PowderBlue Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Well I've been tankless for way too long so today I pulled the trigger on a little nano setup. Plans are pretty simple, some easy corals, a couple fish, and then upgrade this winter to a bigger more permanent tank. My work schedule has died down so I finally have time for another tank. My wife was also getting eager to have fish again so what better timing?! Equipment listaquamaxx 22l low iron-ocean box reef conversion-2 ai primes-santimonica filtration drop 1.4 algae scrubber-neotherm heater-tunze 6040-eheim return pump-IM hydrofill TI with pumpI may ditch the algae scrubber and go with a skimmer but not sure yet. Sand gets here tueaday and I'm grabbing some rock from Kevin tomorrow since the rock that came with the setup smelled like a bucket of death and buttcracks. I will likely buy an apex again soon as well before I upgrade the tank. Anywho I'll be out for some corals once everything is cycled!

PowderBlue Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 Thanks guys! It's good to be back. Aquascaping this thing is going to be a nightmare. It's not easy on these little tanks.

PowderBlue Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 Slowly but surely it's coming together. It has the sand and rock in it. I am lucky enough to have friends who always help me with my tanks! Special thanks to Kevin for dropping off some live rock to help seed the tank. I also used the carib sea Fiji pink live sand to help speed the process and introduce bacteria. I think I have the aquascape I will keep but that may change. Last thing I need to do is toss the blue background on the tank. I'm using the sheet type instead of painting it since its setup as a peninsula so when I sell it I want the new owner to be able to use it however they want.
