Spider Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 Hey, I'm new to Nano-Reef so I thought I would post one of my tanks first. It's a 20gL that ran as a FW tank for about 1/2 a year and then got changed over to Salt Water as I was more interested. It is the second SW tank I have had, and seem to be running just fine (although given its only been 1 month). Equipment: Penguin 170 Bio-Filter Tronic 150w Heater Prizm Protien Skimmer (I run it it every other day) Coral Life 20w 10,000k Lighting. Stats: Amonia - 0 Nitrite - 0 Low-Range Nitrate - ~5 Setup: ~15lbs Live Rock (~10lbs Premium Florida Aquacultured) ~7lbs Base Rock Fine Grane Crushed Coral Base Inhabitants: 1 Blue Finned Damsel 1 Yellow-Tail Damsel 1 Rusty Angel 1 Snowflake Eel 1 Scooter Blenny 1 Purple Condylactis Anemone Over Stocked. I have a 75 gallon in the works for being setup in June/July. The snowflake is going to be permanently relocated to the 75. The Rusty Angel and Damsels will most likely stay - However I won't mind if the eel eats those damsels, as I would rather have a clown in place of them. I have a cleanup crew arriving this weekend to take care of the Nitrates (even though they are in good shap). I also am planning to get an Anemone Crab for the Condy next friday. I realize the bio-load is dangerous with the number I have, however the tank is still in early stages so I'm not too woried. So on with some pictures Link to comment
Spider Posted April 26, 2003 Author Share Posted April 26, 2003 Heres another. I forgot to mention a couple other inhabitants. 1 - Red Hermit. 1 - Red Starfish. Link to comment

stonepran Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 Great start!! time for some corals but other then that looks very nice. How is that orange starfish working out for you? I was thinking of getting one... Link to comment
Spider Posted April 29, 2003 Author Share Posted April 29, 2003 Thanks. I just got my cleaner kit today from JP.com, so the gravel will get a better turnover rate. The starfish works really nice. I picked him for 20$ locally, as I thought he would make a difference on cleaning, and he has. I would recommend getting one Link to comment
