LPS nano tank

[steely185]

Here is my temporary nano LPS tank. I'm moving this all from my 20H to a Mr. Aqua 17.4 gallon tank. Let me know what you think. It's lit by a single kessil a150w ocean blue (15k) led light.

very cool. what's the plumbing/filtration setup on that tank?

 

[steely185]

It's been running like this for about two months. Only filtration is established live rock from my other tank and sand. No power filters, sump, or skimmer. No dosing either, just water changes every couple weeks and top off for evaporation. The single power head will get swapped out for an mp10 at some point. Gotta love the simplicity with LPS.

That's very impressive. Do you have any fish or inverts in there?
How long has the tank been set up? How often do you feed the corals?
Do you have past FTS of this tank to show growth?

No fish at the moment. Looking at a pair of snowcassos or something similar. All the corals were transfers from my 75 that just didn't have room for them. I have had these corals for 1-2 two years and wanted to give them their own space. They have been in this tank for about two months. I try and feed some frozen mysis or cyclopese maybe every week or week and a half. I try not to feed much with very little to eat the food left over and not wanting to foul the water much. No fish allows the food to find the corals. They are very low demand so a small tank works well with them.

So you are not dosing Ca, Mg, etc?

 

[steely185]

Correct. Water changes every couple weeks cuts it for me. Ive done a couple tanks like this over time with great success.

 

[steely185]

Didn't mean for that to come off sounding rude if it did. I'm just trying to keep this tank extremely simple.

Gorgeous. How do you like the Kessil?

 

[steely185]

Thanks. I love the kessil. The color mixing on them is fantastic. Every color looks better. The light far exceeded my expectations. I plan on possibly buying the next model up for my larger tank when it comes out.
