Hi folks!
Lack of free space is what made me pursue Nano-reefing a few years ago. So a Nano Cube 12DX was started. After feeling the thrill of successfully keeping a nano reef thriving I decided to convert my FO marine tank into a mixed reef ( my 46 bow ). Then as my 29 FW suffered a crash I decided to put the survivors in a mini bow and put a 20long tank in its place. I really liked seeing pics of folks prop tanks. Just cool tanks set up to grow out frags, no pressure to keep it "just so" like a display tank, yet beautiful in their own right. So my little prop tank was born.
So this is an AGA 20L, with two modded ac110 HOB filters. The first has chambers for floss and chemi pure, heater and also a Sappire skimmer that was intended for an AP 24 ( I think LOL).This one also has the surface skimmer attachment. The second Ac110 has some rock rubble and chaeto with an 18w coralife fixture. I also drape floss over the "fence" of both as added mechanical filtration. The tank is lit by a 150w Sunpod with a Phoenix 14k bulb. OK, OK, enough right? Pics:
Fabbed some racks ( I removed the bottom rack before start up )
This was early on with a Viper clamped to the front :........
Tank suffered an outbreak after switching to the Sunpod
So we will fast forward to some recent pics in my next post!
I hope you like so far!
