I would expect nothing less from someone on a pirate ship, steal away!

Just wait more to come this week, made the hanger for my light but still have to mount it, still have to hook up my AC Jr., get some sand & rock in to it.

Ok so after working in the snow all day in Edmonton ( not a good thing when you are a welder ) & freaking out because your wife txt you to tell you the power is out, I finally get home around 8 pm to find big tank is ok but a little cold. So I start on getting a few thing done on the nano.

First the light hanger for black SOL, I put the control on the arm for a lack of a better idea for now:





Then I washed some sand & through it in. Moved the tank back to the wall and refilled it. I hope to have time to set the rock in tonight also think the flow is a little low so I might pick up a bigger pump on the way home again from Edmonton.


I hope the judges will be kind to me as I am a few days off the time line but I am a busy man and working out of town ATM.

Enjoy and more to come.

Alrighty then, shall we continue.............

Decided to pick up a nano skimmer instead of using the Tunze 9010 (save that for something bigger)



Skimmer in place along with heater, ph & temp probe



Found a few nice pieces of rock and came up with this so far.




A bit of a side view, you can see the placement of all the equipment except for the AC Jr. power bank which is mounted under the tank.

Once everything is stable there are a few small pieces of rock that will be added with some Maxi Mini Anemones on them.

As for finned residence I am going with a host of nano fish, a few different colored clown gobies, a small Starry blenny, a Barnacle blenny and a few more that I have not totally decided on yet.

I like to call it AquaHedge

I never thought of that, cause all my maxi's are in the big tank.
