Nealio's 15G Nano-Reef Build

Very nice so far. It is interesting to see what can be done with that tank shape.

 

I'm going to start this thread with an apology. I have dozens of pictures of my tank, and I've forgotten to upload them at this time. I promise to get them up for you all soon.

With that being said, the tank is looking great! I have A LOT of new corals, and I meant a friggin' lot. Mostly frags of Zoa, some Monti, and some other unidentified SPS. I also got several mushrooms and a small acan colony. I'm also attempting to nurse a nearly dead red lobo brain back to life after nearly croaking during a tank move. There is a very tiny bit of flesh in the middle of the skeleton, we'll see if my tank parameters and high lighting can do anything to bring it back from the brink.

In livestock news, I had to scoop my clown and my shrimp out of the overflow over the weekend. I'm not sure what got into the both of them, but they decided it would be fun to be trapped in a 4" piece of PVC. More importantly, I just got done acclimating and adding a pygmy angelfish to my tank. It's very good looking, and I'm hoping that by feeding heavy, he'll leave my coral collection alone. If not, back to the LFS with him. I'm hoping it'll work out though, I've heard from many other reefers that they do fine as long as you keep them fed.

 

have you never seen finding nemo? all drains lead to the ocean duh lol

 

You are seriously like the 18th person to tell me that!

I just thought it was a little strange that both of them decided to go in on the same day.

 

Well.... it's kind of boring to take such a trip alone

 

Massive picture update!!!

I got a lot of new coral including hammer, frogspawn, acans, and some awesome Zoa's (including some Armageddons!). I also got a sweet ass little blenny.

 

nice additions bro, do you run a filter sock and or purigen, might help clear that water up a bit for ya if ur not.

 

I just got done reworking the rocks when I took the pictures, and I managed to stir up all the sediment while doing it. The tank was clear as of this morning.

 

ah that makes more sense

 

Nice work, Nealio! I love the final aquascape and with a full frag rack, what else could you possibly ask for?! Very impressive, dude!! I hope you keep us posted as you have done so far.

I enjoy your builds very much.
