Its staying about 80 give or take a degree. I have my lights come on about 7pm I think. I have a fan on a timer pointed at it that comes on about 10am or so and runs till nighttime when the house is cooler.

Yesterday I was checking stuff on the tank and noticed that the rate of flow from the return pump was super low. I took it off and cleaned it out and luckily it is flowing perfect now. I was worried that the pump got burned out when my water level got a little low on vacation. I took the Chaeto out of chamber two and just put it in the DT and some in my 60g tank. Did a water change and changed filter floss. Still waiting on my phosban order to come in.

So just under two months after buying my tank I finally added my first coral despite my plan not to buy anything else until I got the tank moved into a permanent home. But oh well, it was a pretty good deal. Not sure the exact name but its about 25 heads of green centered brownish exterior zoas. It came on a little piece of rock from my lfs. I'm going to use it as a tester before putting in any other corals. I'll post a pic in the next day or two.

So here is a pic of the new coral. Not sure exactly which type it is because my lfs is run by a bunch of c o c k nuggets but anyways. Numero uno:
If you know the exact type let me know.
Note to self: did a 5 gallon water change tonight.

Green button polyps.
Strontium helps bring out the green in the center which you can faintly see.

For sure. As soon as the move is done I will start adding more but I couldn't wait I had to get one in there asap. This one was cheap and a decent size so i thought it would be a good starter. I just need to rearrange my rocks and get a couple new flat ones with some algae growth on it. Not yet but what do you think I should dose if I have zoos, shrooms, frogspawn, hammer, flowerpot, and stuff like that? Since I bought my setup used should I replace the stock pc's?

Only thing i add to my tank is purple up 2 times a week.. Might be a good idea to chang bulbs, hard tell how old they are.

Oh good I got some purple up but haven't used it on the nano cause I thought it was bad. But if you use it then its all good.

A couple of days ago, took out my blue damsel and replaced him with a cinnamon clown. Also added a sebae anemone. Looking to get a light upgrade hopefully used from someone on my local fourms. Crossing my fingers. NExt online order I make I'm going to swap out my chemi pure for the elite and get rid of the other media I have in there.

This is the current setup for the rocks. Does anyone feel that this will not allow room for coral placement. Let me know.

show us a side shot too, get the 3-d feel for it...btw whats that on your magnet cleaner?
If I were you on the rocks, I'd try to make some different flat levels so that when you do place corral its not all at the same height. Even though the little bridge you got going on right now is cool! :O)

I just put a piece of cloth on it to better get off some of the side buildup, i saw someone else do it and heard it works out well. I'm moving my nano this saturday (the whole tank) so I'll probably move the rocks around a bit too.

Good luck with the move, hopefully its not too far
Now start Filling that puppy up with some zoas hehe
Hows the light Search going? find anything yet?

I may be able to get a solana pendant 150w mh for about 130. What do you think about that.
The sweet ass thing about it is that I have full room to work on the tank obstruction free. Bad thing is no moonlights. We'll see.
