Sanguinesdream Pico Nano Reef tank journal

My daughter wanted to do a Pico Nano reef tank as her science fair project this year, she is 10, so we picked up this tank yesterday. She will post pictures and daily parametres while her tank cycles and with the addition of livestock. She fully understands how intensive this project will be due to its small size.

She has decided on argonite sand and is currently preparing it for the tank. She is then going to pick out a couple of pieces of live rock out of my tank for her project. She will post crom box to set up pictures as it comes along.

Any suggestions are encouraged and welcomed.

This is going to be one sweeeeeeet build :D

I'll post some details of how i set it up shortly:biggrin:

This is a great little tank!changed some things around though.
1.Got rid of the foam filter insert and filled the chamber with rock rubble and some ceramic bio media,and put filter floss on top.
2.plugged the little hole located 3/4 down to try and get a better overflow action happening but even that wasn't enough(surface film was still there) so I actually blocked off most of the overflow slots with a flat piece of plastic.
3.Added HOB airlift refugium(breeder actually)for cheato and for gas exchange.
4.I'm using the stock light for the refugium and hung an 18" t-5 dual for corals but that's just my preferance.
5.added an elite mini A-130 for more circulation.
Not to much in the livestock department yet just some loose zoas from my main tank and a Yasha Haze goby.
