    Still going through the last stages of a diatom bloom so the glass is a little brown. Also, here is a pic of the rockwork before I aranged it. I can't figure out which way I like it better. What do you think?

    *guess you can kinda see my diamond goby in this pic. He decided that the water was cleaner on the other side. :( didn't make it.

    Thanks. I was very surprised at how only 8lbs of rock took up half my tank. :-/ I wanted a few more lbs but there just isn't enough room.

    hello there blue falcon!
    how long has this tank been running? im curious to know your set-up and how things work out for your nano tank. mine's an 11g with a 10g sump. it's only over a month old now. had one death, my cycling damsel. sorry to hear bout your goby. i got a blenny and hope it wont jump out.
    btw, i like the second arrangement. it looks balanced. the first one seems to need more rocks to feel complete.

    It's been running for about 4 weeks. I don't have a sump (but will when I upgrade). I'm running an aquaclear 20 and a skilter 250 (modified with an air diffuser) This tank is being cycled 35 times an hours. Did somebody say "overfilter" LOL;D
