Hello WAMAS,
It was really great to see such an active club at the Spring Event. I'm getting back into the hobby after quite some time off. I used to be an active CMAS member when I had a 180 reef, but life and kids sort of got in the way. The 180 is now an extremely low maintenance Mbuna Cichlid tank, but the corals are calling me back.
I initially started a 7.5G nano, but after seeing that Tony Vargas had a 25G Nano in his "Godfather Spouse Factor" dining room, I decided that 25G was the way to go for me.
I'd like to get some advice while I'm documenting my build. Here's what I have on my list so far:
Mr. Aqua 25G Low-Iron Cube
Marineland Simple Modern Black Stand
Glass-Holes Super Nano con Dientes Overflow Box
Not sure of the return size yet (1/2 or 3/4)
Deep Blue 5G Sump (I can't fit a 10G in that stand)
Deep Blue 2.5G topoff reservoir
AI Nano LED
Vortech MP10
Apex Controller
Apex VDM
Tunze Nano Osmolator Nano
Aquarium Systems Maxi-Jet Return 1100 (294GPH max) or 1800 (274)
AquaEuroUSA Protein Skimmer 2
Cobalt NeoTherm 50W
BRS Dosing Pumps x 2 for B-Iolnic
BRS ReefSaver Rock
Barebottom
