Well this is my first experience building a reef tank... I knew I wanted a Nano for quite some time but since this is my first tank, this is the biggest I can go for now since I'm in an apartment. Been getting a ton of stuff in and building my aquascape now. I'm not really in a rush to get the tank up and running. I want to take my time but I want to be up and running by the end of the year.

I did get my RODI hooked up to my apartment spare bathroom shower. I really like the idea of leaving it in the shower and hiding it behind the curtain. If it leaks or anything, it goes straight down the drain.

Well this is what a few hours of aqua scaping for the first time got me. After watching a ton of BRS TV you tube videos, I like how it is. Since this is the first time, id love some feed back!

Let me know what you think!

This tank is super long and short. It is a few inches from the glass from my measurements and followed the 2/3 rule for coral growth. I have not glued anything down. It is standing on its own which I like. I do plan on adding corals but not sure which ones. More learning to do!

Great start, I'm looking forward to following along! The IM AIO tanks are awesome. Your rock scape looks awesome and leaves plenty of room for vertical growth. Make sure to leave space for a rock island or two for corals you don't want to take over the entire scape.

Do you have any other equipment (lights, ATO, etc) yet?

No ATO yet, I got a Radon XR15. Only thing I'm missing is tests kits, live sand, and salt!
