  1. I will keep checking the LFS, I have been searching frequently and have been to a ton of the sponsors stores but have not found what I was looking for, saw lots of beautiful things for sure. I just thought I would expand my search even further.

  2. My wife and I are looking to start filling in our little 10g nano and we have decided we would like to venture into the world of Acans. We are looking for frags that are appropriate for a nano so they don't outgrow the tank anytime soon. Color-wise we are looking for rainbows and Acans that are multicolored with pinks purples and blues. If you have something available, please shoot me a pic and a price. Thank you in advance for time, it is very much appreciated.

  3. Awesome build so far! I have the same tank lit by an AI Prime and it's perfect it'll support anything you want under it and it has endless color options.

    Thank you for the advice, i will add AI into my list of LEDs to research

  4. Very nice! Sorry I have no suggestions for a light. I'm trying to figure out what light to use for my fusion 20 as I'm not thrilled with my maxspect. Nice aquascape. I love the picture above the tank too!

    Thank you for mentioning the painting above the tank, it made my wife very happy. She's taking painting classes and that was one of her first.

  5. Hahaha james!!! You so used my clash of clans screen name! (That you came up with) hahahaha

    I loaned it to you for clash of clans. Im ready for some frags now.

  6. Please forgive my tank right now, it finished cycling a week ago. I have a small cleanup crew, pink bird nest, bird of paradise, rainbow rhino zoa, and a BTA. I will slowly be adding to the tank as funds become available but this is what I have thus far.

     

    Whats under the hood:

    • Innovative Marine NUVO Fusion Nano 10
    • 8.9 lbs of live rock
    • 10 lbs CaribSea Ocean Direct Caribbean Live Sand

    • Ghost protein skimmer
    • Koralia nano 240 (MP10 will be here Friday)
    • SmartAqua Nano ATO
    • Upgraded media basket
    • Ebo Jager 50Watt heater
    • It is a lot of stuff to try to fit in the third space of this nano but it works perfectly

    • Had a scrap piece of "Black Galaxy" granite that I fabricated for the top
    • Stand was salvaged from another tank, threw home depot handles on it, touched it up with a sharpie

    • Kessil a150

    I know, I know, its a complete overkill for a nano tank. Everything but the light and the tank was literally lying around the house collecting dust so I figured what the hell, put it to use. I am however considering upgrading the kessil, i noticed that 3 of the diodes are dead and I am well past the warranty period. Was considering the a160we with the spectra controller but have not made my mind up yet. If anybody has any input or critiques on my set up, I am always open to suggestions. Thank you for taking a look. Happy reefing!

  7. Hello everybody,

    I might as well be new to the hobby. I haven't had a reef tank in 14 years and after looking at all the new advancements in the hobby, I feel like a noob all over again. I remember when T-5s were the upcoming tech, who ever would have imagined LEDs. I have had multiple successful ADA Iwagumi tanks over the past decade so I am not totally decayed. I am starting out small with a nano tank because there is speculation that I will be buying a house in the near future. The idea of setting up a tank only to tear down and setup a tank was not appealing to me. With a nano I can drain the water and walk out the door. Its a pleasure to be here and look forward to becoming involved in the community. BTW, I will work for corals.
