About Yourself:
Im only 20 years old but I live in Florida an love the florida keys. I like scuba diving and really feel that the reefs should be preserved. I figured it was time to get my own piece of reef in my home so I could enjoy the beauty every day and show people why it needs to be protected. My goal is to have a full blown reef in the top ten on this site and the nicest 29 gallon reef in the world. Its a challenge..........but im up for it.
Fish Kept:
Two clowns, sixline wrasse, 100ish nassarious snails, sea cucumber, and 4 turbo snails.
Corals/Plants:
in my refuge I have brown red and green algaes as well as 60 mangroves. I have acropora, birdsnest,mushrooms,hammer corals, galaxy corals, fungi plate coral, xenia, and even palys and zoas.
Tank Size:
29 gallons
Advice:
Be PATIENT. Thats why I got into this, to help me with my patients. You rush and you will fail.
Description:
this is my refugium. All saltwater, with mangroves and algae. Its not pretty.....but its VERY functional. The filter sock on the right gets the big stuff out of the water.......and the pipe on the left is controlled by a valve to let water in the refuge slowly. The skimmer is in the refuge....but surprisingly it works very well.

About Yourself:
I used to have a 55-gallon planted tank, but now I am in a smaller apt. so I am trying out the nano tank. So far, I think it is quite elegant, but we'll see how everything fares in the long run! I welcome all (constructive) feedback, so please let me know what you think!
Fish Kept:
3 Otocinclus affinis (a.k.a. Oto Cat)
1 Corydoras julii (a.k.a. Leopard Cory)
1 Corydoras splendens (a.k.a. Elegant or Emerald Cory)
1 Caridina japonica (a.k.a. Amano shrimp)
In the future I would like to add:
10 Neocardinia heteropoda (a.k.a. Red Cherry Shrimp)
Corals/Plants:
Eleocharis parvula (a.k.a. Dwarf Hairgrass)
Hemianthus callitrichoides (a.k.a. Dwarf Baby Tears)
In the future I would like to add:
Vesicularia dubyana (Java moss) affixed to wood in the shape of a dwarf pine tree
Tank Size:
3 gallons
Advice:
Less is more, unless you are talking about plants, in which case more is more! Understock, and in your first month, you are better off not stocking anything at all and letting the plants and bacteria work their magic.
