The Nasty Nano

[gavinsepanik]

Hi! I'm Gavin and I am relatively new to reef keeping. I have been lurking on different forums for about 1-2 years and have had a tank since september. I am creating this thread as motivation to get off my lazy 14 year-old butt and start taking proper care of my severely neglected nano again:dance: as well as to practice photography skills. Ill say sorry ahead of time for them. This thread will move kind of slow due to the fact I'm 14 and do not have a winter job. Anyway, Here Goes nothing.Oh and, The title is for a reason:bigeyes:

Tank- IM Fusion 10
Heater- cobalt accu-therm
Lights- cheap Chinese leds
Flow- hydor Koralia nano
controller- reefkeeper lite basic
ATO- (not finished) Joeys (diyfishkeepers) 12$ ato
Skimmer- none
Dosing- ABC by red sea (freebie at a show)

I think that covers equipment

You can see the algae rooted in the sand.
