for all the poeple who say they wouldnt run a halide on a nano tank consider this:


my bonsaitree just about touches water level , the whole upper half of the tree is within 5-6" of the 250w halide bulb, and the rest of the tree is within 18"



the upper half is almost grew in , all the zoas and palys up there have grown out , i notice also my cotton candy and watermelon chalice has grown since ive added it up there

none of the anemones have moved either:P

The only thing that stopped me from a halide was heat. With you using a common sump your heat is spread out between multiple tanks. Other than that I love halides

Looks totally awesome. A lot of those corals look like they'll need some space to grow though. It's pretty packed, even after your "thinning out" process.

thanks anthony, yeah im not too worried yet for the most part 90% of the tree is zoos , i have no problems cutting down my sps,chalices,favias and blastos as needed.

i actually removed all the favias and chalices and fragged them yesterday and now they are remounted again lol
