Belle's Nano Tank

[JoeyBabooey]

hello Bell! not sure if you still remember me.. got some zoas from you some months ago..

Anyway, i really like how your little tank is turning out! Nice updates!

[bellinayu]

Thanks for the encouragement. Trying to keep it simple. Weekly maintenance is siphoning detritus collected in sump and overflow and water change from 3ft tank. Salinity is maintained with a ATO devise.

Thank you Dominique (aka dispair anthias) for letting me have his tanaka possum wrasse. Hope it's a pair. Really love this fish. Bright colours and so shy. Just hovering around the lrs. That's precisely the kind of fish my nano was set up for - cryptic, shy fishes.

Also bought another Randall goby hoping to pair it up with my existing. It's a 50/50 chance they would pair up.

... And they did! Hooray!

U are super lucky, all your fishes paired up.

[bellinayu]

Yeah...just fortunate. Just love the possums!

Finally saw ur nano setup... maybe need ur help in my shallowed nano project for my return.

[peong]

Sister, seem like no chiller in ur system?

[iskay]

Nice wrasses. Hehehe

[bellinayu]

Bro peong, I have installed an aircon compressor serving both the 3ft and nano. Each has it's own thermostat. 3ft is kept at 26 deg and nano at 27 deg

[peong]

Wah, two thermostats sharing with one compresser, that's something new to me. Great!

?

[bellinayu]

It takes a longer time to get the nano stabilize. It's about 1 year 2 months now. Adding a few sticks of easy sps like radioactive birdnest from Chris, trim TFO pocci, Monti and purple digi from my main tank.

Top down shot of Bali zoas and acans from pinnacles.

Fishes in this tank now are:

A pair of Randall gobies

Green banded goby

Yellow banded possum wrasse

Caribbean cruxifiers

those look beautiful. Are they rock anemones? Do they move much?

[bellinayu]

Yes, they are. They are bottom dwellers. Once found a comfortable spot, they won't move.

[bellinayu]

To date, the 3 fishes remaining are:

- Pair of Randall gobies

- Wetmorella nigropinnata

http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=214179 Very nice tank. May I ask what is the red circumference and blue centre coral on top of pic. Thanks

[bellinayu]

I believe you are referring to the acans

[Patrick]

I believe you are referring to the acans

Acans...Very red and nice!... But Need target feeding, right? Thanks in advance

[bellinayu]

No need to target feed. Once a while you could turkey blast fine pallets.

[GuyFawkes]

cool setup. using compressor to power 2 tanks. indeeed smart move

[fishcake]

Your tank is so lovely!

You wouldn't have any zoas for sale would you?

[Patrick]

No need to target feed. Once a while you could turkey blast fine pallets.

Thank you I learnt something new today,

[bellinayu]

Swap the LR from my 3ft. Bought a small colony of nuclear eclipse from pinnacles and got some zoas from James. This is clearly a zoas, rics, acans and simple sps tank.

Will just add Digis, Montis and birdnest. All trim from my 3ft.

Also added a peppermint goby. As it's really small, so can't get a decent shot of the fish. Transparent with blue eyes.

My current fishes are:

Pair of Randall gobies

Yellow banded possum

Peppermint goby

This tank has claimed a lot of fishes' lives. Ironically, smaller and newer but I tend to add more fishes (mostly gobies) compared to my 3ft.
