Thanks all for the kind words.
I am happy today,I finally got the finishing touch for my nano.I have wanted one for soooo long,it's a baby bright orange cycloseris...it's smaller than a quarter
I'll have to get some pics of it.
To answer your questions:
The fish are trimma gobies..eviota sp.,they stay about an inch and a half.There is also another goby that stays under two inches,it is a rare white tiger goby.
The tank has it's original lighting,48 wts of PC's.
The pump has been changed from it's original pump to a Maxi-jet 900.None of the original media is being used..ceramic rings,sponges,etc.
I use a small piece of Magnavore pura filter pad in the bottom of chamber one,which is rinsed out daily,and replaced weekly.There is a Jager 25 wt heater in chamber two.I am using a digital temp probe.I made the skimmer mod from a cassette tape box.
Water changes are done twice a week.Top off daily.Additives are a two part A & B made locally called Ocean's Blend...great stuff...I just drop a small amount in every day.
There is approx.10 Lb's of LR and 13 Lbs of LS.
Several colors of zoanthids,mushrooms,ricordias,a torch,frogspawn,blastomussa wellsi,candy cane,trumpets,wood ployps.clove polyps,red fan gorgonian,two feather dusters,a yuma, a small sun coral,1 fire shrimp,2 sexy shrimp,1 small atlantic cucumber,some tiny blueleg hermits,1 cat's eye snail,1 small turbo snail,two bumblebee snails,1 nassarius snail,a few baby ceriths....and now the cycloseris.
I had to remove the green bushy macro you see in the pics...it went sexual in the tank...they do this and then grow another new head.I decided that was'nt safe in the nano,and put it in my refugium for my 75 gal.I had to do an emergency water change of 50% and run some carbon.I put some real nice red macro in there instead.I also removed the maiden's fan macro..it was'nt bright enough for my liking for this tank.

Thank you!
I found the goby at a wholesaler's in south Florida for $8.00,they did'nt really know what it was.{I did
}He is pretty secretive,and hangs upside down in the rocks.He shoots out at lightning speed to eat !
If you look very close in the last tank pic,you can see him in the middle upside down in the rocks.His fins look like two paddles.
