20g BB SPS nano

[Flint&Eric]

after a brief stint away from the hobby, i began to miss it....luckily i had lots of equipment laying around so we set this up. i've always loved nanos

about 4 months ago we got a bad batch of salt and lost several colonies, we're slowly rebuilding and the corals have just recently bounced back and have begun to take off again.

stats:

20g H AGA tank
CPR backpack skimmer w/ mj1200
2x 6025 tunze nanostreams
nova 4x24 watt T5HO

~20lbs LR

livestock:
1 yellow tang
2 onyx perc clowns
2 green chromis
1 cleaner shrimo
2 turbo snails
1 astrea and nassarius

rainbow ric
misc zoa frags, tubs, fire&ice, etc.. (thanks adam)
chips acro colony
purple tricolor acro
purple rimmed m.cap
green and pink pocci

i apologize for the bad pics, they're cloudy....was doing a waterchange...



last month? with mj1200's


1 months growth...july to august m.cap





the tank houses my yellow tang that i have had for a long time...was previously in my 125...when i got him he was about the size of my fingernail and i thought he was a gonner for sure...after force feeding him and getting over some HILLE hes healthy as can be...cant wait to get the new set up for him.

is this a joke? did u seriously stuff al that in there?

[Flint&Eric]

not at all...just sharing my tank. i never come to these forums and saw a bunch of very cool nano's and thought i'd share mine...

[kkyyllee]

well you stuffed a tang in there, it will die of stress if left in there, u must have to do crazy water changes to keep up with the bioload

[Flint&Eric]

thank you for the concern, i am well aware of the effects. this tank is only temporary until my new tank is built. i saved this fish, as he was shipped way to small and i literally used a pipette to forcefeed him as he refused to eat after shipping trauma. then again you'd know all that if you actually read my post.

the tank is low nutrient (.o4 po4, o-3 no3) and receives weekly 20% waterchanges. the only reason you see algae on the bottom glass from the earlier m.cap pic is from an OD of amino acids oops.

next time flash your badge, i did not know you were a member of the tang police

Back off Kkyyllee, this guy is on my local forum and knows his stuff, he has helped me a time or two

Flint&Eric, looking good man! Love the Onyx, my little guy is getting bigger and looking better every day.

[ezcompany]

gorgeous looking cap

[Flint&Eric]

colinadam- hehe thanks, good to see you on other forums. it seems cmas is the only forum many people visit.

ez- i appreciate it.

it's actually green with a pink/purple rim...the colors arent captured due to the combo of myself and my point and shoot.

The aquascaping is amazing!!! This would look great in a tall circular tank I think. Keep posting more pics (maybe a fts from just level in front?) Also, Rooney and the Red Devils are so sick!!!!

[Flint&Eric]

tballa- thanks...i'm red through and through. i'm hoping tevez and rooney can link up...i'm doubting it, but keeping my fingers crossed. they're both very dynamic, will prove interesting to see them both on the pitch.

i'll try and have a friend snap some pics or borrow a better camera.

Love ur tank..

[Steven0000]

nice tank

i like how you chose not to add sand
don't see that much

very nice coral placement and as well

[Andrew]

Wow! I really like the simple aquascaping and the simple set-up. Keep us updated as you stock it up.

[MrMexReefer]

wow. beautiful tank! We need some more pics man! I cant believe thats just a 20.

[mrapisura]

Nice aquascape. Is that just two big pieces of LR in there? I like that look.

[Flint&Eric]

thanks for the kind words guys. yes, just two big pieces of rock.

juan, smack the 'can for me...indiana?

there will only be a tort, soli, insignis, and granulosa being added. possibly a caroliniana if i can one like the colony i lost... i like fewer large corals.

here's a pic pre-mini crash after changing the placement of some corals...you can see how much they have grown and my favorite piece that i lost....

nice simple tank i like it...


rods fish?

[Flint&Eric]

i purchased them from a local under that name...but the female has lost some black...not too sure anymore. if they are or not i dont mind, they are great fish.

[Paikuhan]

Looks real good love the nice clean look.

[GSMguy]

those look like rods to me... nice pickup

[Lagger]

I'll be the 1st to say it, Tang in a 20 ey......j/p. someone's gotta bust your chops

Nice tank Is that the magical rock I keep hearing about? The one that grows corals...

[burton14e7]

I love the look of just 2 piece of rock towering in the tank. It's pretty tight.

[Aquaticman74]

Love it! It looks like you can squeeze a couple more frags in there.

I've got a soli that is healing from a bad kalk OD. I can get you a frag when it heals if you like?

[Flint&Eric]

thanks for the offer, i may have to take you up on it

i wont be fragging for a little while yet, but if you want any frags of my pieces...lmk.

[Aquaticman74]

If you want, I have three very small frags for you.

1)Blue tip Kimbeensis
2)Green/Purple tip Soli
3)Green/Blue tip Batunai

I just glued them down on some rubble. If you want them, I'll send you a pm when they are ready.
