New to forum but I've had my tank for a while. I have a 12-14? Gal nano cube tank. My son got me into the hobby and I've stood back while he made my tank capable of handling coral. We have done some pretty significant changes to the original setup which my son advertised as an easy all in one great for a person who doesn't want all the extraneous stuff associated with his large tank setup. Fortunately for me he has handled the modifications. The tank needed a chiller because of its original location in a house with no ac which was a great modification since it now sits in my high school science classroom which often does not have ac either. He retrofitted a very nice led lightight into the space where the old light fixture was in the hood. We are currently trying to get a wifi setup to hookup through the schools firewall so I can monitor from a far when class is not in session.
The tank has a pretty healthy supply of an assortment of corals that I keep forgetting the names of. Certainly a few varieties of mushrooms, a few zoos and the entire back wall of star polyps. I'll try to rember to take a photo to post.
I have only one fish at this time, a black clown that my students call black Nemo (kind of nice for my very diverse student population)
I had a pistol shrimp & goby pair but they died a couple of months ago and I haven't gotten around to find new friends for my fish that won't grow too big...Nemo is pushing the limits now but I'd hate to see him go as the kids like to see fish. And my two snails are pretty damn boring too. Ideas?
The daily temperature fluctuations of the school had been my biggest concern but I think we have it under control in the tank. The tank has been set up in the room for about a year now. I have to bring in my water as the old building has too much rust in the system. If any one has an ingenious way to tote the five gallon cubes I'd love too see it.
Well that about sums it up.
