Added 36w of leds modded In to the hood!! Much cleaner than my temporary hack job

3x 10000k-12000k LEDs
4x Royal blue LEDs
2x Blue Leds
2x violet
1x Ultra violet


Now I just need to figure out how to get my camera to handle the blues!

Default Fluval edge nano reef

I added a new little buddy yesterday and a trumpet coral!











What are some other bright softys to add more movement to the tank? So far I'm on the hunt for an Australian Duncan.

I'm also wondering if I will need to start dosing a thing or if weekly water changes will suffices replenishing nutrients

Pick up one a couple corky finger gorgs, the yellow fuzzy ones. That would look killer in the right position.

Also, if you do weekly water changes, you won't have to worry so much about the major elements, IME.

I'll check them out.

Do you think 20% weekly water change is sufficient?

With tiny tanks, you might as well do huge water changes. I do 50-90% every 7-10 days. Zero element or nutrient management concerns.

Sounds like a good plan. I'll just do a 5g bucket worth
