    Hello everyone,
    I'm back in the hobby with something I didn't have my first time around. Knowledge and patience.
    My first tank was a 30 gallon Saltwater "nano tank", no live rock, Marineland Nitrate factory bio-wheel filter, florescent lamp fixture, no hope for survival of system.

    Current setup: 3 year established tank
    30 gallon nano tank, 35 pounds of live rock, 15 pounds of live sand, Modified aquaclear 110 HOB refugium, aquaclear 70 HOB filter with filter floss, hydor power heads, in tank uv sterlizer, t5 fixture with 10000k daylight and actinic blue lamps.

    Livestock:
    Pair clownfish
    2 neon gobies
    Mandarin Dragonett
    Fire shrimp
    Peppermint shrimp
    Emerald crab
    Hermits and snails

    Corals:
    Green star polyps
    xenias
    pagodas etc.

    Have you have the tank established 3 years or did you buy an established tank?

    Is this a nanocube, and all in one system with lid or no lid?
