Jay's 12g Nano

[kornele23]

Well today I join the Nano World!!! I bought a 12g AquaPod and it came in the mail today. I have a 180g w/75g sump and I thought I would give a little fella a try.
I've already put water, live sand and live rock over from my 180. I've ordered some base rock to finish up the 15 or so pounds I want. I've also done a few mods. I've covered the 2 bottom and 1 of the top intakes, upgraded to a MJ900 and shortened the locklines on the return.
I'm going to put a couple of fish in and some soft corals. I've already pick out one of the fish, which is a Black and White Clown. I'm not sure what the 2nd fish is going to be yet. I'm leaning towards a Possum Wrasse or a Purple Firefish.
Anyways here's the start of my little nano creation!
It's a little cloudy still.

Thanks! Yeah, I have some experience, but everyday I learn something new. I'm excited to get it going.

First water parameters:
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
PH 8.2
Nitrate 20
Salinity 1.025
I just did a 3 gallon water change. I need to get the Nitrates down. Looks like I need to do one in the big tank also.
This is a cool little tank and I'm going to have some fun with it.

I went to get some corals and a fish for my nano today. I bought a hammer, a torch

, a red/green candy cane, a orange/blue ricordia, a star polyp and a toadstool. I also bought a fish I've been looking for, for a long time. I got me a Black and White Percula....

No....lol. It's a torch coral and that's a flame/torch. An attempt on being funny.

 

[rebelprettyboy]

Wheres some new pics of the additions?

 

[kornele23]

I'll try to get some up tonight. I dont have it set up like i want to. I dont have all my rock in yet. I have some base rock on order and it wont be here till next week. I threw in some Live Rock and just put the coral in there with no rhyme or reason for now. It will look better next week....I hope.
