Dear all
I'm getting ready to move again and the 3/4 year moving cycle means I am getting through a lot of tanks as I can't take them with me.
I thought that the best solution to this would be to design a nano tank of a size that I can actually get the packers to bring.
I am limited to size but want to re-use a lot of my current equipment so that the tank is very high spec. The tank will be primarily Zoas, Discosoma and Ricordea Yuma.
The size I was thinking of is 16x12x15 (H). The tank would be 16 inches front to back and would have a 12 inch viewing window at the front. The rear glass would be smoked to help with the illusion of depth.
The tank would be an overflow and would first flow into a fuge/DSB and from there into the sump. I would use a BubbleMagus NAC 6a as skimmer and a fluidised phosphate reactor in sump.
I am unsure of what lighting to have over this, but have a 250W HQI unit that is spare at the moment.
I am stuck over water movement as that tanks is so small. Do I go with a Vortech MP10 or Korallia nanos?
Any thoughts on the setup/advice gratefully received.
