new 5g nano for me!!

Beautiful tank. Now the question is... are you going to leave the hight of the rocks where it is?
If so it would be cool to put 1 taller coral right on top.

I think I'm going to add some more rock, I need more room for some non-pink zoos and a few really fantastic ricordea

Well the tank temp was getting a bit much for me. Within a few hours the tank was hitting almost 84 degrees. I was looking into getting an iceprobe chiller but they're a little out of my league at the moment. So I thought I'd try out the coralife aqualight mounting legs to get the light off the tank. It worked like a charm. The tank holds at a steady 79 degrees. Not bad for $15

Of course the requisite pic

So I went to OA last week and got 4 new colors of zoos and 2 new ricordeas The tank is getting pretty full now, although I suppose I could cram one more rock in there if I really wanted to



I switched out the minijet 404 (106gph) for a maxijet 600 (160gph). Its kind of weird going from a full on SPS tank with major flow to a nano where you don't really need everything whipping around the tank. Nevertheless, I upgraded the pump and everything is sort of gently wafting in the breeze now which makes me happy.

Also one of my neon gobies which was being harassed by a sharknose goby managed to make it into my overflow and down into the sump. I figured I'd let him hang out in the nano for awhile and so far I think he is a bit confused by the lack of flow as well I put his little nori PVC in there and he was eating like a champ so it certainly hasn't affected his appetite.

That nano looks great! I wish mine looked that good when it was running!

I love the zoo's. So easy to keep, and they look so damn good

[muck]

hehe.. I love the little neon goby in there.

I see he has the same purple disease your Blue Tang has..

[Chaloupa]

Your tank is looking excellent Christy! A couple of those zoo's would look great in my Mom's nano!!!

Ok at this point I DEFINITELY need more rock. My zoo fetish is getting a bit out of hand. Just as I was thinking, gee the tank looks pretty good I get the OA newsletter and the next thing the phone is in my hand
I'm thinking about just stuffing the tank with rock at this point

Ok so more pics just so you can see, plus I got some KICK A$$ zoos from Scavenger.

Tank pic:



New zoos


And a ricordea I missed in the big tank (thank god the crabs missed it too :rolleyes)

[Midknight]

Looking great, but if it is getting too full I can help house some of your extra zoo's.

[christyf5]

Hehe, I'll give them time to grow yet

Oh and I forgot to mention. That orange ric I added to the tank. His greeting to the tank was to roll over onto my green blasto and melt one of the polyps. You can see the damage in the bottom left hand corner. Some of those rics have a crazy powerful sting to them
