Hello guys/girls,
I have been keeping a 20gal nano cube for quite a few months now and have long been poisoned by minimalist nano shallow reef setups that I saw online along the way. Now that the time has come (by the time, I meant budget. ) and have engaged Vincent from AA for my upcoming tank, I thought I should start a thread to document my journey. Even though the supposed delivery date is on 28th this month, I'll share my plan with gurus. It is going to be a mixed reef with a heavy lps section, zoa garden, this little and that little [emoji16]. Below is my current plan.
Setup and equipment list
Tank : 24" x 24" x 10" (Herbie overflow for silent and minimum footprint)
Sump : About 18" x 20" x 12"
Skimmer : Have my current nac qq and will try if it works well first
Light : AI hydra 26
Mech filtration : 4" 150micron filter sock
Chemical filtration : rowaphos reactor and carbon reactor
Chiller : resun cl280
Return : Jebao DC3000
Wavemaker : Current tank's 2xrw4
Water source : Zero DI
Salt : DD h2ocean pro
Supplements : biodigest and bioptim
Please do suggest me if there can be better improvements and don't forget to share your shallow reef setups for inspiration and poisoning too. [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]
Thank you people.
