After researching and planning for months, I've finally put it all together... Here are some pictures of my nano. I just added the rock on Sunday (the water and sand were put in a few days before). Here are the specs:
*10 gal. AGA & glass hood
*21 lbs of figi live rock (cured from local LFS- took 15 minutes to get it home and in the tank)
*10 lbs aragonite sand
*Coralife 96W 50/50 light strip
*Moonlight from Captive Reefs (Thanks Darin!)
*2 Azoo 180 PH
*CPR 18.5" Aquafuge
*2 Ebo 50 watt heaters
*For Christmas... an air stone driven skimmer that will fit in the fuge.
My rock has lots of pods, a couple tiny feather dusters and a limpet! That's all I've seen so far...
I did my first tests last night:
Ammonia/Nitrites/Nitrates: all 0
Calcium 450
pH 8.1
kH 9.6
Alk 3.43
Salinity 1.022 (will be topping off with salt water to get that up to 1.025)
I think that's it. I welcome all suggestions comments etc. I am especially interested to hear your suggestions about PH placement and aquascaping.. Well, here's the pictures. Thanks for your help and advice!
