Wow Gregg your nano looks amazing!!!!! i wish i could make some progress on mine but life gets in the way so for now ill admire yours and day dream!!! :biggrin:

Grizz the tank looks really good i cant wait to summer going to hit ya up in the summer

Grizz I think someone threw up zoas in your tank! :lol: Looks good :biggrin:

http://i765.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps0bce0fb6.jpg

Are these your Rastas? Mine don't look anything like that :neutral: Not sure if its just my led lights (Eco pico) aren't the best (I know my zoas look very dull under these light compaired to Doug's radions) or if I got the wrong coral :sad: What do you think?

http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps92ff3abd.jpg

Yes those are my Rastas, Laurie. Mine are under a sol & pic was taken with an under water camera though as well but you can deffinately see the different color rings by eye on mine. Maybe your have to grow some more yet.

Showed the pics to Doug and he's pretty sure they aren't the same. This has happened to me before with Ken (sold/bagged the wrong ones) but he was good about exchanging them for the rights ones so hopefully he will again. I pm'd him.

That is a packed little tank there Grizz. Never seen a Nano with a frag rack in it before.
Good job...

I do love my Zoas that's a given :lol: thanks Mike.

Nice to see some of my frags made your "favs" list that favia will look killer once it colors up. Should be green, purple, and bright red I found it colored best in medium light in my tank.


Looks great buddy

Thanks young lad, your nano is pretty wicked to dude. Some major planning & work in there.

Hit me up for what now? A free tour. :lol:

:puke:zoas (wish I could make the word zoa flash) :biggrin:

Thanks Ken, the Favia looks better in person as do most thing.

Yeah I could never get its color.on camera it grew great in my tank, pretty well the only thing that did well lol

Well second to last update on my little nano. Battling some hair algea again for some reason on some of my Zoas frags so I'm going to give them a little dip in a peroxide solution tonight.

And..........about 75 different Zoas.

sounds like shes coming along buddy , how are you handling nutrient export on this bear cub?:razz:

Until about 3 weeks ago I was doing a 5% WC every 3 days but have been slacking due to work & just plain crappy things that keep happening that gets me side tracked. Amazingly my Tunze 9010 skimmer has been pulling a good amount of stuff out of the tank.

i still think you should dose a bit of vitamin c. it would help with nutrient export and give all youre zoo's a boost. just my $0.02

Started on Friday :biggrin:

nice. i usually see results about a day or two after. that stuff works like a charm.

Started with 500mg a day, not sure if that enough or to much but I read a couple threads on a few tanks the same size gallon wise dosing 500 mg / day.

Update please :mrgreen:

poke poke :razz:

Alright, well the time has come for my final update on my nano. It has been a bit of a challenge over the last couple weeks as I have been so damn busy. Battling a bit of hair algea and a bit of dino as well, so I have been dipping a few frags in revive every couple days & making sure I get my water changes done in a timly manner.

Here's a FTS, top view & a closer shoot from the front split in to photos.

Looks great,but I saw some free space:razz:

Need a "Grizz Gold" me thinks!

Thanks girly!! Jammed packed it is, just wish the colors would show through in pics.

I might be able to find a few sq mm to some more...........ZOAS!! and yes need some Grizz's Gold and Mohawks for sure!!

JUST HAVE TO SAY......
 

As this contest comes to a close in a few short weeks I would just like to thank Denny for getting this contest off the ground.

I would like to thank the ones who have donated the prizes for the contest, not that they were really needed cause its more about what we can put together it is very much appreciated.

I would also like to thank all the members who have incouraged us all to keep going. I hope when it comes time for the members vote poll that we can get a BIG number of members to vote & set a new record for number of votes.

And last but not least to the judges, thank you for taking to time to view all the contestant's nano threads & eventually crown a winner.

Good luck to all that are still actively in on the contest.

..........now where is the lawnmower!

No Lawnmower just a scooter Blenny, lawnmowers get to big to fast for a nano. There is a Dottyback & a bangin cardinal in there but when I turn off the flow they tend to go hide behind the rocks for some reason. Also 3 peppermint shrimp in the rocks as well

As far as I know....these don't grow right? ;)

I thought my tank was packed being a nano but LOOK AT YOURS! One word:

FANTABULOUS

Ready for there new home!

That came to mind right after I hit post that you might be talking a real mower :biggrin:

Thanks for the complement, it's really hard to place all these frags, mini colonies and such in the right place. When it all gets moved to my 60 gal cube it's going to look empty :biggrin:

:clap2: sweet!

I can't imaging the colours being brighter and deeper as it is truly stunning to look at in you pics. Awesome, awesome corals!!

Gotta love all the stuff you 'stuffed' in there Greg

Looks nice

Thanks Cheryl, it's amazing that some of my pics where actually taken with my iPhone 4s.

Thanks budzz!
