Hello everyone! Here's the story. The wife returned to work after maternity leave, and the employees started a boring freshwater aquarium. It was very primitive, without lighting, with coarse gravel and shells (everyone brought something from their vacation) instead of substrate. The inhabitants were snails, vallisneria, and guppies. It was rather dull for her to watch this, so she persuaded the employees to drain this swamp and set up a marine aquarium. And then the brain drain began! "I want nodiatoms, no overgrowth, no cyanobacteria or similar crap, and most importantly, it should be cheap." A quick start, or rather a clone of the system, didn't work due to a lack of live rock. Therefore, the nitrogen cycle will be monitored at home, and then the beautiful one will be moved to the wife's workplace. After some time for preparation, we have this nano aquarium! A round aquarium -24.5 cm high, 25.5 cm in diameter, and a total of 11 liters, subtracting the gap, rocks, and sand, we get 8.5 liters of pure water! I bought 2.5 kg of dry reef rock, pounded it, and glued a hill. It turned out to be about 1.7 kg. 50/50 sand. Water was siphoned during water changes. A flow pump, some internal Atman rated at 230 l/h. And the lighting (I worked on it the longest, namely the frame!) Looks pretty good. LEDs, 1 watt each, 1 piece - white 7000K and 2 pieces - blue 455-565nm. The launch was on
