My 5 gal. update!

i just realized that all the while ive been on this site i have never posted pics of my 5 gallon nano setup, its not much i only have a few corals. but it has alot of potential.

this pic shows the lights, one par38 and one panorama module.



these are my corals, i apologise the kenya tree when fully open is about 6 inches but i had just topped off the water and hes a bit sensitive to that. its pretty impressive considering hes grown about 5 inches in 4 months. the other corals were also just introduced to the tank yesterday so they are not fully established quite yet.







heres a couple full setup pics.

Nice tank man! its gunna look great once it fills in!

 

thanks! thats what im hoping, i was planning to purchase some sps instead of the trumpes but they were ridiculously priced, about 50 dollars a frag. these were thirty each. i eventually want to layer the tank with sps on top lps in the middle and some on the sandbed. and softies on the lower rocks.

 

I like that little set up ya got going. How long has it been up for?

 

it was set up but not really going for a long time, ive had coral in it for about 4 months. the tank has been set up a total of 8 months about.

 

It has a lot potential lol. I've seen some really beautiful pico's. Yours is looking really good and you have the lighting to grow whatever you want.

 

yes i love the look of the lights, i was supposed to get the panorama module that was half white and half actinic but apparently petsolutions discontinued them right after i ordered so i recieved this. which was good becaus ei had a spare par38 laying around so i just put that on to accent the blue.

 

I just actually noticed you have a kenya tree in there. Keep an on that one. When they want to, they will just start fragging themselves by dropping a "branch". I've seen tanks that were absolutely covered in them.

 

Very cool looking.

Great tank to just sit and stare at.

 

yeah he is already growing like a weed, he was about half an inch long when i go him for free. he really likes that spot he is at. although i may have to move him because thats some valuable sps space that hes taking up. he would probably do fine closer to the sandbed.
