Tropical Marine Nano

[Nymox]

Lots of Nano's being set up lately, so I thought I should share mine.

Tank dimensions: 430x390x260 mm

Lighting: 1 x T5 8W aqua red (?)

Filtration: Overflow and a sump made from 60 litre fish bin, lots and lots of live rock, huge skimmer.

Livestock: Odds and ends kindly donated to me, a big thanks to the guilty party.

Water movement is thanks to a spray bar and a tiny power head.

I plan to add a pair of Clarkii clownfish once I have a nice anemone for them to live in, and some Skunk cleaner shrimp too. There are already lots of pods so I am considering a mandarin fish over the clowns.

I am also considering getting a cube made but $$$ already seems to fly out of my pockets and into someone else's.

Some pics.

Here is the sump, ruff as I know but works beautifully.

Here are some pics of the tank and some of the stuff inside the tank.

Added that new piece of rock today, I hope it doesnt take too long to blend in :roll:

The Anemone in the top right hand corner just had a fight with a big aiptasia, no more aiptasia but it doesnt look well

I like this bright green spongy stuff.

These worms seem to be building a home out of the coral sand.

Tank has no real stand or background or anything until I know what I really know what to do with it, space is limited or I would have a larger tank but thats where the idea of the cube comes in. Could make a nice corner tank with a cube, still get some decent volume and save on a bit of space. At least this way I'm pretty much all set when I decide what to do. Open to suggestions.

How did you do your overflow?

How did you do your overflow?

Drilled a hole, added a hansen fitting.

I'm thinking abut a nano now. maybe 90-120l? enough for a couple of clowns and fire shrimp.
