shaner014 Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 Added coral tonight. Bizzaro Cyphaestra Sunny D’s Utter Chaos Long Lash Eagle Eyes Rainbow Hornets Fire and Ice Purple Rainbow Acan Orangaide Acan Couple quick cell phone top downs during the water change I did a few hours after dipping/adding. I did move the sunny d frag off the Hotel Palythoa to keep that for smaller head zoas. Eventually ill I’ll get some time to get the real camera out. All my tank time has been tied up with small projects to get it dialed in or changing equipment. As the months wear in and things slow down with additions and changes I’ll be able to focus more on the photography side and buy the 100mm macro I keep eyeing daily... cheers! 6 Quote Link to comment

shaner014 Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 Things have opened up a bit since I added them. Really been impressed with the polyplens and my iPhone. As said though, stepping up to the DSLR again soon! @CAD-Aqua Cadlights PLS-50 Elite 2 Skimmer is an absolute beast. Do anything you can to get this in your nano. Or a buy a tank that it fits. 10/10 from me. 2 Quote Link to comment

I’m enjoying this more than any of my previous tanks by a long shot. Amazing what a little planning and past experience can do for the overall process. 1 Quote Link to comment

Can’t wait to see some fire under your nanobox! 7 hours ago, NanoRox said: dang that torch is 🔥🔥 The green monti is going to be sick when it grows on that back wall! Agreed! The PicoRox was perfect, popped the cap on a small plug and dropped it right in, so convenient! I have the second one out at the moment since it was empty, but will get a red/sunset cap next LFS visit! 3 hours ago, Chris882003 said: The tank is looking great. Appreciate that!

Chris882003 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Man that Mightyjet moves some water. I put the stock one back in it was pulling a lot of water through the filter. Once I install the inTank media rack and skimmer I will put the pump back in. Quote Link to comment

I’m actually gonna grab a second one hopefully to experiment on with modifying the flow down more. Quote Link to comment

Not sure if there is anything like that for this pump. I do like it. Quote Link to comment

Not sure if there is anything like that for this pump. I do like it. Probably could find something similar. I may try and clip the impeller or purposely create some partial obstruction on the outflow. Not sure what’s easiest and won’t shorten the pumps life too much. Just dreaming it up still.

shaner014 Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 The CadLights skimmer is a beast! @CAD-Aqua This is about 5-6 days worth of skimmate. I’ve been feeding the clowns crushed pellets daily, as they are tiny still. Also have been broadcasting 4-5 drops of polyplab polyp extender before hand for a little extra in the water column for the coral. Spot fed the acans some pellet for the first time Friday. Plan on adding more hammer, more zoas, and a red (or fancier variety) monti cap. Also on the look out for a scoly or plate for the bottom left. 3 Quote Link to comment

Reefkid88 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I ran one back in the day,it was dead silent but I had a micro bubble issue that never went away. Skimmed like a mad man though @JR! 1 Quote Link to comment
JR! Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Thanks brother @Reefkid88 I might add a sump to my current build so I'm not to worried about the bubbles Quote Link to comment
