Official 17g Drop Off Tank Build Thread

[Premiumaq]

I know Premium has been absent on forums these days, so I am doing my best to get everyone caught up as well as be more active.
With that being said, we have a project going on! It is a Reef Crest Drop Off All-In-One 17 Gallon Acrylic Aquarium that Brandon gets to work on for the checkout counter at Premium Aquatics.

Here is what we are planning:
• 3 or 5 pipefish - Janns's flag tail or yellow multi banded
• Maybe a small goby when the correct season is here - gobies like the yasha or flaming prawn gobies are not available currently
• Sexy shrimp, porcelain crabs, Pom Pom crabs, Pederson shrimp
• NPS corals such as dendro, sun corals, Tigerskin gorgonians, carnations corals and more!
Here is what we have accomplished so far:


And we got our pipefish in today!


Stay tuned for updates and the final product!

sounds like it could be quite a bit of bioload for a 17, what are you doing for filtration?

I hear nano tank and NPS and in my head it registers in as a headache, but then again a tank that small some water changes can take care of all that bioload. It is a neat tank and that pipe fish is awesome!
