Default new 5g nano for me!!

Wooty! I am offically a nano-reefer!

Well actually I was one awhile ago (my 5 gallon rescue mission) but this one is way cooler.

So I've been wanting to set up a nano for awhile now, mostly because I needed a new project and mostly because some bastage crab was munching on all my zoos and ricordia.

Then it was Kari to the rescue! He built this!! Isn't it fantastic??



Its based on the Tru-Vu 6 g nano. I'm putting a coralife 2x18w CF unit on it and haven't figured out what kind of flow I want. So far, I've bought the wrong bulkhead for it (smooth move eh?) so I'm sure this will be like most of the other tanks I've put together I certainly have enough spare parts for it

I'm hoping to get it running tomorrow I can't wait to see it all set up

Very cool! We need pictures when it is set up. I know what you mean about buying the wrong size equipment - I have a big supply as well - all except the 2" bulkhead and 2" elbow that I really need - and guess what? Neither does anyone else in town......grrrr.....

I still owe you a frag Christy for those zoo's a while back
Let me know if you'd like a frag of either of these to fill the new tank a bit.


Excuse Wally he's a bit of a picture whore.

Ruth I hear ya. I got the wrong bulkhead in Duncan (just happened to see a store while I was there) and figured I could just get another one here in Nanaimo, but it turns out nobody in Nanaimo carries the darned things and the Duncan store is closed on Saturdays Guess I'm not getting this thing set up today after all


Tim, buddy! Those zoos are lookin good I'll be hitting you up for some of those green ones. Some bloody crab in my main tank made a nice snack of them. You should be updating us with a full tank shot How do you like the black sand?? I was going to go with black sand but got an offer of free sugar sand and since I'm attempting to do this on the cheap, couldnt' resist.

A frag of the green is yours Christy. I'll be up Island last week off September So I can drop it off for ya.

I don't have any full shots right now, My tank isn't really presentable.
I had to upgrade into a half finished tank.
Never got a chance to cover up the overflow, So you can see all the plumbing.

Black sand LOL well it was black before i put the rock in.
Over all though i really like it. Brings out the color's really nicely.
