I love the look of that tank. Let me know how the shipping went from that seller, I've never used the bongo system.

The great reveal.









It did not come with a heater but she borrowed a fluval heater from one of my Edge tanks. It has a slim design to keep with the slim profile of the tank.

Set up.

She chose two great pieces of coraline algae covered liverock from my tank. Fortunately/unfortunately, a maxi-mini had decided it wasn't coming off the one piece. As a result, she wasn't able to take any "out of the tank" pictures of the liverock as not to stress the maxi-mini. She also filled the tank immediately, as a result was unable to take empty tank shots with just the liverock and sand.

She also knows that she broke the cardinal rule of "no carpet anemones in a nano tank" but she will endeavor to encourage it off of the rock so it can be returned to my tank.



After the water cleared up.



Before bedtime.

Maxi minis would be perfectly fine for nanos/picos given that the light and the water conditions are adequate The lights that comes on fluval spec 5 might not be enough for any coral; well maybe just good enough for mushrooms but that's it. Maybe start a DIY led for the setup She will learn a bit of engineering too

What kind of led lighting would you suggest? Shipping as I type and have never bought leds and we wanted to know what we should be looking for. TIA.
