Tff Member's Nano Tanks

[steelhealr]

Based on the interest of our members, I am going to start and pin a compendium of our member's nano reef tanks. Please read the following rules carefully or posts will be deleted. This thread is meant to document the beauty and work that some of our members have put into their tank.

RULES

1.Members' submissions must be from their own tanks.

2. Submissions should contain photos of their tanks and completion of a 'tank specs' form that can be copied and pasted from the sample below.

3. Refrain from posting any comments or questions on this thread. These will be deleted. If you have any questions about a particular member's tank, PM them directly with your inquiries. Do not post your submission here if you will not have the courtesy to respond to questions. By posting here, you accept the responsibility of helping your fellow TFF members. Take pride in your tank. Help others to enjoy the same success that you've had by responding. You maintain the ability to edit the thread as needed.

4. Criteria for posting:

• Tanks must be 30 gallons or less.
• You may submit more than one tank on separate posts (eg, if you own a nano and pico)
• At the present time, nano reef tanks only.
• The tank must be owned and maintained by the person posting the submission.
• If your tank does not include an item, you may place N/A next to the spec(eg, if you don't have a refugium)
• If your setup included a graphic 'sketchup' done by yourself, you may include it
• Please disable emoticons to keep the thread looking clean. You may keep your signature.

5. There will be a ZERO TOLERANCE attitude for dishonesty. This undermines all the hard work of the other posting members here. If a submission does not look genuine, or, written material appears to have been plagiarized, that member may be questioned by either myself or Navarre. If doubt exists, the post maybe deleted. If a post is confirmed as false by either or both mods, the member will be warned and may face disciplinary action.

[Mr Miagi]

Tank: Glass, Central Brace, Euro Brace 2cms in Diameter

Volume: 20 Gallons

Lighting: Spectrum Unknown, 30W T8 each x 4, No cooling, 3” (8cm’s) from Water Surface

Filtration: - Approx. 12-20 Kilos of LR. External Eheim Canister Filter.

Refugium: None at the moment. Hoping to get one installed this year. Most likely a design from Melev and his site dedicated to Sumps.

Substrate: - Fine Sand (1mm-2mm Grain)

Aquascape Theme: - Mixed Reef

Equipment: - Heater and Internal circulation power head Rated 1200gph (12X Turnover from Power head alone).

Skimmer: - I do not skim.

Water Parameters:
Average temp: Ranges from 26-29C During Summer
pH: 8.2
average nitrate level: 0-10ppm (Mostly 0, 10 after heavy coral feed)
Calcium: 400-450
kH: 143.2
specific gravity: 1.027

Corals: - Plate Coral, Button Coral, Flower Pot (Spawned), Mushrooms, Open Brain, Brain Coral, Star Polyps, and more.

Fish: Two Clowns and One Dwarf Lion Fish.

Feeding: Feeding Fish once every second day, corals once every three days. I use pellets, Flake, Frozen and Live Brine Shrimp for the fish, And Coral Food includes Frozen Shrimp and Fish Flesh.

Maintenance: RO water used for daily top-up. NSW (Natural Sea Water) used for monthly water change of approx. 50%.

Comments: - I bought this tank complete off a fellow hobbyist. It was a good way of starting the hobby.

Since I set up the tank, I have had some success and some failures. Failures are inevitable but can down your spirits. Great successes on the other hand make the hobby worthwhile.

I have made a year plan on what I would like to accomplish and purchase. As well, I have placed them in logical sequence so my tank can be at optimum for as long as possible, and that my in-habitants gain the most benefit. These steps include buying my own RO unit, getting a sump built, increasing my current tank size by 2” in depth to fit the stand, buying a top-up system, and then lastly replacing lighting.

A big Thanks, to all who encouraged me over the edge to marine (SH, Navarre, and Parker313 to name but a few). Thank you very much. It has been worth it!

Substrate:
TMC White Coral Sand, 1-2" depth.

Aquascape Theme:
My aim was simply to make the tank look bigger than it really was and I think i have achieved this well. As long as it doesnt go horribly wrong I dont mind what "Theme" it is!

