neyes_ice Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 hello everyone! thought i'd share my setup, just got back to the hobby, though i never kept a proper saltwater setup before let alone a reef setup. the reason for this setup is I have a 2 1/2 year old son is diagnosed with ASD (autism spectrum disorder) and having an aquarium can help soothe them. yes i could have just gone with freshwater and be done with it, but its going to be for me too 😄 its the biggest i could setup right now since we live in an apartment. I have decided to DIY the tank because we might move in 1-1/2 yrs time and it would be difficult to transport a glass tank 1,200 miles. equipment i can take. and here's what i have. Standard 15 Gal converted to AIO so display is like a standard 10 gal return pump: eheim compacton 1000 santa monica drop.6 for nutrient export kessil A80 tuna blue neotherm 75W heater xp aqua duetto ato mp10 circulation pump stocking plans: no SPS hammers and other manageable LPS minimal fish please comment on my aquascape i like the 3 island idea but i'm concerned it might be too tall if i plan to keep LPS i'm on day 5 of fishless cycling using one and only. the other picture is my DIY RODI mount. I make RODI in the bathroom since we live in an apartment. 2 Quote Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Nice job building your new nano reef system @neyes_ice, it looks great! It's an amazing thing to share with your son! I like the aquascape, I think it provides a lot of different areas and depths to mount coral in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment
