    Yeah nanos are tough when it comes to heating up.. just bought a chiller. Was so sick of comin home finding 1/2 gallon evaporated outta my tank from my fan. Looks good. Can't wait to see how your corals improve under MH's.

    update :)

    just got back from a 2 1/2 day trip to great America theme park. was a lot of fun. today when we were coming back we stopped at aqualife aquarium again lol it's just right on route so it's perfect.
    I got 4 types of zoas, and a sweet looking mushroom (maybe ric? can't tell because it hasn't opened all the way up but I'm thinking mushroom)
    for $40 :cheesy:

    a cleaner shrimp

    8 nassarius snails (but i got 3 of them free because they were hitch hiking on one of the zoa rocks)

    12 blue leg hermits (got 2 as freebies)

    and some live rock

    still battling the algae so ignore the bad spots of hair algae and such.
    here are some pics but they came out a tad blue

    new full tank shot

    button polyps

    mushroom (ric?) thing
    [​IMG]

    hard to get a good pic but i think they are fire and ice zoas or something similar
    [​IMG]

    this rock has a lot of these zoas popping up places

    the guy at the store thought that they were maybe devils armour but idk not familiar with those

    I'm not sure exactly the name, but I have those.. I bought 8.. in a month I had 24. My tank has suffered the last month, because of heat issues.. some of them melted away. I have a chiller now and added a sump/fuge.. within two days they perked up.. so I expect mad growth the next couple of weeks! Yahoo!

    Those zoo's look to be "armor of godds".Nice tank.I started out in a 12 gal nano tank.Then got bigger and bigger.Now i'm trying to build a 200 gal tank.Just wait you will get the bug to go bigger.It never stops.Good luck.I may get back into one just for my high end stuff

    a 200 gallon isn't exactly within a 13 year olds budget :)
