    Thank you so much for a great showcase and overview of my tank Marc!! You highlighted everything, even things I’d probably overlook or forget to mention.

      I imagine there are still so many little nuances that went into this it would be impossible to cover them all unless u were actually filming and documenting it as u did it! Such a beautiful tank! Well done!

    What a perfect example of an overly ridiculous crazy use of FOTD products, yet the perfect execution totally offsets it lol. Really well done!

    This tank, the build tech, and the layout is pretty much the pinnacle of the reef as art. It looks spotless!

  • @CoderDBF
    @CoderDBF Před 3 lety +2

    I love how there are no circulation pumps. No cables visible in or behind the tank, nothing. I probably would have used a somewhat wider tank front to back, but that might affect waterflow. I also love the tablet next to his computer and the superclean plumbing. Thank you for sharing, Melev.

    @messybunonabudget8773 Před 3 lety +1

    Wow thanks for sharing this stunning tank with us! It’s absolutely beautiful, and bravo on the plumbing and wire management! The attention to detail and level of planning that went into this really paid off. I’ve never thought about a nano tank before, but love the look and design of this one...you may have changed my mind!

  • @johnb5231

  • @Blenny195
    @Blenny195 Před 3 lety +19

    For those wondering, those dimensions (36x9x8) mean its a 11.22 gallon tank filled to the brim. Let's all honor a guy keeping a flame wrasse, purple masked angelfish, and midas blenny in a tank that small.

    Eric's tank is awesome. It inspired me to get the same tank to plumb into my 450g system back in 2013. Originally I wanted to turn it into a tridacna clam filter but Tridacna Maximas just aren't kind to me. I do have T. gigas, squamosa, 3 derasas, crocea, and hippopus doing well in the system adjacent to it.

    Ok that was a really fun tank, tiny tank but it doesn't feel terribly tiny. I did have the laugh about not being able to keep a torch because it could sting things yet there's a bubble tip anemone sitting in there, always infamous "nah it doesn't move" until it does :D

  • @Reefahholic
    @Reefahholic Před 3 lety +3

    That is the most equipment I’ve ever seen on a tank that small. 13/G? Wow! Well done! Man are you gonna feel amazing when you upgrade to 24” depth one day. 🙂 Thinking about cleaning the glass and moving rocks in that tank hurts my head.

    • @12GallonNano
      @12GallonNano Před 3 lety

      Awww thank you!! I still don’t consider myself a master reefer when I compare myself to the amazing 100-500g tanks I see on forums or CZcams but I’ve found a cool niche trying to create the greatest nano tank I can and want to keep improving. If our family ever moves to a larger house with more space for a dedicated tank I may try something in the hundred+ gallon range.

    I want a similar tank if I ever upgrade. I really like the length but a little wider, height is okay. I don't think I want the complexity of a mixed tank that he has but a softie or lps and macroalgae tank. Beautiful tank though and I am surprise he has kept it nicely as he has.

  • @SY2932
    @SY2932 Před 2 lety

    AMAZING tank, thanks for sharing :)! Do you know what material was used to partially cover the drain screen to make it a trickle over? One of the biggest challenges in the hobby is making sure stuff that we use is reef safe.

    Looks great and like artwork, and that's what it's meant to be, artwork and not fishkeeping. That's why you need several $$$K to run a 12g.

      @12GallonNano Před 3 lety

      You can see my latest video to see what happened from 2019 (when Marc recorded this video) to how it looked a few weeks ago. Yes there are now corals touching the surface and have double or tripled in size but I try to maintain a bonsai approach where I prune them back to maintain a similar shape once anything reaches about baseball size.
