Well everyone loves pics ya? Thought I show off my newest set up... I have become a nano freak!..lol
For the detail minded. The tank is a 5.5 gallon AGA and is lighted with a CSL 15" fan-cooled 2x32w PC. One actinic and one 10,000K. It has 6lbs of Bali and 5lbs of Fiji rock in it and 15lbs live sand. There is a MaxiJet 400 in it for circulation and a MiniJet404 that pumps to the overhead 'fuge. This is a 3.5 gallon "KritterKeeper" that I drilled and fitted a 1/2" inlet and a 3/4" overflow to gravity feed back to display. 'Fuge has 5lbs live sand and 2.5 pounds of Fiji rubble in it, also got my 50w ProHeat titanium heater in there (broomer, it kicks ass!...lol) I am keeping it lit 24/7 with a desk lamp from Home Depot that houses a 6500K PC.

That's one awesome little nano tank set up !!
For real !
That lighting fixture looks fantastic for that tank. Very cool buddy !
What are you planning to put in it coral wise ?
If you need help with water changes, let me know.
I'll drive over with a few pints of premo mixed saltwater :D
I like it ... high tech heater and all !
Nice !!

Thanks broomer!! I just love this little set-up, it sits here right next to my 'puter so um, well you know... 'puter&nano, wife ALWAYS knows where to find me, hehehehe
Water changes, HA! I just did one like five mins ago... all 4 quarts of it!...lol. I do this every Sat and have a Kent AquaDose dripping my makeup water... thinking back to those days when I had a 30 gallon trash can on the back porch and hoses everywhere and a water change meant the wife just plain leaving the house 'cuz you couldn't cope with the "ordeal"! ....lol
As far as corals...well I am a total 'shroom head! I put a few awesome green metallics in there already but I am kind of taking it easy. The rock I put in there was awesome and I have some small colonies of stars and zoo's popping up. Plus!... I noticed yesterday two purple and three red shrooms about the size of a pencil eraser. I have a friend fragging a finger leather for me that I will add in a week or two but other than that I am just sit back for another month or two and see what grows out on the rock.

Your family must have as much patience as mine if you have that kind of an addiction Broomer. I saw your site and your pics are great! I have 3 tanks in running 2 salt and 1 fresh. I never comment much because a lot of you just might laugh, but I have had great success with levels, just not the finances for lighting. I recently purchased a 29 gallon and splurged on a smartlight. I have noticed growth on my lr that I never had running a 10,oooK and an actinic because I was under wattage requirements. The one thing I have noticed was a growth of hair algea from the use of tap in set up. Anyways I am stoked to see your pics. It fuels my fire! <img src="graemlins//urrr.gif" border="0" alt="[urrr]" /> <img src="graemlins//urrr.gif" border="0" alt="[urrr]" /> <img src="graemlins//urrr.gif" border="0" alt="[urrr]" /> <img src="graemlins//urrr.gif" border="0" alt="[urrr]" /> <img src="graemlins//urrr.gif" border="0" alt="[urrr]" /> <img src="graemlins//urrr.gif" border="0" alt="[urrr]" />