Equipment:
Rena 25W Heater
Evaporation Tray (cleaned alot)

Skimmers:
TMC Sander Maxi-Skim 200 (on only during the day)

Water Parameters:
Average temp - 24
pH - 8.2
average nitrate level - Less than .5ppm if i keep up with weekly water change.
Calcium - don't test it
kH - Same
specific gravity - 1.026

Corals:
Pussey Coral
Leather Toadstool
Red Finger Gorgonia
Orange Tree Gorgonia
Red Polyp Zoanthids
Yellow Polyp Zoanthids
Orange Polyp Zoanthids
Giant Green Button polyps
Red-Sea Silver Xenia
Green Star Polyps

Feeding:
I feed 1-2 times a day from a syringe which contains a mix of frozen plankton, mussel and brineshrimp.
I also feed Salifert Coral Food and Salifert All-In-One 1-2 times a week.

Maintenance:
I usually change about 10% of the water once a week and top up as needed (usually 1-2 times a week). I use TMC Tropic Marin Salt and Local Tap water with NOTHING added. I use a very powerful tap to expel the chlorine, then drip feed it into my tank with a bit of air-line.

Comments:
I researched alot before i got this tank and thankfully it paid off. I have had very few problems and a seemingly quite mature tank after only a little over 6 months. I hope to move onto a bigger tank at some point, possibly a 2ft cube i have in the garage...

Thanks to everyone on here who replied to my Diary post as it has inspired me alot.

 

[steelhealr]

Tank: 2005 JBJ 24G Nano Cube with LED Moonlights

Volume: 24G (actual volume is reported at 18G)

Lighting: stock lighting, 72 watts 50/50 actinic 10,000K PC; lighting interval 12 hours daily; dual fans

Filtration: 20lbs live rock from Premiumaquatics.com, Kaelini, Marshall Islands and Fiji. Additional 3lbs added, Solomon Islands. 3lbs live rock rubble. 3 rear chambers modified as follows:
Chamber 1: stock pump, 295gph, ChemiPure, Purigen, SeaGel, Algone, filter fiber changed weekly
Chamber 2: LR rubble, chaetomorpha, temp and pH probes, external fuge light, 27Watts PC 10,000K
Chamber 3: Maxijet 1200, 295gph, heater, Hydor Flo outflow nozzle
Total circulation about 590gph. No ceramics, bioballs or sponges.

Refugium: Converted rear middle chamber as described above.

Substrate: 20lbs Caribsea Arag-Alive aragonite sand; 3 lbs fine sand from established tank; depth about 1-1 1/2 inches

Aquascape Theme: I attempted to create an atoll or 'C'-shaped design in order to provide areas of low flow if needed for particular corals and an area of open sandbed for bottom dwelling corals. Desperately tried to avoid the clump of rock look.

Equipment: Ebo Jager 100 watt heater, DIY'd a plastic manual topoff container, PinPoint pH probe and Coralife digital thermometer, backup LCD thermometer.

Skimmers: Nanobob surface skimmer; AquaC Remora protein skimmer. I do not skim continuously and rely mostly on water changes. If skimming is necessary I do it the next day after feeding.

Water Parameters:
Average temp: 81.5-82.7 F
pH: 8.2
average nitrate level: presently 0-10; have reached 15-20 with closure of corals
Calcium: 380 ppm
kH: 8-9
specific gravity: 1.026

Corals:

Softies

• Zoanthids
• Ricordea florida
• Organ Pipe
• Various color mushrooms
• Yellow Fiji leather
• Spaghetti Finger leather

LPS

• Open brain, wellsophyllia
• Closed brain, favites
• Orange plate coral
• Anchor coral
• Acanthastrea echinata
• Orange tube coral
• Trumpet Coral
• Fox Coral

Fish:
Sixline wrasse
Banggai Cardinalfish
True Percula Clownfish
Yashia Haze Goby/Randall's pistol shrimp


Invertebrates:
Astrea snails
Red legged hermit
Blue legged hermits
Trochus snails
Nassarius snails
Scarlet Skunk Cleaner
Brittle star (hitchhiker)
Randall's banded pistol shrimp
Black Longspine urchin

Feeding: I try to feed every other day. I rotate between Ocean Formula II flake, Nutrafin Slow Sinking pellet and mysid and enriched brine shrimp for the fish. Occassionally I put a shrimp pellet in the goby/shrimp's cave. I spot feed the tube coral with varying mixtures of Cyclopeeze, mysid shrimp, enriched brine and baby brine shrimp. I stopped using plankton after I lost all filter feeders. I use a 'veggie' clip to put nori in the tank to supplement the urchin.

