I guess this is considered a nano tank... so here it is!

Lighting is 130 watt coralife PC. Prizm skimmer and AC 200.

This tank is about a month old now.... some of the corals were taken from my 5 gallon nano, some I got from Anthony, and others I just put in from OA. The corals include some zoos, frogspawn, pulsating xenia, toadstool leather, galaxy, hammer, candycane, and mushrooms.

Inhabitants:
2 black + white saddleback clowns
1 royal gramma
1 yellow goby
1 coral banded shrimp
blue legged hermits
snails

I also have tons of macro, and lots even growing right out of the liverock (I got some great peices with tons of life from King Eds, i forget where it was from though). See the pic close up on the macros growing on the live rock... there are some ive never seen before.

Enjoy!

Yeah its just the prism.... IMO adding the 'deluxe' part is not worth the bucks! ;) I like these skimmers for smaller tanks.... granted I have not worked with any other skimmer before. :mrgreen:

Nice pics what camera you using?

I'm using the Nikon D70 DSLR with 18-70mm lens. I'm hoping to get a macro lens soon... ;)

I've already gotta update these tank pics!
hehe

Thanks

The light is PERFECT on the 20 gallonH, however we have one on a 20 "tall" which is really 25 gallons and the light doesnt get down to the bottom quite as well.

I even had an anenome doing great until it became stubborn and stuffed itself in a crack under the rock and wont come out to find the light. I feed it but its still slowly bleaching.... stupid thing.


I'll post more updated pics soon
