    Picked this guy up over the weekend. He's been shy in the tank and hiding all day, or he's nocturnal....either way he's a great addition.

    Also picked up a twin spot goby (first fish in) and have been slowly adding a few corals. But I'm still trying to figure out how to take pics under the LEDs. Everything is just washed out blue. Think I need to put down the pocket camera and pick up my SLR.

    Wow, awesome build so far. Everything looks great. You'll be able to easily go full on sps.

    Love the Golden banded shrip! I have a mated pair.

    The setup is looking slick, be watchful with the CBS mine started eating hermits and 'shrooms. I really like them even though.

    Thanks dude! It's funny, I was planning on mainly LPS, but I already have 3 sps in there. I think the SPS bug is starting to take hold....knew it was only a matter of time, haha.

    I hope to get some good tank pics over the weekend.

    Full tank shot. Not a fan of rock walls but wanted a good amount of rock for filtration since it's a nano. Did the best I could to have ample swimming space as well as a few caves and somewhat interesting shape. I'll get some more pics at different angles.

    Thanks for looking!

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Looks good.

    So hard to do scapes in nanos. The bonsai looks is all the rage but hard to pull off unless you mount the rocks together.

    You have a sweet set up with the Radions and the mp. Is one mp10 enough for that tank?

    Thank you and I agree on the nano scaping. Took a loooong while to place such a little amount of rock, haha.

    Currently only running the mp10 at ~70% and doing a great job. May not do "as great" of a job once the tank is fully loaded...but I think all I would have to do is mount it on the side and it'd be a whole new pump!
