Hey some may remember from my threads for my build for my bigger tank which is still underway just the longest house build in history. a friend set me up with a nano to play with in the meantime which may work well to get some corals going that may be fragged or swapped into the bigger tank when it is finally ready. I did plan on keeping it sit longer with not much in it, but friend that gave me the tank had some corals that were pretty sickly and couldn't keep up with maintenance so when my parameters were reading for had to give it a go. corals have been in the tank for one day and have started to look much much happier already. also grabbed a couple hermits and snails.
