I've got that urge again. I'm either going to find a way to trick out my nanocube some more or I'm going to make a new setup.
I got the nanocube so I could have a small, easy tank that didn't suck a lot of money (compared to a very large tank) and have a big footprint.
For a while, it worked great. But instead of satisfying my reefy desires, my successes with the nanocube only fueled the grassfires drinking gasoline. Here are my options, I'm going to pick one of them
• Further mods on the nanocube. Only possible mods would be a skimmer, an auto top off, some kind of kalk doser (wtf lol!) or perhaps something to the sumpy area to make it a proper fuge.
• 2.5g species aquarium - mantis shrimp, 1 chunk of LR, some shrooms. I started to set this up the other day but the green mantis shrimp are hard to find! (there are two species both from the gulf, neither sold reliably... if you got a link hook me up!)
• 5.5g "technical tank - mod the crap out of it like one of brandon's custom jobbies. Do my best to reduce evap, make a fuge/sump in the back/corner and try to grow some stonies.
• dual 10g Ultranano dream setup. I have two 10g aquariums that are on a stacking frame. It's almost as if someone intended the top one to be a display tank and the bottom one to be a sump/fuge. I've recently been reading articles on reefkeeping.co and melev's reef about designing the baffles etc for the sump in the bottom. I think it would be super hella cool to hangs some MH over the top tank, some PC over the fuge area of the bottom one and hook up all the filter equip on the bottom tank. I could also keep my mantis shrimp (if i ever get it!) in the fuge area of the sump! This option is the least desireable right now for two reasons:
-it's the most expensive
-the stand is wrought iron, everything on the bottom would be visible (all pumps filters etc)
Which do you think sounds most interesting or which would you choose?
