5 gallon Nano

I just thought that i would share my new tank. It is a fluval chi tank that i have converted into a saltwater tank. I have 5 pounds of live sand, and about 15 pounds of live rock. For filtration i am running a hang on back top fin that is rated for 40 gallons, i got it because its flow is adjustable. I'm still looking for a good power head, but im not sure if i really need one, the top fin runs at max 200 gph. My current lighting is a Compact fluorescent, but i have a boost led lamp on order.

Here is a pic, sorry for the quality, its from my phone. I'm working on getting a camera soon.

nice looking set up and judging by that wave you have going on, you wont be needing an additional power head

nice tank waits it going to have? lps or sps?

 

i have never had coral so im hoping to start with some softies, im open to suggestions. right now im working on keeping up on the maintenance before buying any livestock. I assume with my boost led light i could probably keep just about anything. Thanks for the comments guys.

 

there is a powerhead in the picture, but that is actually not in there anymore, it didnt seem to make a difference and just looked out of place in there.

 

I switched from tap water over to Ro water from LFS last week. I now have what appears to be green hair algae blooming. Any ideas why all of the sudden this would be happening?

 

That is a nice modification. Looks great.;D

 

Thanks

 

Does anyone have any insight on my algae problem?

 

whats the light? just a off the shelf bulb from a regular store?

also what are your nitrates?
