Here we gooooo....I am back in the hobby! What I've learned? Well, when you're gonna go nano, you must ironically spare NO expense. You lose the most important buffer: water volume. So this time around, I am 7 days into my tank cycle and this is the equipment I have amassed so far:
Dry Stock:
Innovative Marine Rimless 9 Gallon All-in-One aquarium tank
Ai Nano light with the 1st generation controller - MUST optimize light conditions
JBJ Nano Auto-Top-Off fed by R.O. jug - MUST maximize spec grav stability!
Hydor Koralia (in addition to the build-in powerhead) - MUST maximize movement!
25w Hydor heater
Livestock:
5 lbs Fiji live rock
10 lbs live sand
Current ammonia level: 1.0ppm (SKY HIGH!)
