What kind of lighting/filtration do you have on that. I'd like to set up a little tank in my office so I can look at it while browsing SWF.com :-D

I hate to tell you but thats not a NANO, its a PICO, due to its capacity........BUt thats fine cause Picos rule!
ABout the best filters (hob) to use on the small pico's is the AC20 mini or even the AC30
Aqua Clear hob are pretty much the standard for lots of folks into the smaller tanks, good dependable, can mode the media chamber into a fuge, adjustable flow and quiet. YOu can even add a surface skimmer made for the Aqua Clear hob's, and even the smallest the AC20 Mini can power the surface skimmer even though its not listed for it.

You pretty much posted a picture of my 2.5!! Same filter, different light but looks the same and you have better rock. What are you keeping in yours? All that's in mine so far are green hairy mushrooms because I can't find a good place to order online and I live 5 hours away from a good saltwater store. Good luck with yours!!!

Well that bites !!!
I think I would lose my mind if not for my access to 5 good lfs's.
They're a big help.
I have 6/7 types of mushrooms,1 feather duster,and 3 types of polyps.
3 little hermits (may get more).
I think I will get 2/3 small snails as well.
No fish at this time but may put in 1 watchman with a shrimp.
Give me your e mail and we may work out shipping small frags as available.
If giving out your e mail bothers you, here's mine keiths_reef@hotmail.com
