I have a 24 gal nano. Basically stock except removed bioballs and ceramic rings. Rinse sponges once a week w water change have read your suggest about live rock and am working on that. Checking to see if lfs has filter floss. Have you upgraded pump in the back or added anything to increase flow if so what? And can you replace stock bulbs with better bulbs? I want better light but like the hoodlight/ moonlight combo. How do I upgrade but leave same hood? Thanks for your help Your tank looks so great MBintraining (marine biologist)

I still use the stock pump, I was thinking about upgrading but I felt that the stock was enough flow. If you feel that you need more flow you should go with a rio hyper flow 6. It puts out 350gph and I think the stock is around 290gph. Or you could just add another power head, like a mj600 or 900, to increase the flow in the tank.
For your lights look up nano tuners, you can buy a DIY kit to add better lights into your hood.

You're most welcome! She's great, she's getting really big and talking more and more everyday. Singing and dancing is her new favorite thing and I think walking is a week or two away, she's taken un-assisted steps already but still waiting for that really long walk. :D
Yeah you should post some new stuff, even with only a few new things...Your tank is always a site to behold.
And thank you for asking about Gabby :)

I just had to come back to this thread to look at the new pics again. Lauren, they are truly amazing, and truly a work of art. The ric pic....
it was between that one and the coco worm/gsp pic for my new background!
Can't wait to see a full tank shot!

You seriously need to look into getting some of your pictures published somewhere. They are coffee table book quality and if you decide one day to get them published, reserve the first copy for me!
