Due to miscalculation, I ended up with a spare Skimz iBox Nano IOS Tank (only).

So I thought to myself… What the heck… If they can make these things so small, there must be some kind of reef that could to kept. So start my Nano/Pico tank adventures...

Dimensions: W180mm x D225mm x H245mm

Pump: Dymax PH200 (5W, 200 liters/hr, 5-10 liters)

Light: Hopar LED-200 (Blue+White, 3W, 21 LED)

Before Setup

After Setup

Found a small skimmer but not small enough to fit into the IOS compartment… Will continue searching probably will go for those limewood type.

Considering using LIVE rocks to cycle.

Please hit me with all the necessary wisdom to make this work. :P

Thank you.

Wah... 2-3 times a week! I MUST find a skimmer. Once a week also can but bioload have to be low. Seriously no skimmer can work well in that space and set up.. U can try the dymax iq skimmer if it fits. Even changing Sanders 2 lime wood every 2-3 weeks, all I get was very light tea color. Yeah... Currently 30 degree Celsius.
