My daughter is 11(you can see pink walls in her room.) and asked me if she can try saltwater. I know , at 11 is not looking promising(for her future husband's pocket) if she gets stack on a hobby.
Anyways this is what we came up with.
15 gal cube running on XP1 canister filter with Chemi-Pure Elite, LR rubble and tons of sponges. No skimmer, just weekly water changes. 20" Nova extreme pro(6T5HO).
Livestock she chose : 2 clowns(a must), azure damsel and Randall's goby with tiger shrimp(pair was made in 24 hours)

very nice little Nano...
I like the aquascape and it looks so much cleaner than my 95 gallon...

Wish I could do a weekly 15% on my display...lol

Aquascaping is excellent.

I agree this is a cool little nano. Cant wait to see is develop as she advances into LPS and SPS!

Thanks everyone for nice comments. I really enjoy watching it up close and personal. Goby and a shrimp are making a tunnel all the way around and under the rock work. I think there plan is to have a horseshoe shape subway covering most of the tankfloor. Rockwork is holding on for now.
