It's amazing how a tank can change over night...

Added 2 fish.. The Copperband Butterfly will not be staying in this Nano (just incase anyone wants to say anything... He's getting transfered to the 75G when its back up and going) The 2nd fish is a Royal Gramma, which has been in hiding since adding.

Can someone ID the SPS for me please?? LOL i suck with coral names/id.

Updated FTS:

Purple Yuma:

Green Yuma:

My FIRST SPS colony:

And a Macro shot of a couple tips:

The Percs WERE nice... one carpet surfed, and the other got stressed to death from the pygmy angel.

The cleaner wrasse was in my 75G before I tore it down to rebuild, so just tossed him in the 20 while I work on getting the 75 back up and running.

oo, ok.

dang, thats harsh man. was the pygmy angel introduced after the percs?

^^ Yea, he was, but I brought him over from my 75G which was HIS tank... so I think he just took over my Nano after the female Perc went for a jump..

Well the 'SPS' part of my build is starting to come alive.. haha.. couple shots of some new frags i got from Red Coral tonight. and 1 unknown Anemone, if anyone could ID it for me that would be great.. plus 3 of the SPS..

I bought a similar looking anemone from Red Coral (from previous owner) about two years ago, and I was told that it was a Carnation Anemone. I really couldn't find much info on it online, other than that it needed to be target fed regularly, wasn't photosynthetic and likes to wedge itself at the base of live rock or sometimes bury its foot into a sandy substrate. It may also be called a Sun Anemone.

I gave mine a small squirt of mysis every couple of days and it seemed pretty happy and after a few months, it split into two anemones. My false percs never really seemed interested in hosting it. I don't know if these anemones have an appetite for fish, but mine left my fish alone.

I was a busy beaver today.... Built a canopy for my MH today. Still needs to be painted (probably black).. but I like how it turned out..

Other than the label why paint black? That size of a board is getting harder to find all of the time.

Oh yeah, nice tank!
