Reefing Diary ~~~

[ReefzLover]

In the end came back to reefing once again. Love this hobby too much.

Due to work and family started a Skimz iBOX Nano recently "the bigger size one". Size of the tank is around 1ft cube with internal overflow.

Using the return pump provided by Skimz.

Changed the LED to LumenAqua Mini 30. 1 full blue and 1 mixed.

This time round no using of skimmer.

After adding water and liverocks........ to be continue !

I've seen this tank at AquaMarin. It is a neat tank but limited space for corals. Still a preferred choice comparing to the IQ5 in terms of size and function fit. Hope to see photos soon!

Tank with liverocks. Simple rockscape.

Blue light only and both lightings switch on.

Started with barebottom tank but still prefer to have some sand in it. So went to Madpetz , bought some CaribSea Super Naturals Tahitian Moon black sand for my nano.

Nice piece of liverock. You may want to add sand as a base. A sandbed brings numerous benefits to the reef aquarium, from improving biological filtration and providing habitat for a range of creatures to making the tank look more attractive. You can still add sand after placing your live rocks. In fact, better this way as the structure and foundation of the rocks cannot be undermined by burrowing creatures such as gobies.

Yup.. Will feed it with lots of corals food since I will keep quite a few LPS.
