Coming back to the hobby

My wife recently got a freshwater tank and im looking to get back into saltwater. Im looking at something nano sized. Would love to purchase/receive any clown fish pair or bubble tip anemone. I remember a couple of you had bubble tips that split and had babies every so often.

 

Wanting to do very simple no hassle clown fish and anemone tank. Maybe some Zoas or a frogspawn sometime in the future and just let it grow and thrive.

 

hope your aquariums are all doing well!

First day after getting the Fluval Evo 13.5

 

Used cement to put together rocks from my 50 gallon cube I held on to.  Broke them apart a little and created this nice little aqua scape. 
 

Live sand was added. And the rocks were added.

 

The rocks have been “baking” for about 4 months in a brute can with a light on top of it and used Instant Ocean Bio Spira water treatment in the brute. 
 

This was my way of “cycling” the tank which worked perfectly. 
 

Params so far are perfect. Waiting to add fish as I’m going on vacation in a week didn’t want to put fish in then leave for two weeks lol.

 

My plan is either nothing but anemones and 1 clown or one rock of memes and the rest zoas. 
 

I am upgrading the pump to the eheim 1000 compact for more flow. Random flow generators on the return nozzles and an extra submersible led blue light to mount under the top to give more blue pop. 
 

I work a lot of hours so I plan to try and keep it as low maintenance as possible. Of course it’s a hobby so who knows.

Hey all. It’s been a minute since I posted. Wanted to update ya. 
 

I had a bit of a tank crash in the first 5 months. All my Fish died except one clown I saved. Thanks to some folks on here and cuttlefish I got my tank stocked back up and has been running smoothly for many months. 
 

I barely do anything to the tank. Besides daily feed of mysis shrimp and adding water to the auto top off.

 

From Anemones, to lps, to some sps. Tanks thriving. 
 

water change once a month 20% ish or more depending.
