Hey, everyone I'm kinda new here. I've bought a few corals from people on here in the past but I'm not sure I've ever posted. Trying to be a little more active in the hobby so thought I'd post up my tank. Don't see a lot of nanos on here so it's something a bit different.

Started the tank back on January 2nd 2015 and the tank went through a move in 2017. It's the first reef tank I've really had and it's been a mostly fun and positive experience. I've had a few fish not make it and a few coral losses as well but no crashes yet hmmm *knocks on wood*.

Equipment:
  • Light - 24in Photon V2
  • Skimmer - Hydor Nano
  • Return Pump - Rio 1400
  • Overflow Eshopps HOB Nano
  • Powerhead - Jebao RW4 ( I think)
  • Sump - Custom 10G with custom algae scrubber
Livestock:
  • 1 Clownfish, 1 Black Clownfish
  • 1 Yellow Clown Goby
  • 1 Cleaner Shrimp
  • 3 Blue Leg Hermits
  • Misc Snails
LPS:​
  • Purple Tip Frogspawn
  • Hammer
  • Duncan
  • Neon Green Candy Canes
  • Acans
  • Purple Blasto
  • Red + Green Blasto
  • Green Goniopora
SPS:​
  • Purple Montipora Cap
  • Purple Encrusting Montipora
  • Purple Digitata
  • Forest Fire Digitata
  • Green Birdsnest
  • A blueish cyphastrea
  • Green porities
Softies and Anemones:​
  • Green Sinularia
  • Neon Green Toadstool
  • Kenya Tree
  • Pulsing Xenia
  • Assorted Zoas
  • Assorted Mushrooms
  • A bit of GSP
  • Purple Gorgonian
  • 3 Different Rock Flower Nems

Pictures from over the years, hope you enjoy!

Looks great. Nice work! Cool how your crab lives in the Duncan’s?

Thanks! Yeah he lived in there for awhile but then one day disappeared and I haven't seen him in a few months sadly. Currently my clowns actually hang out in there, which is pretty fun to watch ha.2475
 
Thanks! I need to get a more updated shot as my birdsnest started STNing and so I had to frag it up. Going to use the space though to add some different color sticks.
 
Nice! I also have a 29 Gallon nano. Do you like the depth/height ratio? Sometimes I wish I had gone with a 40 breeder instead.

Thanks! Well I like the width and height I really wish is was deeper front to back but do I like it more than a 20L just because of the extra room up top. I would much rather have a 40 breeder but I went super cheap with everything when I got the tank 5 years ago and now I am in an apartment with a 20G limit so I am already pushing the limits there.

For my next tank I will either go with a 40 breeder or I really like the dimensions on the Cadlights 70 but obviously a good bit more money.

Do you have a build thread?

I don't have a thread for my 29 gallon, but I am in the process of starting a 75-gallon build, so I think I may create a build thread on Reef2Reef or here!
