    Time to break some rules nano style!

    I've been running the AI Nano on every tank I could for the last couple of weeks, and I think its time out in public is over. This week I picked up a 14 gallon Biocube just for the light, and moved my mantis out of its current 5 gallon. I decided to break some rules with this one, so I started by adding the day of the move some more rock, hopefully cured, and a domino damsel. This wasn't enough for me though, so the next day I added some nice acros. I'm pretty sure the piece on the right is Hawkins Echinata, but I'm sure about the other two.

    All that's left to do now is hope they survive the fresh tank, and watch the AI Nano flex its muscles over some SPS!

    I'm planning on doing some growth progression shots on this one, so I'll keep this thread updated.

    Yeah, I got insanely lucky on those. Adopted from a tank that had a hard coral eating butterfly.

    I love instant nanos!

    I wouldn't bet against you, but if you think this is risky, I just did a 100% water change on a 300 gallon system packed to the brim with coral. Sometimes the speeding ticket is worth the quick journey.

    No offense, but why are you doing this? Just for the challenge of taking the risk? :)
