Smile My second Nano - 3gal

Hello, my name is Robert.
Im a somewhat new reefer, as I haven't had a tank in 4 years (too long) haha.
Woke up one day a little stressed out and decided to start my nano.

Ive had reef tanks in the past (72 gal bow front & 10 gal rimless) but while moving, I had to break them down and find good homes for my fish.
I had them running for 1 1/2 years before dismantling them.

I thought I would come on here and show you what I have set up & any input or comments you all could share with me. I know this tank is too small for multiple fish, or any for that matter, but I've seen it done. They had 2 small fish in a tank this size.
Well, what turned me on to trying out such a small tank was my local reef store (The Reef Keeper), ever since I started reefing (5 years ago) the tank at their store has been running great (stores 3gal tank - 7 years old) for all these years. I just had to have one for my desk at home.

I'm sure ill encounter some problems here or there but I welcome the challenge.
After all that here are some pictures for you to see. Let me know what you think & if im wrong for trying this out.

Looks like a good start! You're not wrong for trying it. I got a three gallon going right now. You've had a ten gallon so you already know the challenges of a small tank.
