Oh yeah, here's a list of the non-coral livestock:

Fish
Pair of Percula Clowns
One Royal Gramma
One Orchid Dottyback

Crustaceans
Pair of Harlequin Shrimp (the starfish eating ones)
One Fire Shrimp
Two Emerald Crabs
One Boxing Crab

Mollusk
Lots of Stomatella
Several hitchhiker clams


I feed the tank daily with roughly two tablespoons of mysis and a pinch of NLS pellets. Most of that food is target fed to the LPS corals (Acanths, Candycanes and Favia) and the three Dendrophyllia colonies. Also, every second day, I pop in some of the various coral foods (phyto/zooplankton) for everything else. Twice a week, I put in a chunk of chocolate chip starfish for the harlequins.

The tank gets weekly 40% water changes. I suck all the gunk off the bottom and scrape the glass of a little. That's about it...

Wow! your tank looks awesome. I hope that mine looks as nice as yours when I set it up. Thanks a lot for all the information and pics of your tank

cheers

Heh, thanks man! Nano's are pretty easy to run if you're diligent with the maintanance, IMO.

Just do your research on livestock options and plan out your rockwork and you should be good to go.

I have been reading lots about fish. Im taking my time as I do not want to make any mistakes when I set up the tank. I have 2 FW tanks that have eben running for almost tow years not but I know that FW and SW are totally different. I think I wll go for the biocube as it seems to be one of the best nano tanks availables.

cheers

On the topic, I might also add that low lighthing corals aren't necessarily dull. Candycanes, Acanths, Favia and Euphyllias will all thrive under the stock lighting of many of the newer Cube tanks and they all exhibit VERY strong chromatic qualities. Pagoda corals also do well under PC's and are a pleasing green color. Also of note, zoanthids and star polyps have some pretty eye popping color, if you can find good strains.

Finally, I'll make a quick mention of the nocturnal predatory corals of the genus Dendrophyllia. Firstly, they're not beginner corals. They need clean water and diligent, daily feedings. I'm talking a LOT of food here. Each of the polyps in that little tank eats a cubic centimeter of mysis and pellets a day. However, if you're up for the challenge and haven't spent your tax returns yet, these are amongst some of the most rewarding corals in the hobby.

If there's one fish I'd recommend above all others for a Nano, it would be an orchid dottyback. You can get them captive bred and they're mega hardy. On top of that, they're peaceful, have insane color and have no problems sitting right in the middle of the water column in full view.

The photos that Albert posted really don't do the tank justice either. It looks amazing in person. If I would have stood at that counter for 5mins longer I think I would have just tossed my larger tank plans out the window and bought one of those...

definetly the nicest nano I have seen. It is worthgoing to gold's just to look at the tank.
