    Hello friends.

    I would like to share my new adventure in aquariums. I bought a tank complete with all necessary equipment such as skimmer, lighting, heating and circulation. I hope I can ride my tank and that it is so beautiful as those I see here.

    Opening the box



    Apart from the protections


    And here he is


    Until you see the reflection of my other tank planted.



    Thanks to all

    Cheers!

    It is normally recommended that you should get the largest tank that you can afford (easier in the sense of more stability in water parameters which is good for your livestocks i guess )

    But personally i think nano/small tank is quite an art to setup and maintain well, and definately "easier" on my pocket

    tflow: I am happy that you've liked in my planted tank. Soon I will take more photos of him and show the topic.

    beetroot: thanks for comment beetroot ... Below I have some more pictures.

    Jervis: my planning to keep that tank only a couple of true pércula and a goby firefish. Currently the tank is with the couple of true percula and a Centropyge. The centropyge is leaving the aquarium because it is too large to be in a nano

    qngwn: I agree with my friend tflow. The bigger is better for sure because more animals fit and stability is much greater. But as I wanted a marine aquarium in my room and I had not much money, I opted for a tank nano.

    tflow: Thanks for the explanation.

    Friends, what you will see now is a newly fitted tank already inhabited by fish and corals. The reason is that I already had another marine tank in my house, but was careless and I was not liking. The tank was 120 liters and there lived a couple of percula true, a couple of dams yellow tail and a couple of centropyge. Transfer the entire contents of my old tank for the nano, since rocks, substrate, water, biology.

    Here are pictures of him on the second day of mounted!

    Percula and corals


    Centropyge and corals


    Phenomenon of reflection in the convex glass tank (Hmm .. spoke beautiful now) hehe


    Ricórdea Green


    Thank you all for comment and praise.

    Cheers!

    This is the dream.. a superb planted tank and a superb marine tank side by side. I can spend hours lying on the bed and just staring at the two of them!

    , can you show how your sump tank is done for this nano? Would like to learn more about what is required.

    Mordrake: Thanks for comment. I was also thinking of adding more ricordeas but I will do this in phases. Here in Brazil the price of corals are a bit expensive.

    Jervis: Thanks for the comment Jervis. The centropyge as is the largest fish in the tank is out. Want to exchange him for a goby firefish. I think he one of the most beautiful fish for nano-reef.

    JadeIceGreen: Thanks for your comment. It really is great is observing two tanks so different. I also am hours in bed watching them.

    craftsman: Thanks for comment. The sump is very functional. See the picture below


    Now a small update.
    I hope your enjoy







    Cheers!

    Very nice! thanks for the great pictures and updates. I've been seriously considering starting a marine nano.

    Watching your successes is very encouraging.

    On a separate note though, I noticed you are using Bio-rings in your sump? or is that just a generic picture?

    Been reading from multiple sources that using Biohome or Live rock instead is better in the long run for marine tanks. The rings are supposed to become nitrate producers after awhile, instead of reducers.
