Truvu Nano Cube
 

I'm setting up a desktop nano cube for my office. Here it is so far. I plan to replace the existing Actinic bulb with another 10000K bulb.

Wow! that's quite the nano you have... looks REALLY nice.

Inspires me to setup a tiny nano like that.

Good job.

Terrific tank Sam!! :cool:

Where did you get the tank from??

Christy :)

Thanks guys. Hey Christy, the tank is from King Ed. I bought the tank last year but didn't do anything with it until now. The tank price has dropped $10-$20 since I bought mine. I think they don't sell well because it isn't a complete system like the Eclipse 6. However, I find this tank much nicer looking than the Eclipse 6 which I also have. I'll post another pic later with more ambient light.

Out of curiosity do you feed the inverts with anything :question:

Bob, I feed the tank cyclopeeze, mysis shrimp, frozen rotifers, Liquidlife Bioplankton, and Liquidlife Marineplankton. When I get more Liquidlife Coralplankton, I'll use that too. I feed accordingly so as to not pollute the tank. I'll be testing ammonia and nitrate regularly to check on bioload. Personally, I think they'll all be 0.

Looking really sweet there Sam!!

Thanks Muck.

Here are a few more shots:

Hey Sam,

Do they still sell those tanks at King Ed? Also, if you don't mind me asking..... how much are they?

Cheers,
