5 Gallon nano reef tank build... suggestions?

[BuGG]

Hi MR,

I originally bought this from Coralmeister to use as a frag tank. However, I did have other parts and stuff lying around so I figured I will start a nano reef build and use it as a frag tank as well.

The equipment I'm using are all in CM's thread here. He also threw in a piece of live rock too. I've added a HOB Aquaclear 30 skimmer. I had a bunch of sand and extra live rock so I added those too. I am using my other tank's water to seed this one with bacteria and stuff. Hopefully, the cycle won't take as long.

Here are some pics. This is my first attempt at a nano so let me know if you have suggestions.

Thanks!!

I think 'extreme nano tanks' are really cool. Imo you tend to love it more than your bigger dt's. Are you adding any fish. I would definately add a cleaner shrimp.

Yes, I am thinking just a small goby or wrasse is fine. I don't want to overstock it with fish. I would rather have corals in it.

It's been running fine for just over a week. It's rated for 30 gallons so it's more than enough for my 5 gal build.

Sexy shrimps are perfect for tiny tanks
