Sjd Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 hi everyone, i'm an italian student (industrial chemistry) and after a 7 months quit from this saltwater world i've decided to come back, but with a nano this time. last tank was exacting for time and incompatible with university. it was a 250liters reef. now i was thinking about a 50 60 liters nanoreef and i was wondering about lighting, i watched some led lights from fishstreet under 100dollars but at same time i was thinking about e27 lamps or pl (like the illumination for the sera cube xxl marine biotop). what do you think? the target for the tank, as coral, will be just lps and soft corals Link to comment
TFish77 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Any LED that has 3 watt bulbs and is dimmable you really can't go wrong with for easier corals. Welcome back to the hobby! Link to comment
Sjd Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 can i link these led lights? Link to comment
Sjd Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 and instead of pl/e27 lights what do you think? and i was thinking about using sand, 3centimeters, as i had in my last tank Link to comment
Sjd Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 hi everyone, i bought the tank (50*35*35cm), the light and a little skimmer (boyuwg310) and i think in some days it will be running Link to comment
ajmckay Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Awesome - looks like a nice little tank! Is it rimless with curved front corners? Link to comment
SaltwaterShoup Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Good luck! In the future I would recommend a Kessil A150 for nano reefs. It'll cost you a small fortune but the results are worth the price. Link to comment
Sjd Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 Awesome - looks like a nice little tank! Is it rimless with curved front corners? yes and i will update the post with new pics for the kessil, i think it's too powerful for my target, but thank you for the advice Link to comment
Sjd Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 ill post some new pics when water will be clear Link to comment
Sjd Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 i added an hob filter with some cleanwater from wave, some active carbon and a little bit of filter wool Link to comment
Sjd Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 today i put in some fitoplancton and a nassarius for the sand Link to comment
Sjd Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 any advice? how will you populate this little tank? (crabs, shrimps, etc) tell me your ideas Link to comment
Clown79 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Is it a 10g? There are a few options. You could pick 1 fish appropriate for the size and do a shrimp, pom pom crab, sexy shrimp, hermits, and corals Theres always a goby pistol combo Maybe a goby and small fish with various inverts Link to comment

Sjd Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 the skimmer is now working Link to comment
Sjd Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 in the next days i'll add some copepods and some fitoplancton again Link to comment
