    Free 12g Cadlights Nano Reef Aquarium Full Setup (ready-to-go)

    Well, after 15 great years of great nano reefing (https://www.nano-reef.com/forums/topic/172031-nano-sapiens-12g-ye-olde-mixed-reef/) it's now time to 'pass it on'. Location: Near Walnut Creek in Contra Costa Co This is a very well cared for 12g Cadlights bowfront nano reef aquarium with a few...

    Nano sapiens 12g - Ye Olde Mixed Reef

    The SPS has been up there for a few years. The purple sticks are questionable (possibly Stylophora or Digitata?). SPS wise, to the right is a Pavona maldivensis and behind all that are three species of Seriatopora, a Granulosa, Mint-green Pavona, three species of Leptoseris, Pink...

    The Protein Skimmer is Necessary (I am looking at you, Nano Reef)

    To add some science to the conversation, Dana Riddle's article references tests done on a Torch coral using prolonged and continuous lighting: http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2009/5/aafeature The takeaway here is that 17 hours of lighting caused abnormalities in cell division. 16 hrs. would...

    The Protein Skimmer is Necessary (I am looking at you, Nano Reef)

    I don't have anything to say about poop, butt ;) The length of the lighting period can certainly be a factor in excess algae growth, as can the wavelengths emitted (especially warmer colors like 'red'), the intensity and the DLI (Daily Light Integral). The equatorial daylight length is 12 hrs...

    The Protein Skimmer is Necessary (I am looking at you, Nano Reef)

    I deleted my original reply as I had to ask myself the question; "Is this OP serious or just having a bad day?", especially considering the definitive subject wording. Running without a skimmer didn't work in your experience, and that's legit. But your title says that a 'Protein skimmer is...

    Sounds more like a 'Chalice', then. Whatever it is, it's a very cool.

    Very nice! tank indeed! My interest was peaked with this unusual coral. My first thought was Australomussa since some of the corallites have a resemblence to mussids, but then again it could also be an unusually thick tissued type of Chalice (Mycedium?). Are the tentacles long and stringy or...

    I guess you could say that, but there are a few even older examples of small nano/pico tanks out there.

    Thank you, Felicia :)

    Nano sapiens 12g - Ye Olde Mixed Reef

    Thanks! There's a fair bit of pushing-and shoving, but I've only lost one coral type so far. I like to transplant frags in multiple places, so that helps to prevent loosing a specific coral type.
