its about time. 6.6 gallon nano build. (large update!) new additions and PICS!

well guys i have finally comitted to getting back into this hobby, and i have started off with this sweet little nano tank. just arrived in the mail this morning with all the rest of the goods. ;D

my apologies for the very crappy cell pics. i will hopefully have time to get some higher quality pics up later this evening

 

heres where i plan on having the tank. right on my empty desk lol.

the different spectrums this fixture is capable of are crazy. definitely way more tank than i expected for this price.

here are some pics to show a few of the lighting options.

 

already have sand in and got the tank filled up. salinity at 1.026

the sand i ordered was not quite what i was thinking it was from the product photo, but ill make due because it doesnt look to bad haha. although it looks like it would be more fitting for a freshwater tank lol.



5 lbs. of live rock are put in thanks to marco rocks! it just arrived this morning and was pretty cold as it is snowing here in the CO so we will see if it is still alive or not lol.

 

nice looking setup! Can't wait to see it come to life!

 

thanks dude! im unsure what sort of livestock ill keep in it. maybe just a clown? any ideas? also i was not planning to put corals in it but these lights could easily handle some softies possibly some lps.

 

That is a sweet looking tank, are those leds and how many watts? Haven't seen you post lately.

 

yeah its been quite a long time since i have been active on here. i havent had a tank for quite some time.

lighting:

45 - 6500 K white LEDs
6 – Blue/actinic LEDs
5 Watts total i believe. enough for softies if i am correct. im a little rusty on this stuff haha ;D

 

Looks great can't wait to see it come along!
Personally I think 2 small gobies (clown gobies maybe) and a zoa farm on those rocks would look really good!
Keep us updated

 

I vote predator tank with a few sharks and bass jk a Maxi Mini Anemone tank would be cool.

 

clown gobies definitely crossed my mind. a zoa garden would definitely be cool as well! mini maxis would be interesting definitely but i fear the gobies would become a meal. or am would that even happen? haha.
