29 Gallon Mixed Reef

30x24x12

 

Hey guys this is my 29 Gallon mixed reef! It's pretty low tech, old school HOB filter and no sump. Lighting is currently a Nanobox Quad unit. Running for about 5ish years now.

Hey, that's a great tank. I like simplicity and the longevity of your tank speaks of its success.

 

O yeah, welcome to N-R. There are wonderful folks on here to share in the comraderie of the hobby.

Thanks vlangel. I'm loving nano-reef right now, a lot of great info.

Hey, what do you guys think about using Chemipure Elite (carbon and some gfo) to keep down nutrients and phosphates? I've been having some hair algae trouble lately.

I had excellant luck with it. Unfortunately I had to stop when I got seahorses as they don't tolerate it for some reason. I never had anything react to using it though.

I love longnose hawkfish. Their checkered bodies and then the way they perch on everything! I like that red gorg too.

Yeah, I've had him for a while now, it's really cool how hawkfish perch. I read somewhere they have no swim bladders, so they can only swim for very short periods. This guy also eats just about anything you put in front of his face too. :)

A hearty appetite usually means a healthy fish!

Only have a small frag of this now, I switched to RODI and there was some kind of swing in water parameters, most of my SPS died off.

Some quick updates here, my tank went through a few nutrient problems, but the issue has been mostly resolved.

 

Here's a new appleberry monti, and a JF grafted cap in the back, also my jedi mind trick, which browned out a little, but now it has it's color back.

Also my new Harlequin Shrimp! He's a little camera shy, here's the LFS photo:

Just ordered an Aquaclear 110 and InTank Media basket! Will probably put a DOC comline skimmer in there at some point soon. Any experience with these pieces of equipment?

awesome! You'll be happy with both and the tunze is a nice little skimmer I used it for a while in my old tank

Thanks! I'm looking forward to it. I'm upgrading to a Nanobox Quad this December too :lol:
