In this episode, I watch how the cycle of a saltwater aquarium goes by testing Ammonia, Nitrite, and Nitrate. The cycle of a reef tank can take some time, especially the nitrification bacteria.
One thing I learn with Reef aquarium is being patient, so we will wait until the water seems not toxic for living creatures.
I also how to aquascape a small saltwater aquarium with limited height. The key of aquascaping a small aquarium is living space for corals to grow, they will make the scape overtime.
Because I use black sand in this nano marine tank, I avoided to use pure Marco rock that has a white appearance, so I went with the Caribsea LifeRock that are cover with paint and small pebble that mimic real Live rock.
Has for the light for a small reef aquarium like this I decide to go with the Aqua Illumination Prime 16HD with there mountain arm.

The salinity Pen I use:    • Poseidon Salinity Pen Plus REVIEW  

The dimension of this AIO Nano aquarium:
60x30x20cm (24x12x8")
