Yo~ :heh:

My office reef has been expanding for quite a bit, and I find it a little taxing to manage 2 tanks of similar size (one at home), so I decided to downsize. Details of the tank and setup are as follows:

Dimensions: 18" x 18" x 12" with 6" IOS (display area = 18" x 12" x 12"), 3-sided crystal glass, 6mm glass thickness

Lighting: LumenAqua Max 300 LEDs & 2x CREE Royal Blue LED moonlights.

Filtration: Filter wool (mechanical), live rocks, live sand & Biohomme (biological), carbon (chemical)

Skimmer: Bubble Magus NAC 3.5 Cone skimmer No skimmer at this present moment

Temperature control: Office A/C during office hours, Sunon fan Ice Probe on digital timer during off-office hours and weekends

Nutrient export: Cheato, lit by JBJ Nano Glo LEDs (may explore algae scrubber options should there be a need)

Auto Top Off: Tunze Osmolator Universal 3155 with reservoir jerry can

Wave maker: Ecotech Marine Vortech MP10

Return pump: Ehiem Compact 1000

Dosing plans: Grotech Coral A, B, & C, Brightwell Aquatics Coral Amino, Tropic Marin Iodine, Sodium Ascorbate (as needed)

Currently going through cycling. Dosed Prodibio Bio Digest & Bio Tim and dumped a market prawn to kick start the cycle. Stocking plans are a pair of Yasha gobies with randal's pistol shrimp, yellow neon goby, green banded goby, and prolly a Helfrich goby. Clean up crew will consist of nassarius and turbo snails. I might add a hermit and a pom pom crab.

Some photos of the tank...

I did a simple DIY burrow for the Yashas with PVC elbows, pipe and T-joint. Kneaded and stuck some epoxy to the entrance of the burrow to break the shape so that it doesn't appear too artificially constructed. Glued some sand to the epoxy for added camouflage.

YJ, very sweeeeee !!!!:welldone:

you are defintely a nano specialist now.. :)

thumbs up on the burrow too. great planning & consideration for the fishes.

I like the shimmering effect created by the water surface movement .

too bad my office has very frequent power shutdown. Else I would set up one too !

Eqpt: Deltec MCE 600, Tunze 6055 with Tunze 7091 controller, Artica 1/15 HP chiller, AquaIllumination Sol Blue LED Light System

Hey hey! It is very difficult to take a good picture with all that shimmering. The LumenAqua Max uses a thick sheet of acrylic to act as a light diffuser, but the LEDs are still very pin-point, hence the shimmer. Quite glaring actually, with the white sand... not sure how long the sand will stay white! :lol:

Thanks for dropping by, Larry! I catered the center section of the filter compartment for the skimmer. Fits the BM NAC 3.5 nicely. I do have some micro bubble issues at present... hopefully it will be gone after it runs in.
