I would expect nothing less from someone on a pirate ship, steal away!

Thanks Mr. Kien :biggrin:

Just wait more to come this week, made the hanger for my light but still have to mount it, still have to hook up my AC Jr., get some sand & rock in to it.

Ok so after working in the snow all day in Edmonton ( not a good thing when you are a welder ) & freaking out because your wife txt you to tell you the power is out, I finally get home around 8 pm to find big tank is ok but a little cold. So I start on getting a few thing done on the nano.

First the light hanger for black SOL, I put the control on the arm for a lack of a better idea for now:

Then I washed some sand & through it in. Moved the tank back to the wall and refilled it. I hope to have time to set the rock in tonight also think the flow is a little low so I might pick up a bigger pump on the way home again from Edmonton.

I hope the judges will be kind to me as I am a few days off the time line but I am a busy man and working out of town ATM.

Enjoy and more to come.

Alrighty then, shall we continue.............

Decided to pick up a nano skimmer instead of using the Tunze 9010 (save that for something bigger)

Skimmer in place along with heater, ph & temp probe

Found a few nice pieces of rock and came up with this so far.

A bit of a side view, you can see the placement of all the equipment except for the AC Jr. power bank which is mounted under the tank.

Once everything is stable there are a few small pieces of rock that will be added with some Maxi Mini Anemones on them.

As for finned residence I am going with a host of nano fish, a few different colored clown gobies, a small Starry blenny, a Barnacle blenny and a few more that I have not totally decided on yet.

Love the aquascape kinda looks like stonehedge.

FYI maxi minis eat small nano fish, just ask Doug, he can tell ya.

I like to call it AquaHedge :lol:

I never thought of that, cause all my maxi's are in the big tank.

A little update, as I have been super crazy busy I havn't had a lot of time with the tanks.

Anyways, I knew things where going pretty well with my cycle cause the HA was growing like crazy. So I picked up 5 mexi turbos & 10 hermit crabs last week @ RC while I was in the area. They have done a great job so far with atleast 80% of it is now gone. I switch back to the Tunze 9010 skimmer from the little nano skimmer I bought ( regret that purchase decision ) as the collection cup was way to small.

Also picked up a Yellow Clown Goby, Green Clown Goby & Wheeler's Shrimp Goby to go in with my little clown.

Need to raise my light a little bit & set up an ATO system but all in all tank is going not to bad........so far.

DEC 1 update.........a day late
 

All right then, on with the show..............

I have been completely consumed the last week with just being able to get out of bed from blinding migraine, shoulder pain, muscle tension & a twisted vertebrae that I just about forgot to update my thread so here it is.

Livestock thus far:
5 - mexi turbo snails, 10 - hermit crabs, a false Perc, Green Clown Goby, Yellow Clown Goby, Wheeler's Shrimp Goby & a cleaner shrimp ( just cause I couldn't put him in big tank yet )

Also tossed a few zoa frags, frogspawn, blastos & neon candy cane in from the big tank to see if that would help them grow better.

Need to get some peppermint shrimp in to see if they will deal with the apitasia. I also need to increase the flow a bit with a bigger return pump & going to switch out the ACjr controller with a full blown Apex.

Here's some pics taken with my iPhone.
