It's a 28 gallon Nanocube. I've had the Pygmy for about 3 years. My research prior to getting him was that they were in general reef safe with the occasional specimen being a nipper. I've never had a problem - both clams in there over 1.5 years and no problems nipping coral.

Very nice! Care to share the behind the scenes of the tank? filtration, lighting, etc
Sure! Lighting is a Nova Extreme Pro 20" 6 x 18w T5 fixture with, from front to back, Actinic Blue (dusk/dawn), 12 k daylight, Actinic Blue, 12 k daylight, Actinic Purple (dusk/dawn), Actinic Blue - all True Lumen bulbs.
Skimmer is an AquaMaxx HOB - the best for this tank I've used so far (compared to the stock skimmer, stock skimmer with Luft Pump upgrade, Saphire Aquatics Skimmer, and a Deltec 300 - trying that one hurt the wallet, but I wasn't impressed at all). Rear chamber return pumps are MJ 1200's, augmented by a MP-10 wavemaker in the display. Center chamber basket has floss, Chemipure Elite and Purigen from top to bottom. I use an ATO with pickling lime (about 1 tsp. per gallon) in a jug of distilled water for top off. I dose 10 ml each of C-balance A & B on Mon. Wed. and Fri. in the morning. I feed sporadically with assorted pellets and small frozen foods - target feeding the BTA and plate coral bigger chunks periodically. My last round of chemistry results were: 8.2 pH, 420 calcium, 1600 mag., 9.0 meq/l alk and no nitrates.
