nano tank

After taking a long hiatus from the hobby I decided my field office could use some life with a nano tank. I was gifted the Bulk Reef Supply bundle for the Eshopps Deskmate. I initially decided it would be a budget build, but.... is there such thing as a budget build in reef keeping, haha. I went...

Best Auto Top Off ATO Under $100? Ive seen similar threads, but most are outdated. Least probable to flood and then accuracy in that order. FLUVAL Evo 13.5 w/ 5 gallon bucket Thanks coral friends!

Set up the tank on March 14 2023 and started to cycle. Roughly took two weeks to cycle dr.Tim and added a pair of snowflake clownfish. Tanks doing pretty week water parameters are looks fine after adding the fish. Will keep be testing ammonia and nitrites everyday for a week until I think the...

Hi fellow reefers.... I thought I'd share my Fluval Edge Marine conversion. New to reefing, and this is my first tank 3 months in. What a minefield it's been and the sheer amount of research and cost to it all. What's your thoughts on my set up? Started using chemi pure blue nano filter media...

I am currently planning my next build as I just shut down my IM lagoon 25. I was due for a reboot with some fresh equipment, test kits and overall better knowledge I have acquired from my last build. This time around I wanted a simpler tank, I realized my last build had its issues, mainly that...

Hi Everyone, I'm new to the forum and I'm also new to building a reef tank. I've done a lot of research since October and I think I have a good understanding of the basics. Due to space issue in my apartment, I've decided to build a nano reef tank despite the warnings about nano tank is not for...

Hi everyone! I’m building a 10 gallon nano reef to sit right on my desk in my home office. This is my second nano reef (previously a Fluval Edge 6 gallon). Why did I choose a 10 gallon? Besides liking to make things difficult on myself… it needs to sit on my desk. It’s a bit of a gateway tank...

I’m tempted to convert my flex 9 to salt, and looking for inspiration. Side question, what’s the back stocked with filter/media wise on your tank, or do you leave it how it comes? We got a decorator crab surrendered into work who has been surrendered/sold a few different times now, so I want...

Nano Tank build is UP! I will be testing parameters today before introducing bacteria and ammonia. So far Salinity is 1.026/35ppt, Temp 78.4F. Overall excited how far this hobby will take me. I can’t wait to see some livestock in the tank. Heater: Cobalt Neotherm Pro 75W Pump: Sicce 1.0 Media...

I have the Fluval 32.5, but I don’t know what a good clean up crew is. I was thinking of multiple different types of snails, but with snails comes snail eggs. What is a great cleanup crew for my nano tank? Possible tank mates: Clownfish (2x) Flame Angel (1x) Six Line Wrasse (1x) Tailspot Blenny...

After breaking down my old setup that had been running strong for 4 years the best decision was to part ways with everything that needed life support. I kept most of my dry goods and am finally starting my first build thread. So join me on my journey or let us call it round 2 of this IM Nuvo 20s...

Hi everyone! I meant to get around to this sooner, but life has kept me busy, so now I'm finally making my build thread! I inherited this little 15-gallon (18 including the rear sump) from a friend on Halloween of last year, just under half a year ago. It was dirty with algae-infested rocks and...

I used to have a nano set up for majority of my reefing time. In August I switched to 4ft 80g lowboy. I have 3 primes over it and that has been working great! Primes can be a bit pricey though. I have like 4 spare tanks in the garage. Looking to set up a waterbox cube 20. lighting is the...

Below is a long account about jumping into a reef tank. It's rather humorous looking back. I have waited 26 years after getting my first aquarium to finally get a salt tank. 17 years of freshwater helped, but I learned more in the first 48 hours of salt than I did over several years in fresh...

Hello Everyone, So recently I bought the 22.4 Gallon Rimless Nano Tank from FijiCube off of bulk reef supply. I wanted to hear suggestions on my build and hear any thoughts and concerns. I'm very happy with this build and I'm very excited to start reefing but before I start aquascaping I want...

Hello reefers, I currently own a fluval evo 13.5(been running since June 2021) and I wanted to upgrade to a waterbox 20. If I add all my live rock, bio media and some tank water from my evo to the cube 20. Will the cube 20 still cycle/mini cycle? Thank you and happy reefing!

If you have a nano tank (for argument sake, let's say under 40 gallons), how much do you dose daily of each element? And what kinds of corals do you have? I have a 25 gallon mixed reef spread pretty evenly between LPS and softies, and will be adding a decent amount of SPS soon. Currently I dose...

First time reefer - finally got some iphone lenses to offset the 20k lights, so sharing a quick vid. Would love any advice or feedback on the tank - ideas welcome! Tank is a 4 month old Red Sea Max Nano with Tunze ATO, Trigger Systems reservoir, Tunze wavemaker, InkBird + Eheim heater, ReefLED...

Hi all! I am running a 20g Red Sea Max Nano and have 7 coral, 2 fish and 2 sh. Today when feeding I noticed a flatworm on my hammer coral. I have only seen a total of 1 - but I’m sure there are more. Tank params: Age: 4 months Ph: 8 Alk: 9.7 Nitrate: 16ppm (doing another water change this...

I have been in the fish game for about as long as I can remember. Started with cichlids when I was little, slowly evolving into keeping piranha, then got tired of massacring goldfish so moved to saltwater. Im about 2 months into my first reef tank - a Red Sea Max Nano. Absolutely loving it so...

I’m moving my nano saltwater tank to virginia with me, the only things in the tank are a couple corals and cuc. I would really like some tips as i am new to saltwater keeping and i have never attempted to transport a tank :))
