The new Nano Reef is officially up and running. Just a list of equipment for anyone ever interested in getting into the hobby. I have been keeping aquariums for over 5 years.

Tank: Fluval Sea Evo 13.5Gallons

Includes Skimmer

I purchased from Maidenhead aquatics. Currently on sale for £149.99 including the protein skimmer. The tank kit also includes a return filter however I swapped out the return pump and modified a Hydra Nano Filter image.jpg with an elbow piece to the tube connecting the return back into the display tank. As shown below

The kit does not come with a heater so I purchased a small 50watt Nano heater for £14.99 image.jpg this will be adequate to get the temperature to 25/26 degrees.

The kit also includes a light however I have just ordered the Ai Prime HD which retails for £249.99 which is more than the tank however I grow coral from frags to colonies:

Therefore I prefer to use high end eco friendly light solutions.

The kit does not include a power head or wavemaker so I purchased one off of eBay that I know is good quality. The Jebao RW4 wavemaker unit with controller for £36.99. https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jebao-RW-Aquarium-Programmable-Wavemaker-Fish-Tank-Wave-Flow-Pump-W-Controller/322875928809?hash=item4b2ce7b0e9:m:mqkmyrQiLhoRg0Aq1F9Rnvg

I spent just £15 on Fiji deadrock which I turnt live rapidly via Prodibio start up a French company I fully support. image.jpg

This was enough to get the tank started. I weekly religiously water change due and dose multiple food supplements and eventually will have fish. Only high end clownfish7C70304F-5EE7-45E1-80B6-9AD8AC6C2131.jpeg

My aim is to pair Naked Clownfish and the Midnight Clownfish up so they become triple the value I will pay for them. I’m expecting them to be around £100 but paired worth roughly £300/500. I will continue the cycle of selling the pairs but re pairing high end Clownfish up of all kinds over the years.

I won’t list what’s in the tank stock wise untill I have abit more to offer as it’s still immature and don’t want to take risks.

Good job. I recently posted a picture of an aquarium too. It’s a freshwater setup for breeding angelfish.
