26 Gal. NANO

Ok so another little tank build. I picked this 26 gallon nano up off of craigslist for 100 bucks. I couldn't pass it up for a tank in the bedroom. It has 150 watt Halide with 8 led's for actinic moon. Will update on some progress soon. I am planing on moving some xenia to it from the other tank and I have some of the orange skirted zoas in it from some live rock I bought. May move a hairy mushroom there as well and get some new addition corals later on. My wife wants a clown pair in there. I am done with any more tanks as now I have 2 saltwater and 1 planted freshwater. This is going to be a bunch of maintenance.

 

Nice little tank you have there!
Good luck with it!

 

Thanks and I never thought I would have a nano but my wife liked it after seeing one at the LFS so I got her one. But I have to do the maintenance on it. LOL

 

Hahaha!
They are kind of cool and trying to fit them into a room are not much of an issue, though I still love the large tanks though.

 

Thats why I have my 120 gallon in the living room. I love the big tanks too.

 

Awwwwww that is totally cool!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to see what she puts in it. Good find too!

 

Nice new setup!

 

So the stocking plan per the wife so far is a pair of ocellaris clowns and a cleaner shrimp. Any recommendations on any other inhabitants that would go good in the nano. We are leaning towards a yellow watchman goby. What would you guys put in there.

 

Welcome to the nano world!! We too have a 26gal.. The little yellow watchmen goby are great little fellas.. We had one but it died after we switched from CC to sand.. I would love to get another one.. but we were over stocked anyways.. The sixline wrasse is fun too.. You can see their eyes move when they are looking for food.. they are fun to watch.. Well good luck with the nano..

 

Oh i forgot to mention.. The sixline wrasse may be territorial.. so if you did get one make sure its the last thing in..
