Millenia's tanks

[Millenia]

Alrighty, well I dove straight into building a 10g nano reef as my first salt tank a year and a half ago. but why I never posted on here uh I guess you can call me lazy, mostly lazy lol And during that year ive had lots of ups and downs, have lost acouple fish, crabs and shrimp but havent lost any corals yet thankfully. but ill have to credit to thrawn as his help pretty much sparked this whole adventure in the first place. Ok so here is what I had on my 10g
10g
Lighting: Aquasun dual t5 HO
Filters: Aquaclear 20; Aqueon 10
Aqueon Pro 100w heater
Koralia nano 240gph power head
roughly 10lbs of rock
Super fine white sand

Livestock:
1 Clownfish (had two, but one committed suicide awhile ago)
1 turbo snail
random cuc
Torch
Frogspawn
Yellow polyp
unknown green zoa
Duncans
green star polyp
Unknown Sps

I finally decide to transfer everything over to my 20l just two weeks ago, and to my surprise it turned out better then I had hoped. The nano is still up and running for future projects. but here is my 20l

20l
lighting: Aquasun dual t5 HO
Filters: aquaclear 20; aqueon 30
Aqueon Pro 100w heater
Koralia nano 240gph powerhead
15lb~ of rock
1in 1/2 aragonite sand

Livestock
clownfish
squareback anthias (temp)
Orange spotted goby
Coral banded shrimp
harlequin serpent starfish (will move to bigger tank)
Anemone crab
Rock anemone
Torch
bubble coral
frogspawn
green star polyps
yellow polyps
AOG zoa
unknown green zoa
Unknown Sps

Sps got stung from the torch in the 10g

Everything is growing and heathly at this time, fragging corals is the next step im trying to attempt
And my lonely 10g cycling back up

And my next projects will be slowly pieced together and my reef will yet again be upgraded in the future so I will be forever broke

Oh wow, your 20l looks great! Glad you started posting and welcome to RF. Better late than never!

We are all forever broke in this hobby! LOL!

Tank looks great. Fyi, if you didnt already know, your square spot anthias is a male. The sps coral, someone here should know, im not good with coral names, my guess, staghorn mayne or a birds nest of some sort?

 

[Katchupoy]

what are your plans on your lighting?

 

[Millenia]

Thanks, Im really shooting for building my own leds with moon lighting when I upgrade the tank again. For now the t5s seem to be doing to job alright

is ur project gonna include a DT and that smaller tank for a sump?

I have the same pink spot anthias! Its in a 75g though~! Beautiful fish!!!!

Love the crab with the rock nem too!

ur sps is encrusted and everything! A lil dull color but looks healthy! Good job and keep it up!!!!!! Hard to keep sps and nems in newer tanks imoe.

 

[Millenia]

Yeah my project will be a drilled 40b with im hoping a 30 sump. Thanks I must be doing something right for the sps to be growing lol. The crab was one of my favorites .... but...unfortunately the other day I found both his claws ripped off. Best guess is coral banded shrimp didn't like him so much. I had to throw him in the small tank. I'll keep an eye on the lil guy.

The smaller tank will be a quarantine tank for the 40 when that is set up

Great job on your builds, the fish and corals look very healthy indeed. You'll really like the 40B when aquascaping for its 18" front to back dimension.
