I like the look of your tank. I have a 10g as well, but i need to go in and re-aquascape my tank. I'm glad you said something about lighting being very important because most people don't think about it till later(like me). If anyone is interested in getting a good light for a 5-10g nano, I just bought the Aqua Medic Oceanlight 70w MH. This light has done wonders for my tank since I replaced the CSL 32w retro I had on it.
Another thing I have found that is very important is water movement. I noticed that you added an additional powerhead within the last pic or two. I just put a rio 180 in my tank to get the water flowing fast enough for my leather to get good water movement.

very good. why did you get the 70w? i think the 150w is only 10 bucks more. anyways, light and water movement are both important. my filter is powerful, but it was more of a "bumpy" flow. my rio 90 provides more than enough flow. to much flow would probably piss off my clam, which is in the picture below
.
this gold crocea clam has a slight green trim around the outer mantle, while the inner mantle is a soft violet, delicately covered in white-gold speckles.

I have a gold maxima in my 10gallon with the same lighting. He has been in there for 6 months now and doing very well. Nice big mantle

well guys, its been a long time. working a lot... ok heres the story. the clam was doing awsome, then one night a worm came out of rock and touch the clam. i hit the worm with a spoon and it shot back in the rock. the clam ended up comming back out so i thought nothing of it and went to sleep. the next moring when the lights truned on the clam did not come out. i came back 4 hours later and it still wasnt open. i came again before the lights turned off and he was still closed. then the next moring he was open and hermits were eating it. i was so upset. here is the most recent pic, ill take a newer one tomorrow. (notice the clam in the middle.
