For most aquarium hobbyists, having a coral reef in one’s home could be considered the holy grail of the hobby. I firmly believe that none of the other sectors of this hobby come close to what a reef tank can offer. From the enormous array of fish, all the brightley coloured and shaped corals, soft, and hard, the allure of algaes through to the diversity that comes in the forms of other invertebrates like crabs, snails, shrimps and all the other wierd and wonderful creatures.

It has long been considered that a reef aquarium should be a large project – however that isn’t the case thanks to advances in the hobby and the availibilty of all-in-one reef tanks. Thanks to the popularity of so called nanoreefs, having a slice of coral reef is a reality.

What makes a reef aquarium a nano?
Many hobbysts will spend hours debating what should constitute a nanoreef – we here at nanoreefblog simply see all displays under 55g (US gallons) as part of the nanoreef club.

What does nanoreefblog offer?
We hope to bring you all the latests news, product reviews, stunning mini reef profiles and interviews with professionals and hobbyists from around the world all related to this small niche of the marine aquarium hobby. In addition, we hope to highlight and explore all the various methodolgies which can be applied to our little boxes of water. If you want to contribute, please get in touch, we’d love to hear from you.

Nanoreefblog will also serve as a journal of sorts following the progression of our very own ZEOvit based SPS dominated 12g nano reef. You can find out more about the system here.
