MainelyReefer Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Acan dominant 10" cube Kessil A80 Koralia 240 or 425 Yellow clown goby Water change only to minimize the look and because you don't need to much filtration on such a small tank But in all honesty it would probably just get used as an ATO reservoir Link to comment
Newstead Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Saltwater garden with my tree shaped green frogspawn on a hill shaped rock as the centerpiece surrounded by a garden of colorful zoas as flowers covering the bare bottom after painting the underside grass green. Nanobox light, Aquaclear hob with InTank media box housing heater, etc. to keep the inside as free as possible. Link to comment

Oracus Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Still new to reef tanks. I want to start a coral only tank with zoas lit by the new Kessil a80 Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Here's what I would do! 1. Nanobox Tide for lighting, heater hidden behind rockscape and powerhead camouflaged by macro algae so the tank looks as natural as possible 2. An aquascape that would breach the top so I can incorporate mangroves and airplants 3. I would provide filtration with display macro algae 4. Corals would include mushrooms and zoas 5. No fish, I would keep this invert-only and include a few rock flower anemones, sexy shrimp, anemone shrimp, anemone crabs, scarlet hermits and some scutus limpets! Link to comment
teejay Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 One center island with an SPS dominant display of acros branching out from each side of the island. Lit with some form of kessil with a single mp10 in the center back for flow with its low profile. Possibly a pair of naked clowfish to round it out. Link to comment

holy carp Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 My elegance coral was the first coral I ever purchased, and ever since it has been the centerpiece of my aquarium. After about 15 months, though, it is now outgrowing my current tank. Rather than risk sawing it, or simply selling it, I'd set up a second tank primarily for displaying this coral. I'd plumb it into my current setup, keep the tank barebottom, elevate the coral on a small acrylic pedestal, and add a fish or two. Illumination would be either the new A80 or a Prime, though a Coral Compulsion may be an alternative. And if my two RFA's end up having babies, I'd add some sand and fill the floor with a rock flower anemone family. Link to comment

Reefkid88 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 A all Acan tank with a Kessil A80 would be awesome. Link to comment
Sunstar Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I would love to do a gorgonian tank with macros and maybe some sea horses. Link to comment
rolltide Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I would do: Frosted back glass Nanobox Mini Tide AC30 for flow and filtration Three rocks, each with a different ricordea florida morph (lime, blue, and purple maybe?) One red headed goby Clean-up crew Some sort of macro algae for added texture Rics are my absolute favorite, and I think these tanks would be perfect for a visually pleasing, dedicated tank.

Erny310 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Simple Zoa garden on a live rock shelve with a variety of shrooms .diy led fixture with the smallest power head I can find for a steady water flow.no filter simple water changes thats about it Link to comment
UNS Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 T- MINUS 2 DAYS! Keep em coming! Looks like a lot of you would go with the Nanobox for your setups. Would these lights be good for an SPS tank of this size? Link to comment

ecam315 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I would use either size as a tank for my desk at work Corner acrylic box for surface skimming with a rack for floss and pump for circulation. Custom light with 2 3ups Rock work to cover the corner and flowing down. Black sand. Sexy Shrimp - 4 Frags of my current zoas, candy canes, toadstool, fl rics . Smaller RBTA from my multiple splits.

teenyreef Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I'd do mame overflow with a small sump, and hide a small powerhead behind the rocks. I'd go bare bottom and use my spare Nanobox Tide for lighting. Then I'd stuff it as full of zoas and acans and rics, with some kind of centerpiece coral, maybe a torch or a really pretty leather.

Mitch's Fishes Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Oh man I love clean, simple cubes like this. I would do a Euphyllia only tank and keep the scape nice and simple. A center, branching rock would have hammers, torches, and frogspawns attached. I would only add a pair of snowflake clowns to go with the modern, clean design of the system. As far as equipment: Light: Nanobox tide Flow: MP10QD Filtration: I'd love to do a custom overflow to a sump in order to keep as much equipment out of the tank as possible Sump: DIY 3 chamber system Heater: ViaAqua 100w titanium heater Link to comment

Justind823 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I've always wanted to try a low tech Xenia dominated tank. I love Xenia but I'm too scared to put it in my tank. So I'd do a few different varieties of Xenia and keep a bunch of sexy shrimp. I'd use a Tom's canister filter and maybe keep it simple with a Par 30 or 38 on a gooseneck for lighting. Link to comment
ajmckay Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 T- MINUS 2 DAYS! Keep em coming! Looks like a lot of you would go with the Nanobox for your setups. Would these lights be good for an SPS tank of this size? Yeah the nanobox is pretty popular - more than enough power for a small cube with SPS. A PAR38 would also do the trick. Wouldn't look as sleek but costs quite a bit less. It's interesting to see all the cool ideas and amazing to think about how many possible combinations of corals, fish, and inverts there are in the saltwater hobby. A lot of opportunity to create something unique. Link to comment
UNS Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 Are you drawing at the end of the day (midnight) or is there a time designated? The estimated time will be 1:00 PST Link to comment
Merthynia Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Lighting: Nanobox Tide Filtration: AC 70 Heating: Neotherm Rock scape would be minimalistic with an easy to access sandbed. I would like to move my two domino clowns into it with a large torch or frogspawn centerpiece with an assortment of LPS around the base and rest of the rockwork. Link to comment
Sancho Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I would probably drill it or instal custom AIO insert Light it with a AI prime RW 4 for some flow As for corals acans and lobos only Link to comment
