Hi all! I am setting up a new nano reef to transfer everything from my Evolve 8 into. I wanted a tank that was longer vs square like the 8. So, I got the Imagitarium Arc 6.25 gallon bowfront glass aquarium. It's an AIO, but I plan on modifying some of it.
For starts, I'll be replacing the stock pump with a Hydor 200gph. The first chamber, I will probably make (or buy if I can find one that fits) a media basket. I'll be running filter floss, chemiPure blue, and some bio media. I have a 25w heater that will fit in the 3rd chamber with the pump. I'll also be painting the back black to blend the AIO part in better and the help make coral colors pop.
Lighting: Kessil a80 tuna blue.
Rock: BRS Reef Saver
Sand: CaribSea Fiji Pink or Indo Pacific, I'm undecided at this point
Salt: AquaForest Reef Salt w/ weekly water changes
Corals: mostly zoas, some mushrooms, maybe an acan or 2?
Here's my rock scape so far. Critique is appreciated and welcomed!
