Thanks for visiting :thanks:

Here's my 24g Nano when it was delivered on Day #1. I put it at a nice corner in my study room. Don't you just like the JBJ "S" stand? So contemporary looking ------> without storage space unfortunately.

My specs as below

Of course, after talking to a few LFS and lots of readings, I've decided to do something radical to the NC. There are limitations to the NC and some mod works will almost guarantee better results later on. So after 2 days of considerations, I've decided to go topless! :upsidedown:

Bought a MH fixture and a Hang on protein skimmer on Day #4

In Day #6, I've decided to do something really radical. Introducing the Tunze ReefPack 500. I ordered it through ReefDepot, so the actual product is much larger than anticipated :erm: But will do... I also bought some really nice LR from a fellow member. Thanks bro!

Front view, the rock formation offers a lot of mini caves and hiding holes. So basically, I have to wrap the ReefPack with rocks, making the overall visual much shallower. But I kinda like it that way... so will not mess around with it for a while now.

Added a Tunze Turbelle Electronics to the side of the tank, running at 30% force.

Tunze Multicontroller in action, running in Night Mode (30% force) all the time. The push and pull effect is creating a nice water flow, kinda natural... well, the best way is to demonstrate it using an Anthia or a Green Chromis. :evil: (Don't flame me)

Melvyn Tan: I've only ran it for 2 days now, will do a proper review later. But one thing for sure is... the protein skimmer is working really fine :lol:

Wah 7095 !

I work for Tunze mah! :eyebrow:

Just kidding, the fact is, I work day & night and spend all my hard earned on Tunzes... so yes, I work for Tunze, lol.

Anyway, I do plan to use these equipments for many years to come, and I head Tunzes are really reliable. The 7095 will allow me to upgrade to a larger tank (planning to happen in 2 years time).

No lah! For me, I would love to have a larger tank, say 75g. The only reason I bought a Nano is space constraint. My partner refused to let me bring a large tank home... we are staying in a small 2 bedroom condo. This is a start, later I will slowly introduce a larger tank.

So small, no fun la!

Finally got the Tunze Osmolator fixed. The 10g container u see contains a small pump that will deliver water automatically to my tank. Great gadget especially for those travelling a lot :lol:
