Paratore Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) Well I haven't had an actual display for about a year and a half to say I'm excited is a huge understatement. I traded Hieu my 45 JBJ for his Nuvo 20 which worked out perfect since I moved to a smaller house Thanks again man! Been cooking the rock in my frag sumo for the last 3 months and today I finally got the tank wet. Next week I'll add my clowns and a few weeks after that other fish. Gonna take this tank in a crazy direction an have it be Damsel dominated! been collecting livestock for the last few months and storing it in my frag tank. Now I'm just waiting for the tank to cycle....Should be fast....Equipment:ATO: Tunze Nano 3152Lighting: 2 AI PrimesMedia: CarbonFlow: upgraded Return with spin streams.Skimmer: NoneStand: repurposed night stand Fish:Pair of black clownsSix Line Wrasse Green ChromisCoral: -Zoas: Rainbow Sakura, King Midas, ASD Arch Mage, Seductions, Utter Chaos, JF Askraks, Blueberry Fields, LC Petroglyphs, Rastas, Captain America, GB Java Chaos, Punk Rockers, Iron Mans, Kiwis, Tyree Orange Rainbow, God of War Morph, Hawaiians, Butt Munchers, JKR Crab Nebulas, Magicians, Bam Bam, My Clementines, Mind Blowing, Eye of Raw, Darth Mauls, TPA Green Galaxy, Red People Eaters, Everlasting Gobstoppers, Nuclear Greens, Blue eyed girls, BBEBs, Armageddon, and a few unknowns. -Euphyllia: Green Hammer, Pink Hammer, Purple tip frammer, Purple with white tip torch.-Rose Amemone-Green Bubble Coral-Toadstool-Yellow Mushroom-Red Plating Monti-Blue digi-Green Goni-Red Goni-Green Star Polyp -Redish AcanSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited January 22, 2017 by Paratore 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paratore Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 Thanks guys! I've gotta admit I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about the tank being so short at only 13" tall... but man this tank is amazing! It's seriously the perfect size. Easy for water changes too! Kept track of how much water it held after rock and sand which was only 14 gallons. Scott it should, got it from Hieu [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paratore Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 I'll get more pictures up once the water clears up. I'm quite pleased with the rock work, should have lots of room for corals Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did have to start dosing after a while though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paratore Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 Well I plan to keep very little SPS so I think the 5 gallon water change will work wonderful! going to try and keep this a low maintenance tank Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanoreefer Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Looking good!!! I liked how easy it was to maintain with just small weekly water changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
