Guide to setting up a nano reef tank: equipment, recommended corals, water quality tips, and layout ideas for small tanks.
For those with limited space, nano reef tanks (30-45cm) offer a way to enjoy coral keeping. With proper equipment and management, beautiful reef tanks are possible even in small volumes.
Compact high-PAR LED, hang-on skimmer, 50-100W heater, and a small wavemaker.
Zoanthids, mushroom corals, small Lobophyllia, star polyps, and Clavularia. Stick to soft corals — SPS are too demanding for small water volumes.
Weekly 15-20% water changes, careful evaporation monitoring (auto top-off recommended), and cooling fans for summer.
Bri-Choku offers many small frag specimens perfect for nano tanks. Tell breeders "I'm setting up a nano reef" for tailored recommendations.
