My new 16 gallon nano reef

[lejoey]

Hello,

I present my new nano reef to you which I put out of water on August 13.

It is made up of an aquarium of 40x40X40 is 64L rough.
-2 X 18W Natural Spectra Aquatic (6500°K & 7200°K+blue)
-Koralia 2 pump + Eden 404

The alive stones arrived on August 18. I installed + - 10Kg.

I do not hope to install of useless protein skimmer because for a so small volume.

I will make water changes of 10% per week and the iodine additions the every day.

I account start populated during the future days because my parameters are currently (Po4 good: 0 - NO3: 5mg/l)

So long,
Laurent

Thank you for your comment

My aquarium was manufactured by a manufacturer close to at home in Belgium.

Think that for zoanthus, mushroom, ricordea my lighting is rather powerful? (36watts for 40litres)

Very Nice Cube tank...

But you need to change your bulbs in your lights...
You really want a 10,000k and 420nm Actinic, you should also think of
going higher in watts too.

You said your lighting is really powerful??
36 watts total is not really enough for a 16 gallon tank. You should have
atleast 65 watts. A 70 watt Current Sunpod would be really nice on that
tank.

I have a 24 watt 50/50 PC on my 3 gal pico, with 5 blue and white
LED moonlights. For a 3 gal I think its just right.
