    It is a 1 1/2 gallon reef aquarium!!!
    Yeah, just a little more water than a gallon of milk!
    Keep laughing...

    The tank has a hang on filter, 4" heater, and a coralife 18watt lighting fixture with 9 watt actinic and 9 watt 10000K bulbs.
    I have three purple mushrooms, a Kenyon Tree frag, three Peppermint shrimp, Astrea and Nassirius snail, two Cerith snails and assorted zoanthids!
    Tis it...
    Very simple but elloquent!

    Very cool! I'm thinking about setting up nano in my office, something like that would go well on the corner of my desk. Good luck :)

    Thanks!
    I do a water change weekly is all. I have only 3 shrimp and no fish to really degrade my water, though I run no protein skimmer!
    I change maybe 16 ounces of water(hahahahahaha) pretty funny!

    Wow. Water changes must be a breeze (the physical act of changing the water. I'm sure mixing it up right might be a bit touchy.)

    Looks good! You now have the 3reef record for the smallest tank on the site! :D

    Oh wow, I need one. I would love to have a little nano in the office.
    I would love to just have a sun coral and maybe a crab or shrimp and a couple pieces of small LR. That would be so cool!
