9g Peninsula

9 Gallon Peninsula of softie goodness

 

My little nano tank that I started up as of May of 2022.

 

It's a 9 gallon aquarium, but with rocks and water displacement I'm ballparking around 6.5 gallons. The theme of the aquarium was soft coral dominated filled with sarcophyton, lobophytum, sinularia, nepthea, along with some mushrooms and zoanthus.

 

To compensate for nutrients, I have some macro algae although I'm sure the corals don't mind the nutrients.

 

Equipment
Tank: Seapora 9 Gallon Rimless
Lighting: Maxspect Jump 165
Filtration: Tunze Comline Filter 3161
Powerhead: Nero 3
Dosing: Tropic Marin AFR with Kamoer X1 Doser

 

Stocking
2 x Mocha Storm Clowns
1 x Biota Royal Gramma

 

The tank was going to be submitted for the Reno contest but just when X'mas was around the corner the tank was hit with a nasty infestation of dino, which recently cleared up and corals are recovering now.

Great looking tank! Eager to see how it'll look grown in. The Palau nepthea from me is in that tank, right? 😍
