Default Beverly's 10g Nano

We upgraded the light on our 10g over the weekend. It now consists of:

- 4 x Aqueon 50/50 4 x Aqueon 50/50 Mini 6" 10w bulbs = 200w
- 2 x Globe LED MAX 5000K 4w bulbs from Rona = 50w
- Total 250w incandescent equivalent
- Total 48w power consumption

Dear husband Chris is in his woodworking shop putting together Version 2.0 of the hood.

Here's the video of the new lights.

It's been awhile since I last updated my tank journal. There really isn't much going on in my 10g. My frags are settling in very nicely and all is going well.

I've been thinking about upgrading our ghetto lighting to LEDs, but don't seem to want to spend the big money for a 10g. I also don't have that itch to upgrade the size of our tank, either.

So, in the mean time, I spend a lot of time just hanging around the little tank watching the amphiphods and copepods running around. Coralline algae is beginning to take hold. And something large is pooping in one spot near the front of the tank. I've even seen the strings of poop drop to the bottom of the tank - which has no substrate - so the poop strings really stand out after a water change.

Yeah, I guess I'm at that stage where I'm totally engrossed in observing all the life that came in on the rock and frags. Life is good when it's so simple

While putting supper together this evening, Chris noticed one of our hithchiker snails releasing eggs. I had to scramble to get the camera and here's what I recorded...
