Hey guys,

 

Long time lurker here!

 

Started my journey years ago keeping and breeding african cichlids for about 5-6 years.. Sold all that up and moved onto a 4x2x2 FOWLR tank... then setup a 30g nano reef which didn't quite work out well as I didn't have the time to dedicate to it.

 

Have had 3 years off fish keeping and am finally able to setup another tank!

 

I wanted to literally do it from scratch this time so I have built my first tank.

 

Dimensions:

41.6cm cubed with 8mm glass = inside dimensions of 40cm cubed making it a true 16G

 

Gear:

Will be running this setup sumpless.

Aqua One 300 CLear View HOB Filter

Aqua Excel AESumi Nano HOB Skimmer

Eheim Jager 75W Heater

E shine 60W Cree Classic Lighting which has 10 cool whites and 10 royal blues.

 

 

The Build:

Will hopefully have the cycle started by next weekend! :)

 

Plans for livestock:

 

LPS and Softies

CUC

2 False Perc's

So the ae sumi skimmer is really bad. Made way too many microbubbles in the tank. Going to go skimmerless for now.

 

Got some live rock and filled it up.

 

Any recommendations on aquascape?
