Setting up my 13g AIO tank again Equipment: -13g AIO. (I was told by a member on here a few years ago that it was Aquamedic prototype, but I’m not sure) -For now an Aqua Knight LED light my dad had laying around. I will be upgrading soon. -Sicce .5 return pump -Jebao SLW-10 -Pacific Coast Nano Skimmer -75 watt Eheim Jager -Aquatic Life RODI unit. I’ve always wanted to have a zoa garden, so that’s what plan to do with it this time. Possibly a photosynthetic gorgonian. Would like to put in a goby/shrimp pair, but also considering going bare bottom. Any fish recommendations for a bare bottom nano?

Well well well, here we are again. New tank, new build! Here's what we've got! Equipment Tank: Lifegard Aquatics Crystal AIO 4.1 gallon Return Pump: Sicce Syncra Nano Wavemaker: Hygger Mini Wave Maker Heater: HiTop 50w Light: 2x Noopsyche K7 V3 75w LEDs Stocking List: Fish: TBD Corals: Zoas/Soft Corals: Misc. Zoas LPS Corals: Duncan Jingle Bells Cyphastrea Ultra Leptoseris SPS Corals: WWC Grafted Monti Mystic Sunset Montipora Sunset Montipora TG Halloween Stylocoeniella ASD Rainbow Millepora Misc. Millepora Broken Arrow Tenuis Green Pocillopora Tri Color Acropora Purple Bonsai Acropora Forest Green Acropora Inverts: One Cerith Snail One lonely red legged hermit crab Probably some Aiptasia somewhere lurking... Current FTS (19 February 2022) I picked up this aquarium on a sale (along with another small tank, but let's take one thing at a time 😉 ). This small "all in one" pico (or nano at the most) is only 4.1 gallons. Not as extreme as many of these crazy hooligans showing off their one gallon reef bowls, but this thing is pretty small nonetheless! Being an AIO, filtration will be taken care of with coarse foam and plastic bio media (these are stock supplies that came with the tank). With this aquarium being so small it's a little difficult to find equipment that will work/fit, but I ended up using a spare NeoTherm that I had lying around and I ordered an Asta 20 (the marine version) from amazon for lighting. I've read the controller for this light is a hot mess but the light seemed decent enough to fork out the $50 to get (I'll let you all know how I like it). Like mentioned in the list, I am planning on using a small media reactor and skimmer, both of which I'll be making (parts are in the mail). I've always liked the DIY aspect of the hobby and enjoy the challenge, but am more into making things that are not only functional, but have as much quality as I can muster (aka I'm not rolling with hot glue and water bottles). I'll probably make a separate thread on making these two pieces. Stocking will be kept to a minimum, being such a small volume of water, but I kind of want to keep that all a surprise until it comes in and everything is happy and doing fine. I've had a lot of experience keeping nano planted aquariums so small volumes of water are no issue with me, but I still have a lot to learn with this niche in the hobby and am excited to see what comes of it! Updates to come. Thanks for stopping by!
