Yeah, obviously if its what the aquarist is going for thats cool. Spanko brought up a good point that some may be using the,m as a DT and frag tank.

Has anyone else noticed a strange trend resulting from the over abundance of small fragged corals; in which alot of the nano tanks are just full of plugs and square wedges w/ tiny pieces of coral? Sure you want to have alot in a small tank, but it gets to a point where its just a chaotic layout...

Cool, Thanks Nike, good to know. When I got the frag it was completley flat and about 3/4" by 2" or so. All the scrolling and curving has come about on its own. Ok the tank is coming along really well. I've been slowly working on getting my calcium back up, a few weeks ago I noticed it was at...

You may not need the info now, but glass weight is roughly 160 pounds per cubic foot, or for your 3/4" glass around 10 psf. Which calcs out to about 400 pounds just for your glass.... thats heavy! Tank is looking great btw.

I have almost The exact same set up as soviet taco. Except I have a 3 inch plexi box in the center chamber with some live rock followed by the chaeto. Then a nano glo through the back glass. It works greAt.

Your full tank shots look great a few posts back. Really vivid colors. That is an awesome rock tank I wonder if there is flow coming through the center of the rock in the middle. That crab is freaking huge though!

yeah, I was asking what the types they are, it looks like you have actinics, 10k and something else. Or is it just the angle?

wow those are amazing lights. you may have answered this previously but I didn't wanna read through the 100 pages. What are the three different types you have going on there? They are all T5's right?

Yah I'm more of a caddilac margarita on the rocks man myself. Reposado Corralejo with sweet and sour in lieu of "margarita mix" a bit of lime juice topped with some grand marnier

Early on in this hobby for me I was told to get a diamond goby by my local fish store to clear up cyano issue, and the exact process of events happened that has been described here. The goby did great for a while, then started to look scrawny and wouldn't accept any prepared foods then died...

Kiefer, I have a frogspawn in my 24 gallon nano. I originally had it on the ground and nothing happened. I now have it up about 12 or 15 inches; and it is in higher flow. It has gone from 2 heads to 4 in about 4 months. It looks like meowzers is elevated as well. I feed it nothing, because I've...

Well I got a piece of amazon drift wood, and boiled it for an hour, before putting it in. Since then, which has been about 2.5 months. The water is slightly greener with a bit more dark algae on the plants. But It does have a more natural look to it now. Feeding time! Maybe time for a 5...

Nice looking frags and ric's, what color is your tanks rock according to your eye? It looks an interesting shade of green in your pictures.

I use a marineland one as the sole filtration for my 5.5 gallon. recently I switched out the carbon/filter with a half unit of chemipure, and I will probably put the carbon/filter slide back in within a few days. I think I'll do this peridocially to absorb additional nitrates and phosphates...

Interesting, I always heard that mantis shrimp can't be kept in a glass tank, is that only for certain species or just a myth? (nevermind just read your full thread and apparantley this is an acrylic tank, the one shot looks like a corner of leaded glass)

Very cool! Nice inmprovised plate connections there!
