Lovely, but I do miss the pink leather(Sweet, got me looking for one!), doesn't look crowded now though. :joy: I love to look at nice tanks big or small ***) Yours is no exception!

I have a tank that has a built in filter in the back.

Then I also took out the big sponge it came with (it just adds nitrates, and it takes out a lot of stuff that your coral feeds on) I put only one small strip of media filter...I hope this helps you out. As for corals I started adding coral after my tank was done cycling. My green star polyps came already on my live rock so I had that before my tank was done cycling.

very nice nano sexy.
about ur sexy shrimp i think it is also known as a harlaquin shrimp. if thats the case i hope ur local lfs told you that they only eat starfish. i could be wrong with identity but couldn't hurt to find out. i had a nano for a while and if you want it to look fuller get frag from the star polyp and get it to grow on the back glass. or even better get some xenia it grows faster. :thinking:

Nice Tank! gorgeous!
I have a 25g and i wanted to look like your tank man! it looks good!
I have a overhead filter and i'm usin those ceramic rings and the filter pads, after reading your post i wanted to yank out those filter pads and ceramic rings. do you use a skimmer? lookin at your tank pictures above i saw a return line behind the rocks is that caming from a sump? since you put liverock rubles on your hob filter did you also have lighting for it? or it doesn't need one?

Thanks! No, i dont use a skimmer, but it never hurts to have one. Im not to sure what your looking at about the return line, i think its just a airline tube that got cought in the picture. I dont have a HOB filter, its an overflow. Live rock doesnt need any light.

since i have an HOB filter, i got a crazy idea to make a mod out of it. Could you give me comments about this mod if this would work? don't have an idea of what to put if ever on the second compartment.
