My Fluval Edge Nano
 
so here it is new setup been up about 2 weeks , no sump or skimmer just the tank and stock filter some live rock and some base rock live sand

went to the Edmonton reefers meeting and was given a few zoa's and mushrooms and some purple thing that has green tentacles ? (Thanks Steve and Craig !!)

picked up a few snails (cuz I was there...Thanks for the help Ken! )

absolutely no support from LFS here in Grande Prairie so this will be a slow going project

the zoas in the video are all new to the tank so they haven't fully opened up but there all doing great now and some new ones are popping up too :)

I found one lonely head on one of my live rocks must have not liked where he was put ... didn't know zoas could move ?

Looks good! I always wondered if there would be heat issues since it's a covered top, how's the temp? Stock lighting?

Pipes1234 04-23-2011 11:34 PM

i put some mr16's in the stock hood but i just hate the pillar light efect that they gave off .... i just dont turn em on anymore so not being a very DIY kinda dood i just bought a little hood for a reptile tank or whatever and stuck a 50/50 screw in coralife bulb and taped up some blue LEDs on the inside around the edges

the temp sits around 80 give or take a few degrees depending on the time of day and the temp inside the house