Maintenance: Weekly 17% water changes; RO/DI water from a six stage AquaSafe filter; Reef Crystals sea salt. I have recently started to try weekly filter fiber changes.

Comments: Early NanoCube 24G's had problems with cracking. Make sure you buy a 2006 version which comes with a skimmer and serial number. Nano reefs are not easy to maintain at times and require dedication to maintenance. If you are going to start one firstoff instead of going with a larger tank, I STRONGLY URGE YOU to read and research for several weeks and develop a plan. My nano cube sat in it's box for over a month before setup. Despite how nice the tank may look to some, there have been many critical moments where the tank could have crashed. Don't let the small size fool you and your wallet into thinking that a smaller tank is cheaper. I got my beginnings in the TFF FW section. Salt and fresh give you a unique vantage point on the biotopes of both water environments. SH

Aquascape Theme: - A typical nano reef ecosystem supporting fish, invertabrates and corals.

Equipment: - 75w heater, no chiller, no probes.

Skimmers: - No skimmer (weekly water changes suffice)

Water Parameters:
Average temp: 26C/79F

Comments: - My first SW tank and more an experiment for experience. Nano reef was said by many to be the hardest of aquariums to keep and I was up to the challenge. The tank itself was still simple as I chose some of the most easiest corals/creatures to keep. All in all it was a success, no deaths were experienced and it gave me enough experience to furthur into other fields of SW aquaria.

[Musho3210]

Tank: - All glass aquarium

Volume: 20 gallons H

Lighting: - Sunpod, 14,000k powerpaq light, 150, 6 inches above water, a 4 inch or 3 inch fan that came with the light and a desk light that blows near the lightbulb, 6-7 hours a day.

Filtration: - 25-30 pounds of live rock (the person i bought it off from said it was 30 pounds but i didnt use a piece and gave that piece away), a bag of phosban and a bag of activated carbon, and a maxi-jet 1200 for flow, i plan on upgrading to a hydor koralia 2 one day though. I have no idea where my rock is from, probably fiji, doesnt look caribbean to me.... I got the rock out of a guys refugium so it has SO many pods. When i get fish they will feast like a king.

Refugium: - N/A

Substrate: - Dry aragonite oolictic sand, 25 pounds, about 1-2 inches deep at someplaces and up to 30 inches in other places, white natural color, and a cup of live sand i got from the person who sold me the live rock.

Aquascape Theme: - I tried to achieve 2 separate hills with a flat bridge to go in between the hills so i have a cave under the bridge and a flat surface to put my corals on. I got what i wanted but not quite as how i thought it would be.

Equipment: - 1 visi-therm 100 heater and a 4" fan

Fish: Not for a while

Invertebrates: I have 6 (scratch that, 7) anstrea snails (i bought 6, put 6 in my tank, next day i found 7, no idea how....) and 6 blue legged hermits (no special duplicating with them)

Feeding: schedule, type, plankton, methods: I put a small sheet of that algae stuff for my clean-up crew

Maintenance:: water change volume and frequency, salt mix type, equipment, RO filter type or water source: I change 15-25% a week, i use reef crystals salt and maintain it at 1.024 S.G using a milwaukee refractometer, and i have my own RO/DI filter which i obviously use.

Comments: - Started not that long ago, plan on a mainly lps reef with a few zoas here and there and a few shrooms here and there. I want torch, candy cane, frogspawn, bubble, and brain, it might not work but that is what i want, not what i know i will get.

My camera is charging, i will be back with updated pictures, all i have now are old pictures of a cloudy tank.... Spent 7 months researching and i feel that i am ready for a FOWLR but still need to get some experiance before i go with reef.
