YaBoiLaj Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Well, it's been a while but I'm glad to be back 🙂 Used to be on the forums as @ThePaontedFrogfish when I had three active systems. Since then I've moved states and had to break all my tanks down, but now that I'm settled it's time to get started cuz the reef itch was getting worse and worse by the day.  Goals I've always been really into the small oddball inverts, over my hobbyist career I've housed a purple spot mantis, a few periclimenes brevicarpalis anemone shrimp, boxer crabs and similar inverts. Since these animals are so small (minus the mantis lol) I immediately knew the aqueon 1 gallon cube was perfect and ran to petco to pick one up. The plan is a simple bare bottom tank with a few select coral pieces along with three small species of anemone shrimp or other symbiotic invert/s.  Hardware Thanks to amazon prime this should all be here by Monday at the latest 🙂  Tank : Aqueon 1 gallon frameless Lighting : Lominie LED Nano Asta 20 Heating : Aqueon mini 10 watt heater coupled with a little clip on fan to help vent heat... it gets hot in AZ Filtration : EA Performance HOB (Can't seem to find the azoo mignon anymore 😕) Media: Good ol filter floss and black sponge along with some chemipure Possibility : I have had some amazing results utilizing chaeto, if needed which I doubt I will, but if I do, I may use a chaeto reactor which I still have from years ago lol   1 Quote Link to comment

The Rainy Day Aquarium Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I'm always down for a tiny tank build. AÂ few Pederson's cleaner shrimp would be fun if you could find some. Quote Link to comment
