Kitchen corner Nano

Recommended Posts

So I am dipping back into the nano world, and I wanted to have my tank somewhere that I could enjoy it. I had this little corner tank custom built to fit here, its about 6 gallons total and I left a space at the back to hide all the the wires and space for a container for the ATO. I am planning on having this as just a coral (LPS/Zoas) and invert tank, possibly a mantis shrimp home. 

Display: 6 Gallon Custom corner tank

Water: RO for water changes, filtered fridge water for ATO

Rock: 3.5lbs of live rock

Sand: about 1.5lbs of Caribsea "live sand" 

Lighting: Aqua Knight Spectra M029 (30W) 

Heater: Nicrew 100W heater

Circulation:Sicce 1.0 Silent pump 950l/r

Skimmer: None

Filter Media: Filter Floss & Activated Carbon

Dosing: No plans to dose just yet

Top Off: Aqua duetto 

Salt Mix: Instant ocean reef crystals

 

Corals: coming soon

 

Livestock: coming soon!

Still waiting on my light to arrive so I can start adding some corals. I will likely go get a few CUC members this weekend though. Extra shot of my rockwork that I am really proud of. It was tricky counter weighing each side so they are floating. A stick of epoxy putty and a tube of super glue later...

Thanks guys! Zoa frags will be added this week, I have about 10 different ones to spread all over the rocks. Not sure what other corals I want to add, maybe a torch or frog spawn. I thought it would have a very cool/clean look if the rock was just over grown with zoas 🙂

I picked up this gorgonian coral on a whim today, I’ve always thought they were a cool addition. And anyone ID it? Wondering if it’s a photosynthetic gorgonian.

Tank is still up and running, I have been trying to make maintenance super easy. I have ran tubes down to my basement through the walls now, one for the auto top off to a 5 gallon jug that has enough RO water for a month and the other to a 10 gallon tub of premixed salt water. Now I just have to siphon out water upstairs and activate the pump via an app on my phone and the tank quickly refills. Lots of new corals, I lost my shrimp but added an emerald crab and an anemone crab.
