Wtb nano tank

[elmotheodd]

Hi folks

Im in the market for a small all in one tank around 12 to 16 gallons. This is for my wifes office so she wants something easy to manage. She really likes the 12 gallon nanos amd 14 gallon biocubes but is open to other types of tanks.
Let me know if you have something your willing to sell.

Thanks,
Cameron

Haha easy to manage and nano in the same sentence!! Might be easier to clean but parameters are lovely to chase... I chase with my 29 just fyi

Honestly, my 5 gallon nano is the easiest tank I have, and I put very little maintenance in. It's small, so it only has zoa's candy canes, frogspawn and star polyps, but I don't test anything but salinity. I do a 50% water change every week, yep 2.5 gallons every week, and change out the media once a month, that's it. It grows the coral that are in there as well, or better than any other tank I have. It has a watchman, and pistol pair, and it's keep it simple style. You can make a nano as complicated as you want, but then again, you don't have to.

What Type of lighting are you using on your 5 gallon?

+1 with nano's all the maintenance is just doing "large" water changes. I kept a 14g biocube in college with zoas, LPS and some basic sps and all I did was 4 gallon water changes once a week.

A DIY LED, 2 royal blue, 2 Cool white 1 uv (ish) on a 12" rapid led heat sink.

+3 on easy to maintain. I have a 3 gallon stocked similar to Fishtv. My maintenance routine is once a week clean the glass and a 50-70% water change, and daily pour in rodi water to top off and feed my yasha hasa about 3 mysis.

I have 24 nanocube and its cake to manage i do a 5 gallon water change ever 10 days. So my wife and I are no stranger to the nano scene how long do you guys run your lights though ?

How many days do you think you could go without topping off with RODI in that size tank?

I do not have a cover lid on the tank and I top it off every morning to compensate for about 3/8" of evaporation. If I am gone for a 3 day weekend, I loosely lay plastic wrap over top leaving space for air exchange near the hob filter, and it is fine. The evaporation is about 3/8" for three days with my ghetto plastic wrap method.

Yep all I do in my 29 biocube sps dominant, is a 5 gallon water change every week , no dosing at all and my parameters are always good and corals are growing like weeds!!!

I have one of these that I am getting ready to break down. Super nice all in one nano tank. 30 gallon long with low iron glass. I have it set up for a fuge in one of the back chambers. It can have 2 MP-10 wireless and a cadlights skimmer. PM me if you are interested.

Not to hijack or anything... But are you saying that 2 mp10s would work or you have them you're willing to let go Brian?.... cause i am looking for an mp10 tentatively for a sweet little nano I have going on
