Default For your inroom 23G Nano.

Josh,
since you are setting it up. Thought you might interesting in some crush coral (little bigger than sand, with some red stuff mixed.) I have extra with me here after my setup in may. About 1/2 bucket (the HomeDepot bucket)
Shout me if you want it.

haha.. took me a second to figure out what you were talking about..
they DO look like lightsabres....

Sorry to hijack. This should be neat... I tried going SPS in my 20g, and had some success. Not too much growth or polyp extension, but I did get really nice colours at least. It can be a challenge..

Have you considered BB ? I found having sand in a small system while doing SPS was the devil. Wayyy too much nutrients and just a general amount of crap that builds up that the SPS didn't care so much for. Obviously results vary, so to each their own! I'll be following along here. I love smaller tanks.

Not really, for the simple fact that I am not a huge fan of how it looks..

Fair enough.. it all comes down to a personal preference in the end. I just like to see how much crap is building up, and it makes it that much easier to remove!

Anyways.. tagging along!

I think that's the only reason I would go BB, easy clean up, as there will be 1 or 2 small fish in the tank..

Refractometer, one of the best investments you can make for a reef tank.
