I have been thinking of maybe adding a few SPS frags to the nano but unsure. Need to build a little egg crate deck before my return pump to hold some filter floss & increase the flow.

Thoughts?

Nano is on a distinguished road

Start with something easy and low maintenance, like birdsnests. I've found millipora (ime) is fairly forgiving to my poor husbandry as well. Acros IME have given me the most grief so far out of all ive tried. Your definitely skimming enough to keep sps with your tunze, but stable parameters will be your saving grace in that little tank.

Default Febuary 15 Update

All right so after 10 mins of taking photos and 3 hrs of uploading to photobucket here is my update.

Had to do a little rearranging to accommodate the newly acquired frags & have a jam packed nano. The dottyback is doing great, hasn't touched one of my 3 peppermint shrimp, which I was afraid of, scooter blenny is so fun to watch as he scoots around the tank, Bangii card was a great addition as well. I don't see the mandy that often as he has a few new pieces of rock to hunt through.

So on with some pics

FTS & a top down:




Some close ups of some of my favs:

Well Photobucket really sucks, I adjusted the exposed on most of my shots but only a couple actually show up properly.

Cool that is good to hear & thanks Mr. KIEN

I think I am going to have to remove several of the hermit crabs though as they are starting to pester the zoas as well as a couple of the big mexi turbos.
