Hello Nano-Reef! I've been waiting a while to get back into the hobby after breaking down this pico reef build due to frequent moves for school and work. Now that we're more settled in one place, my wife and I have decided to start up a new reef and bought ourselves a Red Sea Max Nano. Livestock plans are pretty set in stone at this point: Mixed SPS/LPS Fish Ocellaris clownfish pair ✅ Helfrichi firefish or a springer's damsel Yellow watchman goby Pink streaked wrasse ✅ FTS: 8/25/19 Table of Contents: 7/24/19 - First FTS Equipment: Tank: 20G Red Sea Max Nano Lighting: AI Prime HD, LED diffuser Filtration: stock protein skimmer Heater: 75W Cobalt Aquatics Neo-Therm, Inkbird Temperature Controller Flow: MP10, stock return pump ATO: Tunze Osmolator Salt: Red Sea Coral Pro Media: BRS carbon Rock & Substrate: ~15lb BRS Reef Saver Rock, ~3lb KP Aquatics Uncured Live Rock 15lb Caribsea Dry Aragonite Special Grade Reef Sand Maintenance: 10 gallon water change weekly Replace filter sock and filter floss weekly Replace carbon monthly Feeding: Hikari pellets daily BRS reef chili twice weekly Frozen mysis weekly Fish: Pink-streaked wrasse Black and orange ocellaris clownfish pair Invertebrates: Cerith and dwarf cerith snails Nerite snails Nassarius snails Banded trochus snails Scarlet cleaner shrimp 2 blue porcelain crabs Corals: SPS Red montipora capricornis Red montipora setosa Bubblegum montipora digitata LPS Fluorescent tip purple torch Peach/pink hammer Purple tip green frogspawn Jack-o-lantern leptoseris Green duncan Brown/green candy cane Dragon soul favia

Alright everyone! Here is a start to a new beginning, I recently shut down a nuvo fusion 10g (wee tanked) as well as a rimless 70 gallon which I did not post on here before in order to set up a Red Sea Reefer 170!!! I tried my my best to go with top notch equipment and so far I think I've done pretty well! So on to the specs thus far and then some pictures!

Hello all, I am new on this forum and this is the journal of my tank - RedSea Reefer 350

This came up in a PM suggestion for wider exposure, and including a download link as I had forgotten to reference the hosted STL's in my build thread. Anyone that has done testing with Red Sea or Hanna checkers will know what a pain drying out the cuvettes is. I've almost broke some a few times, and recently got a 3D printer.. so I designed and printed these: cuvette_holder2 by Kyl, on Flickr cuvette_holders by Kyl, on Flickr The STL files for both the Hanna and Red Sea versions (along with sizing test prints) are available to download on Thingiverse. One thing to note is that I'll be revising designs slightly when some more time becomes available. Temporary cap storage while drying will likely be included in a v2, but these currently work quite well for the main goal - securing the cuvettes while they dry out instead of falling and breaking. Happy printing and reefing!
