Tinola's Nano in 90 Build Off Competition Entry

[Tinola]

From what I've seen from the LR bag, I saw some pods. Not sure if they're alive or not any longer. I did make my own water. Aquavitro Salinity @ 1.024-25
I wouldn't introduce pests in my tank lol.
I wonder if Neptune Aquatics' chaeto have pods in it.

 

[buddythelion]

Bristleworms aren't pest. They're good guys! But you don't need them yet and it's impossible to avoid them anyways. :tongue:

Neptune's chaeto probably has pods, no harm in trying! And my tank is pretty much cycled already because I didn't use any dry rock and the water I used was old tank water. Neptunes sells real ocean water so that might help as well, no need for aquavitro since it's a pro salt and there's no corals who need the minerals.

Bought some chaeto! and I put it in the AC 50. Busted out the AC 20 so I can put the chemipure and purigen in there.
Will post pics maybe Sunday.
I'm getting there!

Good luck on your 20L build.

That is great getting close to be able to start adding livestock after you post your picture.

Lol, sorry the whole tank didn't show. I couldn't get any help when I took the picture. I'll post another one tomorrow.

It's pretty awesome! I'm impressed how much light this tiny thing puts out!
Probably overkill over a 20 gallon long, which is why I raised it 14" above water surface

Looking good!

Thanks!

Wow! One 90w led? I'll bet that is bright! I've seen those before but I didn't realize how many watts it is.

it's very deceiving to the eye, it looks a lot less intense to the naked eye than MH or T5 but when I take a picture with my camera you can really see how intense it actually is in the image

I don't have a gooseneck thing. I just hung it from the ceiling with a chain.

 

[Tinola]

I just bought Rox .8, GFO today as well as my ATO, Avast.
Will be adding CUC tomorrow! There's a tiny amount of nitrites left. I don't want to rush the cycle.
My first coral I'm gonna add would be a Nuc green paly from buddythelion! This weekend maybe.

 

[Mike&Terry]

Glad to see you are just about done with your cycle and looking forward to seeing some pics with livestock.

Bought a green/yellow tenuis acro and a pink zoanthid frag today after changing about 20% of thr water. Both frags were from the 10$ section. So i have 20/500$ from tge spending limit. Pictures will come when i get home tonight or when they open up.

Look foward to seeing pictures of your new corals
