Ok, so I saw this on another thread and it seemed like a really fun idea! I don't know if anyone else would be interested in joining, but what the heck? Ill post it and you guys decide!
So basically it will be a thread started for just nanos started together.
Ok, the ground rules are:
-No more than 20g total volume! (no 20L preferred... since they offer advantages over other nanos such as surface area lighting options)
-No sumps
-Open budget/style/equipment (do and spend what you want)
-The tank can be cycled no earlier than Friday Aug 31st so they will all be "young" tanks (or at least this month) and then have to be started (wet) before september 1st.
-This is not a competition... we might open it to a TRT's poll at the end to see which is the favorite (maybe a couple of categories), but that is not the goal. The goal is to"jam" and share ideas, approaches, philosophies, and have really awesome nano-tanks.
OK, if you are starting your coration: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 128); " target="_blank">build here, start off by giving us:
- a basic plan (build staged you expect to complete)
- physical parameters (tank size/volume, flow, filtration, lighting etc)
-stocking ideas
Ill start it off then:
I started a Picotope 3 gallon today. It has the stock filter on, with an added 20 gallon HOB filter also. I bought a PAR38 for the light upgrade. It has 12 LED, remote to control color mix, and dim.
I started the tank off with about 2 inches of live sand from a settled tank, and about 4 pounds of LR.
I put in quick cure, and I'm going to let it sit for a while to cycle before i start adding anything.
Ill post some pics up tomorrow!

Alright guys, take it as you want! It would be cool if others started a nano together and we could feed off each other and watch each others progress!
Only thing: no nanos that are already started, this is ONLY for new tanks!
