15 gallon column ==> Mr. Aqua 12 Gallon Long

[mcnamaracj1]

Here's my little ongoing project. There have been tanks in my family since my dad and I went on a field trip to a saltwater store when I was in 5th grade. We jumped right to seahorses, which was quite an endeavor. I would stare at the frogspawn and other corals/fish for hours. Now that I'm in my own place, it was only right to get a nano reef of my own. 

Tank Specs

Display: Aqueon 15 Gallon Column Tank
Lighting: Chinese SB LED's from eBay
Heater: whatever was cheapest at Petco...
Circulation: Reef Octopus VarioS 2 return pump (Apex controlled)
Filtration: Marineland Bio-wheel 100
Fish: 2 Occelaris Clowns, royal gramma (free to whoever can catch him), and a shrimp goby

Inverts: scarlet cleaner shrimp, Randall's pistol shrimp, emerald crab, lots of random snails and hermits

Corals: 

LPS: hammer, Duncan's, Acans, torch, pagoda cup, green trumpet 

SPS: red monti, birdsnest? and what I was told is a Monti digita

softies: some leathers, zoos, pulsing Xenia, and zoos

Here's my...very high tech light set up (aka ghetto). Haha, it is one of the Chinese LED boxes stacked on top of some picture frames from IKEA so its not sitting directly above my tank. Eventually I'll upgrade this once I'm not in a rented apartment...

Retired the 15 column and got a 12 gallon Mr Aqua long tank. Corals seem to be enjoying the Orbit USA LED reef lighting as well as better flow in this tank!
