Purgo’s Nano Reef

[Purgo25]

Hi All! I just recently discovered this group and super excited to see people with the same passion as myself! I moved from Colorado this last summer and finally found the time to get back into the hobby. I am doing a nano reef this time around due to lack of time and space but love it none the less! Excited to see what this group is about!

Welcome. Where in the Bay Area are you?

Almost a month after and the nano reef is flourishing! My green BTA has found his happy place and is HUGE.

The polyp rock gained some acans and candy canes! Even tried a birdsnest SPS on top and it is doing great. Seeing some polyp growth so hopefully some new ones sprouting soon!

If anyone happens to have/know someone who has Salted Agave Zoas (Sometimes called magic agaves, blue agaves, etc.) please let me know! They are my favorite! Last how do I become a supporting member? Great stuff coming from the group so far that I’ve seen.

Welcome! It must be a challenge to keep anemones in a small tank but you’re doing a good job.

@Coral reefer Haven’t updated it in a coupe months but still looking good! I don’t know what other stuff I need to add. Let me know!

Just wanted to find it and have a peek. I’m sure I’ve read this before but I can’t keep everyone straight in my head. Especially newer members I haven’t met yet.

Let’s see a current pic or two since you asked though!

 

[Purgo25]

@Coral reefer Totally understand! I see you’re the most active on here so I’m sure you’ve met hundreds of members.

@Twisted Just took some! I don’t have the special lenses I need to get some soon though! I forgot to add the beautiful Miami Hurricane chalice from @nly04. Super excited about it, all the mouths on it have been opening big. My Acan has two new mouths growing which is also exciting!

Cool to see you growing some SPS with the original light. Love the Fire shrimp

Thanks! I actually got this nano tank specifically because I knew I could, I found a gentleman who did PAR ratings across the entire tank that was up to SPS. The fire shrimp is awesome except when he steals food from my Acan!
