Plantpot Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Hello everyone, new reefer here from the UK I've just about ordered everything I need so ready to start my nano reef journey! TANK - Fluval spec 60l marine (same as Evo 13.5 but a little taller) LIGHTING - stock for now but upgrading to a AI Prime when I can afford to spend more. RETURN PUMP - Stock for now with a 3d printed RFG on return pipe FILTRATION - media basket in chamber one with filter floss and carbon (open to suggestions here) I've also plugged the small hole in the wall of chamber 2 and put a skimmer in chamber 2 (again open to suggestions for this) HEATER - Cobalt Neotherm heater 75w WAVEMAKER - jebao sw-2 ROCK - Caribsea life rock about 12lbs roughly SAND - CaribSea Arag-Alive Fiji Pink Live Sand (will be doing this about 1 inch thick) Stock is still undecided but getting a lot of great ideas from this forum so will see what my LFS has to offer once I'm cycled. I've read a lot of advice on here and elsewhere so hopefully have enough knowledge to not mess up too badly but I'm new so will take any advice Quote Link to comment
Plantpot Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 Before I add my sand what does everyone think to my aquascape I've tried adding little overhangs and hiding spots. 1 Quote Link to comment

Plantpot Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share Posted December 6, 2020 Can't decide on the aquascape, who knew this would be the hardest bit! What does everyone think will be better my first attempt or second? Quote Link to comment
