    It's beautiful! Now sing - "Old McDonald Had a tank, E-I-E-I-O - here a tank, there a tank, everywhere a tank tank...." :)

    I hope you're doing well!

    Ain't that the truth!!! I JUST figured out last night where I could put another 10g. My wife is going to be sooooo mad. Hehehehe. That'll be two nanos in my bedroom, possibly three and maybe four when I am done. OK, I have to stop.

    That's how all of my nano pumps look like, I think it is just the way they were made. Great looking tank John!! I really like the red brain, don't see reds in that color too much. All my LFS's ever get are browns and dark weird colors... kind of a downer but such is life! Any future stocking plans? Anything you have allways wanted but wont work in your big tank?

    Well, it has been awhile since I posted here. Since the last post, my little nova extremes went belly up. First the 10000K bulb burned. Then the actinic went. I am not sure if it is a ballast issue or just cheap bulbs. Probably bulbs. So I will get two more and hope.

    When the lights went out, I removed the corals to my 90 and just left it dark for a month or so. But......I forgot the xenia. Oops. It is now albino and dying. Here are a few pics of the nano. Nothing special. Just proof that it is still up and running. I put the old 14W (T8?) back on.

    A few notes....

    Temp: 78
    SG: 1.024

    Xenia almost dead. Clowns doing great. Female looks like she has grown. Male shows no signs of weight gain or loss. No issues.

    ya know absolutely worst case a clip on light and a 6700k bulb from home depot / lowes will keep corals alive in a small tank right

    some buddies of mine with frag systems do this in shallow water systems to save cash and it works amazingly well, only thing is the corals will grow under 6700k but they tend to be a little less on the colorful side

    The tank looks really great. Anything else? Has it changed any?
