There's a red headed goby... There were two anemone shrimp - were being the operative word, both went kamikaze (my fault - I built the tank, didn't build any way to add a top).

Yeah, bit of surface scum, no skimming, little surface disturbance - leads to some. I've also been testing the limits, to see how many water changes I really need in this tank. Used to be I'd do 2 water changes a week at 2L each - now its more like 4L per month. Strangely things seem to be doing better this way.

Anyone who wants to see a nano that is crazy small...check out the www.nano-reef.com forums...and go to Special Interests; Pico Reefs, and click on the 'Tigahboy's Pico Reef" - its a riot!!!

Gorgeous tanks so far!

How are you guys skimming your tanks?? Im wanting to upgrade my tank to a 20g...but have no clue where to get a smaller skimmer?#?@$%

Does anyone make skimmers?? wink wink nudge nudge...

Hey guys,

I wanted to "resurrect" this one. After reading the Nanos edition of Coral I'm really interested in setting up a 5 gallon nano tank. Its just a pipe dream at this point but I have some extra rock and sand from rearranging my 90 and would just have to figure out some sort of lighting at this point.

So post more pictures with tank info so I can get an idea of what I need to be thinking of

And yes, I'll be checking out various nano forums but thought I'd start here

Christy
