein skimmer
Heater: 2x titanium 100w
Red Sea high flow media cup
Aquamaxx 0.8 rox carbon
Caribbean life rock shapes

I know right! Pretty funny though when we first got the tank it looked massive compared to my nano 20g. Now it’s just normal lol

Thanks! Ive always had sand beds in my previous tanks, and this is my first true barebottom. So far I am loving it.

Can u take a pic from the top, and do you have some kind of substrate holding it?
It is a nice touch that I might steal from you, hahaha!

Go for it!
I’ve had the mangroves for 4 years. Can’t really tell it by the leaves though. They produce more and drop more through out my whole time of having them. In my old tank they were in sand with my rock work on top. Got this new tank so I just put them into the overflow.
