New 16 Gallon Nano Reef Aquarium

[Matthew Braunstein]

This is my new 16 gallon nano reef aquarium. I just added 16 pounds of live rock today and I also have live sand in. The three week cycle process starts today. I was told my tank needs more flow so I am planning on adding a small power head. My plans for live stock are the following, 2 clowns , 1 fire fish, and 1 watchman.

Yes great looking rock.  3 week cycle seems way short no ?  I would not put any live stock for 2 months.

Okay thank you I will test the water when I am at the 1 month point and see how things are looking.

The longer you wait the better. All depending on the water I wouldn't see a problem adding a couple hermits and snails at a month.  

But yes the rock looks awesome. Hats off to the person who did it.  Lol
