Got a Fluval Evo 13.5 for $100USD when it’s on sale. Immediately upgrade most of the equipments since I will be keeping corals in the near future. I had a 65G SPS reef tank for 5+ years before and call it quits last year since I don’t have time anymore and the tank was neglected. I got the itch again and decided to get back in with a nano reef since it’s smaller and doesn’t take long for maintenance.
This time around I’m automating as much of the tank as possible to prevent making it feel like a chore.
Equipments:
- Hipargero LED 60W on a mechanical timer.
- Stock return pump, although I have a cobalt maxi jet 1200 that I could use but for now the stock pump is sufficient.
- Aqamai KPS
- Intank chamber 1 media basket
- 100 watts cobalt heater
- Eheim automatic fish feeder
- Autoaqua nano ATO
- Dry rock with some live rock rubbles
- 20lbs live sand
Tank has been up for 2 weeks. Live stocks includes 2 oscellaris clownfish, 2 blue legged hermit crabs, a few pulsing xenia (eventually have to pull them because these will grow like weeds but I like the pulsing action). Will add more fish/ corals as tank matures.
