    So Here is my rimless 6g nano zoa cube that i custom built by chopping a 10g tank. I did a DIY thread at the link below. I really love zoanthids and i got some really great deals on small zoa frags by hunting for loose frags in the LFS's tank that has their large colonies with other various corals, they have a separate frag tank. I have accumulated 4 different varieties of zoas and have since added a small blenny that seems very happy but i will probably soon return to my 55g reef which is really a FOWLR with one non-photosynthetic anemone warty anemone. In my tank i also have a 2" warty rock anemone, and in the pic, i have a turbo snail that i borrowed temporarily from my 55 to clean algae off the rock from when the rock was in the 55. I also added a bunch of rock, the beautiful dark green/black rocks you see are marble chunks. Me and my buddies were walking down on the railroad tracks near one of their dad's warehouses picking up chunks of coal that fell of the trains that we later burned (burns extremely hot = lots of fun:leer:), when i found a chunk of what was supposed to be someones marble countertop. I took this slab and i broke it up with a hammer and chisel to produce what you see here. The most recent change is the upgrade from a 5000k 27 watt cfl to a 6500k 32w cfl that also has 12w and 21w modes. Below is the link to the DIY thread.
