FASTnDIRTY NANO REEF
Here's my simple reef tank... A small zoa frag from the last meeting, a snail, and a couple hermits that caught a ride on the rock from my other tank. I am hoping to get it stocked up soon... Thinking about just a simple Zoanthid reef, love the colors and simplicity...

I will keep that in mind... I have only one small orange zoanthid right now but maybe after my 125 is done I can ramp up the lighting...

gonna be pretty neat. looks like you need more sand. have you thought about taking the coral off the plugs and glue directly onto the rock. i think it would look cleaner and more natrual. just a thought

A few updates... I added another aquaclear 70 beside the first one... I made the second into a refugium. The original filter I added a DIY Skimmer... Seems to working nicely... After the first day it was already pulling out brownish yellow skimate... I am happy. Also added a variety of new coral frags, they all seem to be doing fine, I did have an aptasia growing from the base of a piece of coral but 2 days after adding a couple peppermint shrimp, it was gone and nothing has come back in about a week... So that's the update for now... Just another day in paradise...
