Skimmer is now up and running. Went with the Tunze 9002. Love it. It's already pulling decent skimmate.

Also, my kenya tree somehow managed to drop a couple babies that landed in the sump, and with the fuge lighting for my macro, they are actually growing well lol.

Also have a massive white sponge growing on the underside of one of the rocks. Best pic I could get with my phone.

Wow, that's the most complicated and hi tech mini nano I've ever seen. My 5 gal nano just has a power head, heater and live rock. I just change a couple gallons every 4 or 5 days. Nice job man. I gotta bow my head in shame now.

The Candy Canes had some mad tentacles today for about 15 minutes.

Don't think I've ever seen that before. Guess I should get me some candy canes.

Yeah I like candy canes. I really like how they are perfect for letting you know what something isn't right in your tank. I find they don't grow or expand when something is off, or the tank is in need of a water change.

Update 05/28/2012
 

Couple small things to update.

My calcium was low, and the 150W halide was too close to the tank, so it started bleaching the coraline white. So I raised the light 6" and everyone seems extremely happy.

Also got a couple zoa frags from Kevin at Red Coral

I will get some SLR pics tomorrow.

wow that looks sweet man! You almost have as much support infrastructure around that little nano as I do on my 150g reef :lol:

Hahaha yeah it was a little overkill. My plan was to try beginner SPS in it like birdsnest and monti's n' such. But i've been to pre-occupied with the bigger tank project. Oh and building a deck. And Landscaping my house. And renovating my bathroom.....Think I might have too much on the go...

Here are some better iPad pics

Very well done.
Just out of curiosity what does the temp range a closed tank like that from the MHI?
On my 34 gallon I had to add a chiller in order to maintain a stable temp.

I've never actually had a problem with fluctuating heat from the halide at all. I do have A/C in my house though, so that might contribute to the stability. But it stays constant 80 degrees all the time.
