Looks awesome, Albert.

That looks pretty cool Albert but I think you should up your dosing of love to at least twice a week :eek:

[Slick Fork]

Looks good!

[christyf5]

That is a great looking little tank Albert! I'm gonna have to try to find one of those hydor black squarish skimmers :razz:

[albert_dao]

Thanks guys.

Regarding the dosing of love: Love is a rare commodity. I only have so much to give.

I'm going to be getting rid of the GBTA today to make room for something less inclined to squat on my Ducans.

Great looking tank Albert!

What's the secret to keeping Duncans with short tentacles? Or are longer tentacles just something they just do with age? Mine are an absolute mess and tangle of tentacles several inches in length sweeping to and fro. I kind of prefer the look of them short (like yours has).

Bright lights, lots of food and high flow from what I can tell.

Looks great Albert, just needs a neon candy cane frag!

[SteveConn]

Albert.. that is one of the most amazing nanos IO have seen! Wow! Love the colors!

[dreef]

WOW very colorful !! Great job Albert,one of the nicest i've seen.

[mseepman]

Wow, very nice indeed. LED's do a nice job with that.

[albert_dao]

Ah, thanks guys! To be honest, I had almost forgotten about this thread :(

I think I'm going to restart the tank with a few changes, getting bored of Zoas. Will update once I get around to it :D
