I'm starting my first Nano Reef!

**GDominy** · 03-13-2003, 12:43 AM

I realized today that I have too many planted tanks on the go and I need to focus my efforts on making them work, starting with the 135 and the 22. That being said I've scrapped my plans for my planted 7.5 nano. I recently inherited another 30 gallon tank (complete setup) that I moved under the 135 gallon tank. I moved the fish from the 7.5 into there and scrubbed the tank.

So, now I have a 7.5 gallon tank... with 4 watts per gallon... What to do.. what to do..... REEF!

So I'm going to set up this little tank with an Aquaclear 500 as a pseudo sump to hide the heater and other gizmo's in. I'm pretty excited :-)
