Dakota 569s 24gal Aqua Euro Nano (New Pics 3-09)

Ive added a few new pieces of live stock to the new tank and its starting to look like something .. I took some pics and wanted to share with everyone . They were taken with my phone but it was the best i could do for now. Im very new to the reef hobby but Ive learned a great deal here in the couple months or so that Ive been reading here.. Thanks for the great info 3Reef .

Tank Specs: Aqua Euro 24 with a 150MH 14k and a couple blue autenics.. It came with the AE nano skimmer , and I did try my best to give it a chance, it was just a real pain to keep adjusted and didnt really skim much.. So I got a Red Sea Hang on Skimmer and it instantly started pulling the nasty black stuff that my nano skimmer just couldnt seem to find . I had to modify one of the compartments a bit to fit the Red Sea skimmer in back.. I guess $29 skimmers really dont work do they ...
I also have a 1/10th JBJ Arctic Chiller and a Koralia #1 to help flow a bit , I had a #3 but it was a bit much in that small of a tank .. Any way here are some pics ..Im sure you guys know what all this stuff is , basic starter package stuff to a lot of you guys, but Its all cool to me ;D
There is one small piece that you cant tell from pics what it is, and that is a small frag of blue Anthilia sp? on the bottm left of the tank that my LFS gave me ...

Very nice...

 

Beautiful tank.

I love the blue mushrooms. I want to get some really soon.

 

Looks really good so far, could you put up a full tank pic?

 

Thanks guys, These last couple weeks have been a lot of fun choosing each thing. A couple things ( the Xenia and Blue Anthilia) were freebies from my LFS so I have more in there than I would have purchased on my own... this is so much fun... heres a full tank pic

 

I like your rocks, very cool tank you've got started there.

 

Looks great! I especially like the shrooms

 

Nice shrooms man... Sweet tank..
