MBIETZ rimless nano

[MBIETZ]

Well in the heat of the moment i traded my 60g rimless cube for a rimless 20g nano :wildone: I have always liked nano reefs so i decided to have one as my only tank. So on to the tank specs it is a rimless 20x16x16" tank roughly 20g it will be LPS and clam dominated but i will have a little of everything. It will house a pair of maroon clowns and maybe a couple other small fish. The lighting will be a 150w halide im currently using a sunbrite s-12 LED fixture temporarily. The filtration will just be a fuge in a 10g sump for now maybe i will put my ATB 840 on it :lolspin:. Here is how it sits now, i have not done any scaping yet and i have much more rock in my QT system so i have plenty to work with also the livestock in the tank is just what it came with not what i have waiting i will update this weekend.

[MBIETZ]

Thanks it should look a lot better soon once i get my corals in it and scape it

 

[tommer725]

looks nice. is it all in one or does it have a sump?

 

[MBIETZ]

Thanks and it has a center overflow that drains to a 10g sump

 

[MBIETZ]

As promised here is an update. I got most of my livestock transferred i still need to transfer my sps but I'm going to let the tank settle first. Let me know what you think

What is the brand of the tank

 

[Markemark]

Love those acans

 

[MBIETZ]

Thank you DC650 I moved some stuff around so the arch is more viewable I will post an update today.
The tank was made by a shop in Sacramento I believe but it wasn't drilled from the store.
Thank you Markemark acans are my main squeeze I just got a new one the other day I will post a pic of it with the update.

this tank is a beaut. Mbietz I started just liking your clams only to realize your whole tank is pretty awesome. looking forward to following this one.

What are you feeding with? You got a lot of hungry mouths in there. This tank is off the HOOK!

 

[MBIETZ]

Thank you for the complements everyone it is highly appreciated. I dont feed anything special just coral frenzy ever so often and i feed everyone with mysis shrimp every other week. The pink acans are nice they got pretty beat up from being in my QT for a few months but are on there way back. Also here are some updates i moved some stuff and got some new stuff. Tell me what you guys think about my clam deck thing im going to make another that will be covered in rock pieces to hide it. This one was just to test how it would work.

Here are some before and after pics of my scoly i got for $5

 

[MBIETZ]

Sorry for the bad pic quality. Also a lot of corals are not in their final place because i have not yet added my sps:bounce2:

 

[Markemark]

Do any of the Acans have a fancy name would love to try and find some of those

 

[Markemark]

What kind of lights are you running on the tank

 

[TundraGuy]

I like the lack of fish.

 

[MBIETZ]

Markemark i am running a 150w DE halide pendant with a very old 14k bulb i will be switching it out for a 20k radium soon. The acan are all just ones i have found here and there at LFS, online and friends.

Tundraguy you are going to be disappointed i do have fish but they have ich so they are all in a QT for now but it will be fishless until febuary. I just have a pair of gold striped maroons. Thats why the nem is in their i dont like it very much but the GF loves it so it will stay for now.
