Nothing in this tank came from my 165 gal. It was all bought from Marine Experience, Big Al's & Denny specifically for the nano. The fish I had came from Blue World before Xmas.

I have been thinking of maybe adding a few SPS frags to the nano but unsure. Need to build a little egg crate deck before my return pump to hold some filter floss & increase the flow.

Thoughts?

Start with something easy and low maintenance, like birdsnests. I've found millipora (ime) is fairly forgiving to my poor husbandry as well. Acros IME have given me the most grief so far out of all ive tried. Your definitely skimming enough to keep sps with your tunze, but stable parameters will be your saving grace in that little tank.
