how do i put a pic on here? :(

mine is empty still, but it has preeeetttty rock, and a very nice gentleman (Den) gave me a piece with a mushroom on it! And some itty bitty cutie starfish. So cute. Still trying to find out what they are.

Hey Tina, Glad to see you joined! The tank still looks great! Now upgrade to that 20 you were talking about! :P

There's a nice stickie at the top of the pictures forum teaching you how to post pictures. Here is the link:

Also, could you guys edit the size of your pictures? They're HUGE! :eek:
You can resize them using MS Paint->Stretch/Skew.

ouuu neat. thanks harvey, but i guess you haven't seen it since i got a few more absolutely GORGEOUS pieces... hehe. i LOVE my tank so much. i stare and stare... at rock. and sand. silly me

hehe, thanks so much harvey!

mine is a 10 gallon. and i am madly in love with it. even when my bf is over, i am staring at the tank. it's bad.

chad, is that a porceline crab? i totally spelled that wrong. it's so pretty in there. it's amazing how small you can make a tank.

Eva,
Great looking tank. I love the fine sand and the neat shaped center piece.

Yup it is a one-of-those crabs, I think it makes one of the best additions to a really small tank like this. They don't cause any trouble, aren't shy, are pretty, and differnt enough that people can't help but stop to watch them. I also have a hermit crab and a pepermint shrimp in the tank. I will add a couple more hermits and a yellow clown goby. There is also a little more coral now than when the picture was taken.

- Chad

Well then, I think we will need a new picture Chad... :mrgreen: :razz:

awesome chad. thanks, that center piece is a tonga rock. my favorite piece... doesn't even fit in the tank, but i make it fit :D I'm thinking of getting 2 percula clowns and maaayyybe, if i have room, a high fin red banded goby. so cute.

40 Gallons is still a nano right.. :mrgreen:

RYAN you cheater, get that big a** tank outta here! Trying to rub our noses in it how poor we are! Our nano tanks give us more love then your 40g EVER will give you. You stink!


BTW, nice tank man.

eva

Hahaha, ya, what she said. Sweet looking tank dude :cool: .
New picture on the way.

- Chad

well. where is it chad??? i'm waiting. can't go to bed till i see it!

Haha yikes! Lucky thing I checked email one more time before turning in - I should have said, "I will take a new picture of the tank and then post it".
Woulda been a long night for you! :redface:
Goodnight,

- Chad

hehe. ok. my evening is complete. night!

Here's my 8 gallon:

Picture really sucks, but the tank's sweet... If soon to be short lived - upgrading in the very near future.

It's a whopping 2.75g...

Andy

Rikko, amazing tank! hehe...

Andy, what fish have you got in there, if any?

Little skum on the surface there Andy? Lol.

Chris

There's a red headed goby... There were two anemone shrimp - were being the operative word, both went kamikaze (my fault - I built the tank, didn't build any way to add a top).

Yeah, bit of surface scum, no skimming, little surface disturbance - leads to some. I've also been testing the limits, to see how many water changes I really need in this tank. Used to be I'd do 2 water changes a week at 2L each - now its more like 4L per month. Strangely things seem to be doing better this way.

Andy

Rikko show a pic of your 'puter desk where it will sit :razz:

P.S love the "elbow moisturizer" :rofl:

Anyone who wants to see a nano that is crazy small...check out the www.nano-reef.com forums...and go to Special Interests; Pico Reefs, and click on the 'Tigahboy's Pico Reef" - its a riot!!!

Gorgeous tanks so far!

How are you guys skimming your tanks?? Im wanting to upgrade my tank to a 20g...but have no clue where to get a smaller skimmer?#?@$%

Does anyone make skimmers?? wink wink nudge nudge...

:biggrin: -Tina

What kind of skimmer are you looking for?

Hey guys,

I wanted to "resurrect" this one. After reading the Nanos edition of Coral I'm really interested in setting up a 5 gallon nano tank. Its just a pipe dream at this point but I have some extra rock and sand from rearranging my 90 and would just have to figure out some sort of lighting at this point.

So post more pictures with tank info so I can get an idea of what I need to be thinking of :biggrin:

And yes, I'll be checking out various nano forums but thought I'd start here :mrgreen:

Christy :)

No kidding Christy, it's making me think about my spare 10 gallon I've got here... hey I have a heater too... oh oh..

Doug

What's the maximum size for a "nano"? :biggrin:

Walter

I think its 20 gallons. :biggrin:

Thank god it's not 180 I couldn't afford a nano either then.

Doug

Why in heaven's name would you want to skim a nano. :question: :razz:

If I had a nano tank I'd use one of those air driven skimmers by "Lee" I think. They work suprisingly well for what they are. The only down fall is that they are in-tank skimmers, but you could cover it with rock somehow.

I'm with Bob. I don't think a skimmer is necessary in a nano. Especially since you are already feeding carefully and being diligent with your water changes.

Here is a picture of my pico taken last week (I added a few more things since then, but not too much)

Here's mine. I've posted it before, but here it is again.
