Well, the parameters are starting to look good. I have been feeding my imaginary fish for about 4 weeks now. I was just looking at some picasso perculas online this morning and I am getting anxious. It's about time to start adding some coral. There will only be 3 fish in this system. Two picasso percs and a diamond goby. The centerpiece will be an RBTA and I will be doing mostly zoas, acans, rics, and some lps.

I decided to seal the holes in the bottom and take out the overflow. I didn't like the stand it was on and I wanted a more self contained system. I bought a HOB filter rated for 50-75g. I have built a nano like this before with good results. I just have to keep up with the water changes.

As of right now, there is only one turbo snail in there. I will be adding to the CUC this week. I also need to buy some new bulbs.

So, here it is.

notice the double oakleaf clusters....because we were so friggin bad a**....those are the presidential awards I was talking about. Just so y'all know I'm not just a mall ninja.
 
Very nice tank, RTBA Picasso pair combo is indeed a nice center piece (I love mine); what fixture are you running?
 
Just a dual 65w pc. I never run anything better on a tank under 75g, always seems like a waste. I will dig up some pics of my old 24g with pc. I had an RBTA about 8" wide in there with a pair of picassos. Unfortunately, the tank didn't survive the move from Fort Carson, CO. to here. I am basically rebuilding that tank.
 
I would like to add about another 6-8 lbs of rock. I will probably pick up a piece at ARC this week some time.
 
Here are a couple from my old nano..

Yeah Justin, it took a while. Kept going back and forth on whether or not to do it. My business took off like a rocket, so finding time has been hard. I hired some people though, so now the work load isn't all on my shoulders. That helps. I am designing a big tank right now. Have to wait till we move into our house, but it's going to be epic.
