I have had this ten gallon tank for about three years and it has been the most fascinating little project I have ever done. For the duration of keeping this "nano-reef," I have customized the tank to fit things that would have not been made for such tanks, e.g. bak pak skimmer, power compacts, size, et al. I now consider my tank to be a rather mature tank since, it can adapt and handle the types of conditions that accompany small aquariums.

(very) Brief Specifications/Modifications:

• Tank: Regular glass then gallon tank.
• Lighting: 3 27W Power Compact lights made by Lights of America.
• Skimmer: Bak Pak II Skimmer by Cpr.
• Inhabitants: ~20 20lbs Fiji live rock. Some yellow polyp coral that has other zoanthids alongside.
• Circulation: 1 600 rio power head.
• Additions: Adding  1.0 mL Iodine every so often. And adding 2.5 mL B-Ionic. The make up water comes from supermarket-- it is r/o processed. Salt is from Red Sea Fish pHarm.
