William Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 So after constantly bugging me about helping him set up an aquarium, I have finally agreed to help my friend Rich set one up. We decided on a White Red Sea Nano Max due to its all in one nature and fairly comprehensive set of feature. I plan to have him essentially run it in a stock configuration. He was especially wowed by BRS's clown harem tank, so we will be doing a mini version (only two clowns though). Aquarium: Red Sea Nano Max - White Heater: Neotherm 100w Skimmer: Stock Return: Stock Lighting: AI prime HD Water Flow: Icecap 1k Gyre ATO: XP Aqua Duetto Sand: 10lbs especial grade live Rock: 10-15lbs Carib sea “shapes” rock Biological: Maxspect bio Brick, May add an innovative marine bio pellet reactor if needed Salt: Brightwell Neomarine Live Stock Fish: 2 Clownfish - (not sure what type he wants) - Will most likely have 1-3 other fish depending on size Inverts: Bubble Tip Anemones (I would like a mix of colors), Hopefully 5-10 of them Rock Flower Anemones, 5-10 of them Mini Maxi carpet anemones 3-5 of them Clean up crew (hermits, snails, brittle star) 2 emerald crabs Corals: 1-2 Gorgonians, likely a purple frilly and a corky sea finger. Ricrodia florida I will probably put the maxspect bio bricks in my system to get them colonized with bacteria and do a chemical cycle before I add the live rock. The tank will run with live sand and biobricks for a week or two while being dosed with ammonium chloride. 3 Quote Link to comment

It’s doing well, and he has taken over most of the care of his aquarium, I’ll try to get a picture from him some time soon 2 Quote Link to comment
