Off the Wagon - New Nano
 
So to prevent further withdrawals I setup a little nano, thought I'd post some pics for some feedback.

It's a modified Fluval Edge with a small sump and Cree LED lighting. The vase next to the tank serves as the top off container which is gravity fed into the sump.

Just starting out so not too much livestock yet.

That's a great clean looking nano! How many watts are the Cree's and any idea on stocking yet?

That would make for one heck of a zoa garden, great top down view on it.

You really do have your own way man. I can't pin it down but I really like whatever it is you do. Can't wait to see how this develops. What are your real plans for the next tank?

Thanks. The leds are 3W a piece, there are 6 of them all together, 3 white, 3 blue.
Yeah some zoas would be sweet! You got any for me :wink:

Yes, its a kit from rapidled mounted on a chunk of aluminium flat bar with an acrylic shield.

Thanks man, I try. :mrgreen:
When we buy a house I'll setup my 100 gallon again and probably stick with the same type of livestock as before. We also want a larger fish only but that'll depend on the house. Right now we're just renting a condo so this little nano is hopefully going to hold me over for a few more months.

Well I'm running out of room in the zoa tank so a frag snipping will be coming up shortly, I will certainly shoot you a PM when there done up.

Very eloquent! I like it. I agree, some zoas would look killer in there.

LOVE seeing the Edge done like this! It's a great little tank, and it looks amazing as a saltie!! Nicely done
