    Thank you. The toadstool is by far my favorite piece in this tank.

    I don't like the look as much as an SPS tank, but there's so little grow out room for big stony corals in the tank, and it makes keeping water params in check so much easier.

    Thanks.

    Nice nano build! Been thinking about one for my shop and your thread has pushed me a little farther into doing it;D

    Go for it! They truly are as easy as they claim to set up and maintain. Awesome little kits.

    I love your nano & all the pretty colors.
    I hope my corals fill in fast and my nano looks as good someday.

    The nano is my 1st SW tank and so far is easy to take care of
    ~cross fingers~
    and mine isn't a kit, is just a regular aquarium. So yeah go for it reefmonkey.

    I added a little black FW molly to this tank. Hopefully it will keep GHA under control. It looks so out of place in there, and I can tell from the way it looks at the coral that it is very confused.

    Hehehehe....I find that my mollies just blunder through the corals...the poor softies are always getting bugged by them. They did try tasting them several times (as did my B&W Clown) till they decided the corals weren't food. LOL

    It died:(

    If you take a close enough look at this tank it has so much life in it that I may not end up adding any fish.

    lol thank you.

    I love this little tank!

    Saturday I moved it to a coral swap and show to add some eye candy to the Elite Reef table. I didn't move any rocks, corals or sand while moving it there and back. It was easy to drain and move quickly and the corals opened up within a half an hour after the move.
