el_santo Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I decided to start a build log for my subdued return to nano-reefs. I've spent the last few years with planted tanks and a few months back got the 'itch' to start up another nano. After some planning and some reading of different setups here, I settled on this basic equipment list. It isn't exactly what I wanted, but it fit within the budget I allocated and kept the wife off my back (very important detail ). I'm not entirely happy with the aquascape I have at the moment. I think I'd like to add another piece or two of live rock, but I'm also not entirely dissatisfied with the minimalism either.

el_santo Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Thanks for replies. I'm still getting back into the swing of the 'marine' way of doing things. I've added a few frags of green birdsnest sps, a small xenia of unknown origin (cheap freebie from local fps) and a zoanthid frag that I forget the name of the color morph. Its very tempting to shove every single frag of "something" I see posted on my local reefer's club but I want to take this one slow and not rush (too much). I've been really happy with the Kessil so far. Sure it lacks some of the features of the AI Nano and some other lighting options, and maybe in the future I'll look at the AI Nano, but for now I'm really blown away by the shimmer effect and luminosity. Here are few more pictures. There's more in my flickr photostream for those that are interested. Link to comment
