Nano's 5G Pico project

no more pics yet...waiting for the rest of the stuff to open first...

a 1.9 g vase would be very small, but a fun little project...

 

brandon did it now more people followed then me!;D

 

no 1.9 anymore now a 0.6 gallon bowl!

 

well here a couple fuzzy pics, my skills suck and my sand was just kinda stirred up from cleaning..
FTS

new frog:

new favia:

new chalice:

and a colour saturation adjusted pic from today...still blurry though:

 

wow time to blow the dust off this thread...

been a long summer, very busy and what not...and after formatting ym PC i completely forgot to put this site back in my bookmarks...

anyway back again with some new stuff to show..
first a vid from a couple months ago, after my self inflicted mini crash..ended up losing all my SPS, LPS and some of my softies...i was super ticked to say the least...

and here is a video from earlier this week...

and here are a couple up to date as of today pics...
tank is now sporting a mj1200 for a return instead of the mj900 i was using, also have a old koralia1 in there right now but a new koralia nano is sitting in my closet...and the biggest and best change by far is the lighting upgrade from 6 luxeon pieces of poop to 10 cree XR-E leds...what a huge difference

NEAR...

FAR...


thanks for all the positive comments and feed back so far guys...keeps me and this little tank going...it doesnt hurt either that i havent had a single water on the floor issue with this tank either which makes wifey much happier and interested in this too...and i am ver happy to add that last month one of my cleaners released a clutch of babies into teh water column (which made my fish very happy) and today both shrimp have a clutch...very cool too see....i have also apparently started a collonista snail orgy program in my tank too..

 

Looks sweet! it has come a long way for sure. Good to see it back again lol.

 

amazing!

 

Holy cow that's fantastic...

 

wow blast from the past I remember I loved these glass vase tanks and haven't been able to find one although I haven't been looking hard at all... hey If its not to much trouble I would love to c a picture of your sump and under cabinet set up!!!!

 

Thank you, thank you, thankyou...

sure no problems....i had to pic the tank up and turn it today anyway to change out my floss...sadly the stand was designed to go beside my couch not in the corner, so in order for me to get to the sump i have to turn the entire stand around...(yes, every time i want in the cabinet...twice a day for top off and every couple days to change out floss)

but anyway here are the pics...lol
Full shot tank sump stand...no flash, as it is when opened up

sump no flash, after the refractometer and a couple things are moved out..

sump with flash, you can make out the abg of purigen, there is also chemipure elite behind it, a ball of cheato (that hasnt grown an inch since i put it in there 10 months ago), also see the ehiem heater, filter floss, and the return plumbing...timers and power is all up in the top left of the stand...hope that all helps..

random tank shot, i have got to get a better camera...but curved glass and blue lights make it an absolute b to take pictures...
