JaceR Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Hey guys, I been trying to look through NR using the search function, but it's hard to find those 5-15g tanks that are just a simple set up. What I'm talking about is no AIO tank and no sumped tanks. I'd really appreciate it if you have one of these tanks if you would post a pic and a brief summary of your tank. Thanks -Jace Link to comment
Snow_Phoenix Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Well, this was my previous 8G nano tank about 1.5 years ago. It was 8-months-old before it sprung a crack and leaked, and I was forced to transfer everything to a different, larger system. I just used a normal HOB filter filled with floss and activated carbon and ran a Resun-2000 wavemaker. I had a Diamond Goby and Falco Hawkfish in it. When the tank cracked, I gave both fish to my LFS. The manager loved them so much so he kept them permanently in their display. The Falco is still alive until today, but the goby has unfortunately passed away in their main tank. This tank had mostly softies, a bit of LPS and some zoas and a mini maxi carpet nem. This tank had no sump or skimmer. I just did 40% to 50% WCs per week. Link to comment
JaceR Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 Thank you for sharing, for some reason the simplicity of these tanks are really intriguing, pondering the idea of setting something like this up. Link to comment
