Starting my own reef build

nice, but I hope you understand nanos can be really hard to care for.

 

yep I know, it was a challenge with my 24 gallon but I wanted one with t-5s and just coral and I had the money laying around....

 

Update: So I went to fish store today because my friend is setting up a brackish tank and I saw a korialia section and saw one that was rated for 240gph but it had no price. So I went to the register and I said if its 30 or under I'll take it, what do you know 28.99. So I'm going to use that instead of the Rio that I had because its way to noisy. On a side note, I love this store because everything is so cheap, except they never have frags. But when they do its sweet, I paid about 10 for a three headed branching hammer coral and 5 for a finger leather coral. Then we went to another store and I was pricing for when my tank is running. 29 for a ricordia and 25 for a gsp that was about the size of a half dollar....rip off.

 

Few more pics now that everything is settled and my new pump is in there, and my cabinet is up. Sorry that my camera sucks, that box like light in the middle isn't there in real life, just in the pics. (strange)

 

Current stats: ammonia 1 ppm
Nitrate: 2.5 ppm
Nitrite: .25 ppm
I hate this part.....Tanks been up for about 4 days. I got blessed with my other tank, it cycled in about a week, hope this one is between 1-2 haha

 

Yay, another nano tank in the books. I personally love nanos myself, the extra challenge of keeping everything in check makes the payoff that much greater. Good luck with your new one and hope the cycling goes quick for you. Can't wait to see this stock full of corals and with the prices your talking about, it better be.

 

Ammonia has been above 8 for a few days now...I hate cycling....

 

Keep up the good work i should be starting to cycle my tank in the next week or two
will be good to see your progress

 

Awesome. We got a lot of nanos going up on this forum right now.

 

Nice tank man! Its addictining, if i did have my own house it would suck bc i would not be able to have all 5 million tanks and 100million gallons of saltwater lol
