Hello All.

One of those longtime followers of nano-reef that rarely/ever post lol Great info on this site.

 

Decided to tear down my 40 Long. Here's a pic of it in its prime. Pretty much everything grown from small frags.

The hobby hasn't been as fun for me the past two years always dumping cash for supplies, new coral, fish, etc... to fill up the 4' tank, as well as with the water changes and cleaning of it. Also burned up about a 1/3 - 1/2 of my coral underestimating T5's. Unfortunately, I also have other expensive hobbys (mainly water-sports) lol, so as a result trying to downscale this hobby while also making it more fun and loose again.

Bad Shot

Current Equipment

Used Nuvo 8 Stock except Light

25W Heater

ChemiPure

Wave-Point Light-Temporary (Will be upgraded to Reef Radiance Par bulb in about two weeks)

 

Right now it's just some rock, macros, snails, possum wrasse, and two-spot blenny in the 8 gallon. Have the coral from the 40 currently under some T5's in a 20 gallon (Sold some off to make it fit). My family is actually going to try to keep the 20 at their house. I'll be taking some of that coral for the Nuvo after I get the light.

Nuvo Stocking Plans

Coral-

Some coral from previous tank

Ricordea Yuma + FL

Misc. Mushrooms

Clove Polyps

 

Critters that move-

Possum Wrasse (always my favorite nano fish)

Two-Spot Blenny

 

To Buy-

Pom-Pom Crab x1-2

Porcelain Crab x1-2

Some Kind of small Shrimp???

 

Excited about getting into Ricordeas/mushrooms, have always wanted to. Just been super paranoid about adding them to bigger tank since you can't dip them. In a 8 gallon, if I get some unwanted hitch-hiker won't be as abad.

 

Will hopefully have picks of it progressing in a few weeks with corals and new light.

Thanks!
