| Advice: |
Take your time, Purchase your equipment wisely. If you try to cut costs in the beginning it will cost you more to fix the problems that will develop in the future from faulty or improper equimpment. If need be wait a few weeks more and save some extra money if neccessary. |

This is the most recent pic of my main tank! |
| About Yourself: |
I got into the hobby right out of college...Thought it would be fun to get a gold fish in a little 3 gallon aquarium and it just kind of exploded from there. I now have the nano reef, as well as two fresh water tanks and a couple of reptiles to go along with my cat. I work part time in the fish department of a local pet store and don't really consider it work. It's my hobby and I love seeing people get excited about fish and corals! |
| Advice: |
My advice is to take it slow, don't over feed, do it right, invest some money in the set up, read a book or two, don't rely entirely on the internet for resources because there is a lot of incorrect info out there, and most importantly TAKE IT SLOW AND DON'T OVER FEED! |
| Fish Kept: |
Fish kept: Yellow Watchmen Goby paired with a Michael's Target Pistol Shrimp, Green Clown Goby, Purple Fire Fish, Tail Spot Blenny, Skunk Cleaner Shrimp, Pom Pom Crab, Pink Emerald Crab, 2 margarita snails, 3 astrea snails, 1 turbo snail (off and on...replace when he dies and need another), 5 hermit crabs, Pink with Green center Tube Anemone |
| Corals/Plants Kept: |
Corals: Blastumossa Welsii, Blastumossa Merleti, Pavona Maldivensis, Orange Eye Chalice, Green Trachophylia/Wellsophyllia, Red and Green Trachophyllia, Candy Cane Calaustria (Trumpet), Blue Anthelia, Green Spongodes, Blue/Purple Mushrooms, Red Mushrooms, 2 or 3 different kinds of Zooanthids, Purple and Green Favia Brain, Metallic Green Star Polyps, Duncanopsammia (Duncan), Orange Carpet Lobophyllia, ....I think that's it |

| Description: |
This is a 10 Gallon tank with a 10 gallon Refugium and a 10 gallon sump. I am running Current USA CF lighting. Each fixture has 2 40 watt bulbs...one dual daylight and one dual actenic bulb. I run them on an alternating 12 hour cycle with dawn and dusk on the main tank. (The fuge is on at night and the main tank on during the day. I use coral life timers to run the lights and I prefer the manual ones to the digital just because they seem easier to use. I am pushing about 200 gallons per hour through the tank. Sound small but remember it is only about 22 gallons of water total in all three tanks. I have and Aqua C Urchin protein skimmer in the sump as well as a UV sterilizer. Don't ask what brand the sterilizer is because I don't know. I got it cheap at Petsmart. (Hey better then nothing!) I am running overflow boxes with aqualifter pumps on each of the top two tanks that drain to the sump. I am also running a AquaClear 20 hang on the back filter on the main tank. The media in that filter is just some Ceramic tiles I stole from my fluval on my fresh water tank and a sponge. I dose Kalkwasser and Kent's Essential Elements. Up and running just over a year. |
