---This is my first official post for the annual 2012 Nano Contest---

Hello everyone on Canreef,
This is my entry for the annual 2012 Nano Contest!
I hope everyone has a great time in this contest and above all, has tons of fun. It looks like 25 people in the contest are going to keep this interesting.

My entire goal is to create a beautiful, responsible and stable Marine Environment for all living inhabitants to be enjoyed for the long haul!

The basic plan/idea for this tank will be “Island Rock Pile” including some slope full of Pallys, Zoas and Mushrooms all over the bottom and mid edges. LPS located on the bottom and mid-level of tank while SPS may be placed anyplace deemed necessary! Who knows what surprises may POP up now and then! I may decide to have some gobies or invert only style tank to keep husbandry schedule under control!

Now as for some past tanks I’ve kept:
55G Cichlid tank
46G Reef tank
10Gal Reef tank
3G Pico tank

----------------Some Inspiration----------------
Nice Colors

At the moment I’m unable to find some clear photos of the past tanks, because I really don’t keep track of the photos that well haha. When I find some they will get posted.



Here are the specifications for the tank!

----------------Equipment----------------

1) Pet Smart Standard 10G
1) DIY-ADA StyleAquarium Stand
2) Bright Aquatics Full Spectrum LED Reef Lights
1) Eco Plus 200 watt Titanium heater
1) Digital Aquatics Reef Keeper Light
1) Bulk Reef Supply RO/DI 75gph Economy Unit
API Master Reef kit
Oceanic Hydrometer
Instant Ocean Reef Salt

----------------Filtration/Circulation----------------

20% Water changes weekly
8 Pounds of semi live rock and 2 Pounds of Live Rock (from established system)
1) Koralia one (425gph)
1) No name water pump (200lph)
Unknown amount of Mini snails
Unknown amount of Mysis
Unknown amount of Mini stars
Unknown amount of Pods

----------------Livestock----------------
Yet to be determined

----------------Photo Requirements----------------
Empty Tank Shot
