All right then, on with the show..............
I have been completely consumed the last week with just being able to get out of bed from blinding migraine, shoulder pain, muscle tension & a twisted vertebrae that I just about forgot to update my thread so here it is. Livestock thus far: 5 - mexi turbo snails, 10 - hermit crabs, a false Perc, Green Clown Goby, Yellow Clown Goby, Wheeler's Shrimp Goby & a cleaner shrimp ( just cause I couldn't put him in big tank yet ) Also tossed a few zoa frags, frogspawn, blastos & neon candy cane in from the big tank to see if that would help them grow better. Need to get some peppermint shrimp in to see if they will deal with the apitasia. I also need to increase the flow a bit with a bigger return pump & going to switch out the ACjr controller with a full blown Apex. Here's some pics taken with my iPhone. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

looking nice greg!
how on earth are you running a 6025 in there without it ripping everything to shreds? I tried putting one in my 28g nanocube and I found the the flow was far too strong. |

The 6025 is actually not running any more, I plugged it in for about 10 mins & pulled the plug. You are correct that it's way to much flow for the nano. I have a couple smaller pumps I am going to try out to see if I can get the flow rolling a little better.

Well a few days late on my update but here it is anyways.
Not much new for fish livestock but added a few zoa colonies, some hammer & frogspawn heads. I thought I would see if I could get a few neat shots with just my blues on & they turned out not to bad, not professional shots but cool. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

All right lads & ladies here is my Jan 15 update a few days early as I have no idea when work might take me on the 15th. Sadly due to a major fluctuation in my Salinity while I was away working for 3 weeks I lost the 4 fish I had in the nano but that issue has now been addressed with a proper ATO system & salinity is has been holding steady @ 1.025 for over a month now.
I will be looking to add some peppermint shrimp ( if I can find any in Edmonton ) as well as a few fish. I think I will add a few fire fish, a red scooter blenny and whatever else I find that catches thy eye. So with that said on with some pics: FTS ![]() Top Down ![]() Some Close-ups ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() More in just a few minutes.............
