beautiful tank the sand looks really nice i like deep sandbeds imo the powerheads need to be moved up a bit to disturb the surface of the water?
looking forward to seeing this progress

there is also a skimmer and a HOB filter running so there is lots of surface agitation

One point I give with nanos.... Anything you do to a small tank is exponentially more noticeable. For example, less water has little room for chemistry errors.

Evaporation is ten fold. If you don't top up daily you will have spikes in your salinity. Which could be harmful.

Temperature. In summer the tank will heat up more rapidly then a large body of water. Temperature spikes can kill your corals and fIsh if not monitored.

Good luck. Looks ok so far.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

thanks for the input bud... i can't figure out how to change the title on the thread but i've actually moved from the 20 into a 60 gallon tank with a sump, so my water chem is a little less susceptible to the large swings associated with small tanks.
