Default Shawn's 10G Nano

Hey All,

I've been keeping a 10 gallon for the past 2 years. I never made a canreef profile of my tank, so here it is:

Background
I Started this tank with my dad on November 14 2010. A 10G aquarium, which was a freshwater tank for almost 10 years. The tank cycled with live rock from November '10 till February '11 at which point I had added in the CUC. In April '11 we added in all corals + fish. By June 2011 all the fish (clowns and gobies) had died, along with all the CUC but one hermit made it through, I also lost a few LPS frags. These deaths were caused by an irresponsible waterchange where I forgot to measure the SG (it was at 1.030) And it almost instantly killed a lot of tank inhabitants. For about nearly a year the tank was very boring, no fish, no livestock. Until more recently I decided to give it a re-vamp.

Equipment
- T5 High Output 18'' Nova Extreme Pro Lighting Fixture
- EBO Jager 50Watt Heater
- 2x Eheim Powerballs 172GPH
