5g. I've Heard It's Not Easy To Keep So Small Reef Tank. That's Not True.

I have seen this tank in person and its fantastic!

 

[kapelan]

for a couple of buck bought this pump on ebay:

configured it as a Wave Maker:

Now, no idea why people are buying expensive staff for 200-400$.
The idea is simple - periodically On/Off.
Now playing with it - set 5 second On and 5 second Off.
Watching more movement from corals - looks like they like it

Hairy Mashroom (rhodactis )
Got it about 4-5 month ago 1.5-2", now it's about 4"
On video it's under different spectrum.
Glowing Neon Green under RoyalBlue or Ultra Violett.
Also looks nice with Red.

It about time your add more movement to the water , how are the corals looking! If it ok, than rise the light intensity up a little. Your sps will love it and respond back with better color and pe

Crank it up!, you want to see those waste on't the rock and sandbed move up so the filter or skimmer could take care of it. If you think a coral don't like to much flow than move that coral to an area with less flow, but don't turn the wave maker down as it help to keep the tank clean especially when keeping sps

This nano almost one year old:

Some corals started a fight - had to cut them off to enforce a peace

Now using a better design with more powerful pump.
Wave maker is just a timer that ON every 5-10 second.

Very nice build Igor

I am impressed, very nice tank! Can you advise which corals were fighting before?

 

[kapelan]

now Xenia is fighting with this red coral (do not know the name):

Xenia is winning.
