hey i appreciate that carlos...i've attached a pic just so that you can at least see how my nano used to look and having to kind of start over, how it looks now.

i know it needs more work but i'll get there.
My fish made it through, my Maroon, Sixline, and down there towards the bottom a new addition my royal gramma.
and as far as my corals go...I have two types of star polyps one in the front that you can see and one colony in the back, yellow polyps, a couple of purple mushrooms, trumpets and some colonies of button polyps.

 

[nissan577]

well your off to a good start! take pics in daylight. and im glad that all your fish made it

i love it so far!

 

[genius172]

ahh thank you and i will take another tomorrow when my daylights come back on

 

[nissan577]

perfect! are you planning to upgrade your lights soon bud?

 

[nano-newb1983]

lookin good man

 

[genius172]

thank you NaNo and yes i do want to upgrade my lights but don't know what to get. do you have any suggestions?

 

[nissan577]

as we all love them yes we do. The sunpod 20" 150watt MH

 

[genius172]

is that what you have?

 

[nissan577]

no i have a metal halide 175w 20k. screwin. the sunpod is 150w DE

 

[genius172]

oh ok cool...so do you have some sort of top on it? I was looking at the sunpod and said that you can suspend it or use a canopy.

 

[nano-newb1983]

I just use the legs that came with it and set it on top of the tank

 

[genius172]

So is your tank just open NaNo?

 

[nano-newb1983]

yup

 

[genius172]

cool...i'm so old school i keep thinking that my fish or cleaning crew would get out lol

 

[nano-newb1983]

Fish could jump out but depends on what kind

 

[nissan577]

just put a metal mesh over the top or egg crates

 

[genius172]

oh ok i never thought about doing that...sounds like a pretty good idea.

 

[nissan577]

perfect. so are you gonna but the sunpod?

 

[genius172]

yeah i wouldn't mind getting one... but can you find one cheaper than $326.00?
