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.

Thanks guys/gals

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.

Default Jan 15, 2013 Update

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:

These 2 colonies are very hard to get the colors just right

these have a very small ring of green between the shirt and mouth


and these are a super nice pink color with very thick skirts

Good job Greg, that second top down picture is amazing. That's too bad that you lost your fish, especially the green coral goby. I love those little guys.
