black sand 5g reef

[20reefer]

Well I started my nano a few days ago, right now the water is 80% fresh because the sand was collected and have some sort of pod that was parasitic and sucks boold from my hands but they are now dead. Well the tank is a minibow but I will use it with the flat part as the front. I will add salt water in the night to start the cycle.

Equipment:

minibow
27w 6700k desk lamp
20w 50/50 custom coralife hood
old odyssea skimmer pump

black sand colected from a near beach
base rock

future livestock

horned blenny- will be a gift from a local colector
corals will be from my 30g reef
thallasia and macro
nerite snails
feather dusters
bluelegs hermits
peppermint shrimp
