My 25G Nano :)

murphreef · 03/14/2018, 10:29 PM

Well finally felt like posting a few pics of my nano..... Not the best pics cuz cell phone and LED lighting = bad idea!

Anyways tank has been up almost a year now.

25G Lagoon AIO set up with ghost skimmer, smart auto top off, media reactor, 2 part auto dosing system, Eco XR15 Gen 4 LED couple jebao pumps etc.

Fish - Clown, star leaopard, 2 anthias, green chromis and yellow goby

Corals - wayyyyy too many to list from SPS to LPS to Softies I got it all even a clam and 2 RBTA which the clown host.

I have so much stuff in this little tank it amazes me haha, this is probably my 6th tank so I know what I am doing but this is my smallest tank and still loads of fun all smashed into one small set up,

Thx! Hard to capture color etc with LED lights and crappy cell phone.

But things have been doing quite good.... just no more room haha

What lighting do you use?

Wow, great looking tank! Nicely done. I LOVE your red montipora. What light do you use and how long did it take to get that large?

I use the Radion XR15 Gen 4 light. I just recently switched to this light maybe 8 weeks ago. Before I was using a 250W Radium 20K pendant over this small tank.

Love MH but hated the excessive heat and the power bill each month. So I ponied up the $400 and went with this light. I think within the last week or so my corals have really started to flourish again with the new lighting. Took them a little time to get used to the switch etc.

I run it on SPS AB+ programming 10 hours a day @ 100% which seems to use around 63W of power. Great thing is no extra fan to cool the tank down and my auto top off last almost 3 weeks (I have a 6 gallon container under the stand).

Well thank you! The cap has been in the tank almost since I started it up. It really has grown in nicely and I have even fraged it a few times so far. It has finally touched the side glass and I can no longer get my mag float over on that side. Oh well I like the "grown" in look. Only issue is it's pretty strong coral so when it runs into other corals like my Anacapora and my pink polyp monti it stings and kills them and then grows on it.

Back in my old 180 I had a huge Orange Cap probably around 20" in diameter with 5 to 6 levels and a total height of like 12" Took up a big section in my tank but looked so awesome. I guess caps like me

The one that came with the tank. Thinking of upgrading to a Sicce 1.5 but just been too lazy to mess with the tank.
