I have used rubble in the back of nanos before and I always got rid of it. It becomes a nitrate trap over time and is just not worth it. They make underwater led lights that you can use in your media basket with some chaeto if you want to go for a fuge. We have always used and liked chemi...

Not a ton of room at all, maybe something HOB, but even then you need some room for the pump and the return area. You might just have to be diligent on your water changes.

What is the biggest circumference that will fit in the back?

Do you have a link or a pic? Interested to see it. Thank you guys, the tank is coming along really well, I had to recharge the camera battery last night but I should be able to get some good DSLR pics up in the next few days.

Sunday funday in tank land. We were busy last weekend so a bunch of stuff got pushed to today which was not big deal, it was just tank time. We siphoned the frag tank and our refugium out, cleaned the skimmer and some reactors, and took care of some frags in the frag tank. We had a group of...

Watching the masters and then tank time. Siphon, water change and moving some fish around.

Looks great, great job

Thanks guys, I will have to talk to my buddy and see what his price range and size range is.

I have a friend of mine who is looking for a corner tank. If anyone has one or knows of one in the area shoot me a pm. Thank you.

I agree with Paul, those aren't really T5 bulbs, they are T12 bulbs which are shorter. There are not a lot of bulb options out there for them, and they are not really wide spread in the hobby. Also, 2 of them aren't really going to be suitable for much, were the kessil you already have a light...

That is pretty normal, just keep an eye on your params and you should be fine. All of those corals like to be fed so I am sure they are enjoying it.

@dnov99 just starting using it and had a write up about it on FB, positive results.

How many bulbs would it come with and what size are they?

What kinds of corals and what are you feeding? Some NPS corals cannot digest the food fast enough and can die off from over feeding. As others have mentioned, water params are important to monitor when you start feeding something new.

How old are your sandbed and rocks? Do you do any maintenance on them?

I think that was the reason we did not setup the basket and passed it along. If we had kept the tank long term (we gave it to Karen when we won a tank at MACNA), we would have replaced the skimmer and run the basket. The baskets really do help.

After adding a bigger fuge to my setup, and talking to people who have done the same recently, I would recommend that direction. I tried the egg crate in the sump type thing and as other said it was not enough. I would look at the algae scrubbers/reactors out there and give one a try. I also...

Glad to see this tank is still going, you are the 4th NJRC person to have it (that I know of). I am not a modder but, could you use the kessil gooseneck fitting on the back of the tank to avoid handing it from the ceiling and then cut a whole in the lid for it? The skimmer is know to not be...

We have had nano tanks for years and one of the biggest issues is salinity if you do not have an ato. Given the small volume of water, salinity can swing quickly which is not good for your fish and corals. Tiny clowns can be tough because feeding them can be difficult. Hopefully he was just...

Really cool setup and very nice on setting up your own controller. I am a big fan of the kessil light on our nano, seems like they do very well for you too.
