Nano Reef, six gallons

Hello to all.
I wait for not being putting my Nano Reef in the wrong place, because he is very small and I can miss the place.

He has the measures of 30cmx30cmx35cm and in the end of the assembly it was with approximately 5,8 gallons.
The project I did, but who manufactured was a friend, he manufactures aquariums.

After ready it was like this...





The sump...





After the test with fresh water...









He was set up...

The Plenum...





The first layer



and the second layer...



and the assembly with just a rock to begin.





He was like this for four months, hoping I made the cover for the illumination...
And it was like this with the ready cover.



Always watched by my dogs;D;D



After ready it was like this...
I was also the part of low...









The assembly was made starting from other aquarium that I had and it was small, also of six gallons.










And it was made the change for the new reef











After one year and sixteen weeks it is like this...













Skimmer is an Airlift Berlin 60
The pump is a Quiet1one 800
The illumination
a HQI 70wats
a PL 26wats
And a compact one also of 26wats blue
The salt is synthetic, in the moment I am using OceanPure

I hope you like and excuse me the amount of pictures.
It is difficult to show the aquarium and not to count the history, even if summarized.

 

Oh my GOD! 8)

You have a 'green thumb' as the expression goes. All of your aquariums, including your freshwater planted tanks are SIMPLY AMAZING. This makes me want to do a rotating tank highlight on the homepage.

An old school aquarium with a plenum and air-driven skimmer. I love it!

 

Sweet!! Really nice

 

Thank you for the 'green thumb', I liked ;D;D
I am very happy that it pleases the work. It is very gratifying for me to know that the people like.
As I come from a time of the aquarium in that the assemblies gave right for the simplicity, I just added this simplicity with the current assembly pattern. And everything was easy.
With that, I end up counting more with the nature than with equipments.
And she difficultly will leave us for flaws. Being just enough to accomplish with the maintenances.
In this aquarium, since it was set up, just the partial changes are necessary. Also to clean the glasses and to wash the skimmer.

I have another very smaller aquarium of approximately two gallons.
That I set up because the big that I had left and I wanted to keep a fragment of a coral that was with me to years.
He appears beside the picture.

I don't show a lot him, for not motivating this assembly type.
But I can show. As curiosity.









Now the rocks had darkened and I don't get, with my camera to remove good pictures of him, but nothing changed in him. I just make partial changes.
In spite of me to have statement that it was set up for just a fragment, that it was the intention.
I ended up leaving more cheerful with some other minor.
And it was more similar to one nano reef.

 

Great pics indeed. All the corals look alive and healthy, great job! How often do you do WC's? Luna

 

Sweet....
