Here is a little build thread on my 15 gallon nano I started last month.
I wanted to find something that fit nicely on my kitchen counter, but was short enough for me to put to be able to handle the lights without overheating the tank.
I went to Pet Kingdom, measured out a whole bunch of tanks, and decided on a 15 gallon.
So far, the equipment is as follows
Koralife 425 gph powerhead
Tao-Tronics Dimmable 120w LED lights with optics
Coralife Superskimmer 65
50w Heater
10lbs of live rock
I want to do a half reef, half open nano. I am trying to do branching SPS on the rocks, and maybe a favia or a zoa rock in the open area.
5 weeks from my start day, here is how my tank looks.
My cycle ended at 4 weeks, and I began "slowly" stocking afterwards
After 1 week, the Green Birds Nest has visible growth and has begun to attach itself to the rock in a different location where I glued.
2.5 headed torch coral fully open.
My test piece of pocillopora I picked up at AquaSD. Has visibly grown a few branches
Pink Birds Nest and Idaho grape Montipora I picked up from Poakley723.
My resident tank *******, the tailspot blenny. He is a fatty and a little territorial if anyone gets close towards his hiding space under that rock.
Acro frags. A little visible growth on each after 1 week.
Rock Shots
A friend could not wait until his tank was ready. So here is his little frag corner.
