Smithjm5 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Thought I'd update this now that I have everything running smoothly. (for the most part ) For stocking I want a decent variety of corals. I want a small ricordia garden,acan garden and as much euphyllia as I can fit comfortably haha. So far for fish I have a pair of Occ clowns, and may be adding some type of goby or smaller fish later on. Thanks for looking!

Smithjm5 Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Made myself a "lid" for the top so fish can't jump out. Made it out of net so I don't have to deal with condensation or it effecting the light. I think it turned out pretty well, took about 45 min minus the painting! Link to comment

Smithjm5 Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Alright so I got my sand and live rock in the tank. My phones camera isn't very good so sorry about the quality haha. But anyway I messed around with the aquascape for a while and finally came up with something I really like. Let me know what you think! Link to comment
handzoff Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Looks great! Love the scape. We're did you get your rock. What kind is it? What sand did you go with? Link to comment
Smithjm5 Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 Looks great! Love the scape. We're did you get your rock. What kind is it? What sand did you go with? Thanks! The rock is from Marine depot, it's there "real reef live rock" I had in it my last tank and liked it a lot. And the sand is Caribsea Arag Alive, I like it because it's not as fine so hopefully it wont get blown around by my wave maker.

Yes it does eventually encrust with the real thing, but it looked real out of the box the day I got it. Really good looking rock. Link to comment
Smithjm5 Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 We have WATER, cloudy but still... water haha! Link to comment
Smithjm5 Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 Good morning Nano Reef! Just thought I'd put up a picture of the tank now that the water has cleared up! I also wanted to let you know that I finally ordered some new leds for the tank! I got 2 Nano 60's from reef radiance. There full spectrum, and dimmable lights. I'll be hanging two of those over with a bookshelf type mount above the tank haha. Stay tuned! Link to comment
Smithjm5 Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 Looking good so far! Thanks! Link to comment
