And clear pics if I may say so.

Yor tank looks really nice.

How big is it.

Looks good mate have you added the tmc nano skimmer? I have one and rate it very highly. Also don't want to seem like I'm jumpin at you but you may want to keep an eye on the size of the tang, they aren't really suited to life in a nano. Always a good excuse for an upgrade lmao

Nice little tank you have there with some nice corals, as said just watch the Kole as a nano is not the ideal place for one. Twiggy:D:D

yeah i appreciate that Bro

that's why I got small tang
i'll move him on when he grows
I've had big tanks before including
5*2*2 fit filtration
3*2*2 Axelrods systemised
3*2*2 running a sump etc
been keeping reefs for nearly 13yrs now

and I prefer this
hardly any evaporation
2 1/2 gallon water change every other week
not running a nano skimmer I had one in it but took it out as there aint a huge food load going in
i used to have a 5gallon nano!!!

there's thread on U/reefs some where

here's a pic with an old mobile next to it for perspective

this was Oct 2003

Gillyskip it's a D&D24, 24gallon (that's an over estimate on their behalf I beleive)

holds about 20gallon after rock etc

Looking good nige...been running a 14 gallon skimmerless nano here for 2 years now, along with the big tank, with no diffs at all.
As you say with a low load going in it really isn't necessary as long as regular water changes are carried out
