So what are you using for lighting on this bad boy? (sorry if I missed that..) The Yuma looks amazing.. once they grow/split, frag me off some of that!

What happened to your SPS dominated tank huh? jk.. everything looks really nice. I'll post some new pictures tonight or tomorrow of my tank.

It's still planned to be an SPS tank, but I am waiting for the system to mature alot more. I am currently running 4x24W T5's (2x10K, 1 Fiji Purple, 1 Actinic) however I have a 175W MH waiting to be added, just need to order a better reflector for it, or find one used here in calgary

Thanks for the comments. I use a Canon 40D w/ Canon 60mm Macro lens for the above shots, FTS shots are done using the 40D w/ Tokina 12-24mm.

New FTS for today.. Added a 175W MH.

It's amazing how a tank can change over night...

Added 2 fish.. The Copperband Butterfly will not be staying in this Nano (just incase anyone wants to say anything... He's getting transfered to the 75G when its back up and going) The 2nd fish is a Royal Gramma, which has been in hiding since adding.

Can someone ID the SPS for me please?? LOL i suck with coral names/id.

The Percs WERE nice... one carpet surfed, and the other got stressed to death from the pygmy angel.

The cleaner wrasse was in my 75G before I tore it down to rebuild, so just tossed him in the 20 while I work on getting the 75 back up and running.

oo, ok.

dang, thats harsh man. was the pygmy angel introduced after the percs?

[JDigital]

^^ Yea, he was, but I brought him over from my 75G which was HIS tank... so I think he just took over my Nano after the female Perc went for a jump..

Well the 'SPS' part of my build is starting to come alive.. haha.. couple shots of some new frags i got from Red Coral tonight. and 1 unknown Anemone, if anyone could ID it for me that would be great.. plus 3 of the SPS..
