Aqua one AR550

[Darylb]

Has anyone set one of these up as a nano? I'm thinking of trying it as I have inherited the tank of my brother in law as a baby shower present it's currently got freshwater fish in it ATM but looking at a reef

 

[Darylb]

Sorry it's an AR510

 

[Darylb]

Well I bought the tank and have ordered a 165 watt dimmable full spectrum led hoping the will be here today or tomorrow just have to buy a skimmer for it

 

[Darylb]

I know I got no followers but I'm picking up some dry rock tomorrow I'm thinking 10-15kgs then ill but like 4kgs of live rock once it's full of water

 

[Macscale]

I've been looking, I just didn't have an answer to your question.

 

[Darylb]

No worries haha iv scraped the idea of the wet dry I'm just going to run a skimmer on it

 

[Macscale]

Sounds good, I've never heard of the tanks. What's the full name?

 

[Macscale]

Oh, it seems to be a 20g tank AIO. Sounds great though!!

 

[Darylb]

Yea they come as a kit sorta thing but I'm going to scrap the whole hood filter and light set up and customise it on my own

 

[Macscale]

That's probably a good choice!

 

[Darylb]

I'm gonna try make it an SPS tank with maybe 2 clown gobys

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

Clown gobies tend to nip at sps and if you happen to get a breeding pair they will lay there eggs on the sps killing that part of the coral

 

[Darylb]

Hmm maybe not clown gobys then any fish you would suggest?

 

[dingusplease]

I would say a fire fish would be great for this tank, and you would still have room to add on later. Btw, I'll be following! Definitely a cool build man

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

Hmm maybe not clown gobys then any fish you would suggest?

How about a green banded goby, yellow spot possum wrasse or Pygmy wrasse, and a tail spot blennie? I think that would be a nice combo, but there are lots if options check out liveaquaria.com for some more ideas

 

[Darylb]

Sweet ill have a look when I get home I just got some dry rock for the tank I'll be adding water Tuesday here's a pick so far still waiting for the LEDs to be delivered

 

[Macscale]

Looks nice! I like the tank a lot!

 

[Darylb]

Thanks man I'm really considering a fire fish for this tank

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

Keep the lid then, ff are notorious for carpet surfing

 

[Darylb]

Oh really I'm just thinking about the new led fixture and how to mount it I was thinking about pulling the flouros out and cutting the top of the lid so I can slip my led fixture in there only problem is it will be like 4inches from the surface
