Went for a simple setup, one piece of live rock from another tank. Want a BTA only tank with a nice pair of clownfish whenever I happen to find a nice pair.

Very nice. A pair of black and white clowns wound look awesome in there.

Where did you get your RFG from? I ordered the 1/2” lockline one from BRS and it just slips off

Just an update.

any updates on how this thing is running? have a 15gal peninsula cycling and wanting to do exactly this. still can’t decide to run a skimmer or not.

I did the same thing with an IM 10g AiO (build thread link). It's doing so well for me that I'm doing an upgrade to an IM 30L. I absolutely LOVE the tank. It's been on autopilot with nothing but a weekly or bi-weekly 3g water change.

I like my LPS/softie tank a lot, but the little 10g anemone tank gets a lot of attention when people come over. I started with 3 BTAs and a pair of clowns, now I'm up to 8 BTAs and 2 RFAs.

It’s doing alright, not as good as I would like. The small water volume the salinity changes too much for my taste. But go for it man, when you get everything just right, I love the look and movement.

nice one man ! looks awesome, so even running an ATO the salinity still swings? any info on your rear chambers would be handy ?

also, im having quite a cold winter (melbourne, australia) and need a 100w ehiem to keep it at around 26°C, what are you using ?

thanks.

I havent found an ATO that works. Thy always seem to fail on me and over fill the tanks. Maybe I just havent found the right one yet.

I actually today took out a bunch of rocks and anemones. Keeping the ones on the glass but switching the tank to a zoa tank. Looking to add pops of colors.

But for my filtration.

Chamber 1: KrakenReef filter floss cup
Chamber 2: Marine bio spheres, chemipure blue
Chamber 3: Sicce 1.0 return pump

The 10 gallon nem tank is no longer. They have been transferred to the IM20. Here is the WB10 Zoa garden!

 

[ABQ_CHRIS]

Looks cool. How long do you expect it to take to fill in?

 

[Jmcdaniel0]

Love a good zoa garden. I placed a big order with WWC today, I got 11 nice zoa frags coming!

Can’t wait to see it man. It’s nice being about 15 mins from WWC. Their AOI zoas are stunning if you ever get a chance to get a frag.
