Fluval edge nano reef
I finally got around to getting my little cube of a reef set up. It's filled with live sand and live rock from a 2.5 year old tank.
I checked the parameters yesterday and everything was fairly low so hopefully it's good to go later this week Lots of caves for the critters and ledges for the corals I'm debating either painting the aquaclear 20 intake black or finding a clear one Also added a stainless strainer to the intake.

Thank you. It only took about 80 revisions!
I'm not quite sure if I'm happy with the arching rock for the center to the left so it may change if I find a more interesting one.. But aside from that I'm happy with it!

That stainless strainer will most likely rust in saltwater

Good to know! I saw others a use a sponge prefillter.. Which requires frequent cleanings to avoid nitrates. I was hoping this would get around that. Rats!

The sponge prefilter is more of a freshwater thing so baa by fish and shrimp don't get sucked in

Is there many small mArine things to get sucked up. Or not really an issue? I suppose the powerhead prob sucks more than the AQ
