I'm really kicking myself in the foot. I wish I started a journal on how my tank got to where it is. oh well, we're here now!
Started off with a fluval edge tank my friend was going to throw away, I wanted a bit of a challenge to keep. Everyone who I know, who owns a Reef tank, says nano tanks are a bit of a challenge to maintain.
I do 15-20% water change every 5 days, and feed every other day. Check my parameters before and after I do my water change. pretty simple...
Equipments:
6 Gallon Fluval Edge
Current USA Marine Orbit Nano LED light
240gph koralia
AquaClear 20 HOB
50w Heater
7lbs of live rock
10 lbs of live sand
Live Stock:
2 Perc Clowns
1 peppermint shrimp
1 emerald crab
2 blue legged hermit crabs
2 Ceriths snails
2 Nerites snails
Seems a lot in a 6 gallon, but It's been running for 8 months now, and no casualties, I'm happy about it.

Corals:
Neon green star polyp
Pom Pom Xenia
Purple Goni Coral
Yellow Ricordea mushroom
Zoas

Emerald Green torch coral
Bicolor Hammer coral

Believe it or not, All my corals I have received off CanReef members! Thanks!
I really wish I had a fancy camera to capture how beautiful it is, but an iPhone will do.
Corals and fish are all happy. Reef Packed, now just keeping in an eye on that RBTA for its to split soon (one way or another..) will report back in a month on how its doing! In the mean time, I'm already looking for a 125g... this is how it starts right...?
