Eco Nano

[Morri]

I have been running a 100 gallon tank for a while due to a promotion at work I do not have the time to maintain the tank as well as it deserves

So I was going to quit but I noticed a few marks on my clowns so would not sell them then I decided to keep a couple of corals

This brings me to my tank of choice a 60L Juwel tank I have been using for water changes I do dislike the tank but it will do for now (keeping my eyes open for a cheap Lido

I have a hang on Mud filter that I will be using a bit big but it fits and will do the job nicely.

I have decided to go skimmerless as there are no skimmers that I would waste my money on for a tank this size

I have used some LR from my main tank and a couple of bags of sand

Light wise I have 2 aquarays to move from my main tank also

So here it is as of now this will change rapidly

To play it safe I will be doing a 10% water change twice a week for a month then drop down to one once it is all settled in.

Stock TBC as I sell off my other bits Clowns for sure

looks like quite a nice little tank...zoa garden?

 

[Morri]

Ehm well I have some corals that need some TLC and some I did nt want to give up

Will be LPS / Softies I have an Monti encrusting that looks pants so will try and recover that one before I sell on

I have a large Oxypora that also needs to recover

I will have a better view of what is going in there after the weekend

Need to do something with mounting the LEDs might be a bit messy to start out with

 

[Morri]

Here is a quick update this morning with my somewhat dubious woodworking skills I rigged up my LEDs

A couple of quick tests then I need to start adding some corals

 

[Morri]
