Looks like my budget build didn't get included....

@Sfreebe interested to pick up but out of town until 4/19....if you can wait. Btw, if it's freshly split, best to wait 2-3weekz for the split to heal before transferring.

March 2025 Update: ===== Got past the ugly phase... but decided to let the green film algae grow out a bit to help the pod population explode... Everything is coming along nicely...though, the female is looking gravid so there might be a clutch soon. Added a second fire shrimp...(+$40) and a...

What a bummer... came home to this. Have had my blonde Naso since it was a booger -- it now the size of my palm. All other fish in the system are fine, and nothing had been introduced to it in a long, long time. So have no idea why I lost this beauty. I hate it when I lose fish with not...

They usually pair pretty easily. So you can always buy them separately and add together

Side story -- I almost wound up with one of the original splits of the 50-50 as it was originally known. Knew the brothers who had the first one before ECC got a hold of one and then charge stupid money and called it nexusburst. We used to debate whether the original would just turn into a...

LMAO -- I totally read it wrong!

Tempted now...

agreed -- it's just here temporarily as a nursery of sorts... still too small for my DT as the other tangs will our compete it for food. Once it gets a bit bigger, then will move it there. Have had it since it was less than a half dollar size... That said, I plan on using my office tank as...

@Woeday -- commenting! :p

Equipment: 5G Fluval, spare tank I bought on a sale back in 2017 (if I recall, I bought it for $75... so FMV, about $30?) 50W heater, spare (FMV $10) Light, spare (Lominie, $35 bought during Prime Day 2 years ago - FMV $20) ATO, pulled together from spare parts I had laying around ($0) 10G...

Well... this looks like fun. And coincidentally, I just started a new nano reef.... guess I'll join. Now let's see if I can keep up with month updates

Always glad to see folks venturing into nano / micro reefs! :) Stocking choice obviously is important but I suggest having porous ceramic media like marinepure /maxspect as well. Helps create biofilter capacity / buffer to keep your tank happy for long term success...

Finally decided to setup a new tank in my work office... Now that I am on the 3rd floor and far from the elevator, I've decided that the IM20 I had at my desk prior to the pandemic is no longer an option. My goal is to have a trouble free, nearly set and forget it tank....with maybe an...
