A few new tenants in the nano, picked up in Calgary yesterday. Excuse the dirty glass, really need to clean it.

I have been thinking of maybe adding a few SPS frags to the nano but unsure. Need to build a little egg crate deck before my return pump to hold some filter floss & increase the flow.

Thoughts?

Start with something easy and low maintenance, like birdsnests. I've found millipora (ime) is fairly forgiving to my poor husbandry as well. Acros IME have given me the most grief so far out of all ive tried. Your definitely skimming enough to keep sps with your tunze, but stable parameters will be your saving grace in that little tank.

Was some what thinking the same way.

Febuary 15 Update
 
All right so after 10 mins of taking photos and 3 hrs of uploading to photobucket here is my update.

Had to do a little rearranging to accommodate the newly acquired frags & have a jam packed nano. The dottyback is doing great, hasn't touched one of my 3 peppermint shrimp, which I was afraid of, scooter blenny is so fun to watch as he scoots around the tank, Bangii card was a great addition as well. I don't see the mandy that often as he has a few new pieces of rock to hunt through.

So on with some pics

Well Photobucket really sucks, I adjusted the exposed on most of my shots but only a couple actually show up properly.

They look properly exposed to me Greg and they look sweet to boot ! Very nice!

Cool that is good to hear & thanks Mr. KIEN :biggrin:

I think I am going to have to remove several of the hermit crabs though as they are starting to pester the zoas as well as a couple of the big mexi turbos.
