FTS - October 2019: Left-FTS - September 2019: April 2018: Setup date: 28-Oct-2017 (picture taken 13-Nov-2017 because, well.....cycle and stuff) Hi there Nano-Reef Been meaning to put together a tank build thread for a while now, but have been busy working (gasp!) while at work. Well that and staring into this little nugget of an office nightstand tank: ( for the workstation rules update) Almost a year ago, my group was moved to a new office area, and it's so quiet you can hear other people breathe. And no, no one is a particularly heinous mouth-breather either. In an effort to create a little background noise, I dusted this little beauty off after a 5-year storage stint in the ol' garage. A quick to trip to Scripps (yay ocean water), some left over live rock from the house tank, et voila! Background noise is now a go, and so is an excuse to stare off in space while pretending to solve all the manufacturing crises of the day. Here are the deets: Tank: Innovative Marine 8 gallon - a little sad they don't make these anymore, the curved corners are super nice (but also tedious to clean) Gadgets: Skimmer: Aqua Gadget SkimMate Return: Whatever pump came with the setup (I'm having a brain fart at the moment) Heater: Finnex 50W (caused the great Christmas cook-out of 2018) Extra flow: VorTech MP10 Top Off: Custom Controller: Apex Jr. since it's toasty 'round these parts and old heaters sometimes cook things Lighting: EcoTech Marine Radion XR15W G4 Pro The good stuff (aka livestock😞 Fish: PigFish - an oinker of a tiny smallish maroon clown Creep-o - the creepiest little Green Banded Goby (went keyboard surfing one weekend) Inverts: Blue Legged Hermits All the Stomatellas - Pig Fish got hongry Nassarius snail Every dumb Astrea snail I could find - Hermit houses Corals: Rainbow torch...............there's a story for another post........................ Rainbow Pocci-lypse (it's everywhere now, even in the back chambers) Pink Pocci Multicolor birdsnest ALL THE ZOAS Holy Scoly Moly The dendro sisters ('shroom food, thanks Hermit) Random platy, gonis, and a chalice (cooked Christmas 2018) Killer green 'shrooms Whew! Well, there it is. My office nightstand nugget. Comments and suggestions are definitely welcome, especially since this is my first tank. (There's one at home, but I'm not allowed to touch anything wet...just program pumps and wire thingies. Tech skillz, yo.) Looking very forward to nerding out with all of you and learning from all you Reef Masters.
