Melev's new Nano!

Thank you both. I need to clean the glass in that tank, but was working on the 280g reef today. Maybe this weekend I can scrape all the walls clean again, as I prefer this tank nice and focused on livestock and not have the distractions of dirty encrusted walls.

That is just a personal preference of mine.
 
Hey, looking good Marc, I had to look close to see the coraline on the walls. :thumbsup: I guess the secret to a good nano is a 350 gal sump. :lol:

No, I've not seen it lately, but I have been looking for it. Remember it stayed out of sight for months, so I'd have to post a vigil if I want to really see it badly enough.
 
Wow Melev,I havent seen this thread since you started it.The nano is looking great and is coming along nicely.Good luck with those rbta's.When I had mines, they would split around once a month.It got to a point where I just started giving them away to local reefers because they were trying to take over the tank.
 
Hi Jorge! Thanks a lot. :) The nano is doing quite well, and it is a very nice thing to see when you first walk in the door.

And yes, those RBTAs are definitely hogging up the real estate, but at the same time I don't feel like trying to pull one out. The clowns are happy with their huge homes.

If I can find some really pretty clams, they'll be added in the future.
 
Marc,

Great tank and thread! I love the design of this tank. Wish I had one like just like it. It would look really nice in my office. :)
 
This time of year, the sun pours in through the front door during the afternoon, and I thought it would be nice to let the anemones soak up some real light. :)

Hey mark looks like those anemones are taking over the tank.They definately look a lot bigger.Was wondering when you were going to post an update on the nano.Looking good as always,keep up the great work.
 
There really isn't a lot to update. I'm not adding corals, just keeping the tank clean and the animals fed.

Okay, here are a few things that come to mind:

The front glass never gets dirty. I think the light can't hit it due to the angle. The front 4" panel however gets covered with coralline. So I had to scrape that off and it wasn't fun.

The Purple Firefish is in my sump again. I don't know how that happens since I never see him at the surface. I'm guessing he either sleeps to close to the drain, or he's chasing some food and fwuup! he's cruisin' south.

The beautiful Electric Blue Hermit Crab is no more. I don't know if another crab killed him or what, but his shell has been empty for some time. Maybe they don't do well in 79F to 80F water, I'm not sure. I didn't have him long enough to accept his death as natural.

The Rose BTAs are huge. Ridiculously so. I really need to extract one if I want to put anything else in the tank, but haven't been willing to tackle that project.

The light still isn't hanging from the ceiling yet, because I have not been able to find the one connection I want for free. Like everyone else, I'm going to have to buy it. And then like everyone else, a guy will tell me the day after that he's got one that I could have had for nothing. :lol:

Latest addition: 15 Astreas

Next to be added: My first Duncan. ;)
 
Duncans are cool and since you like to feed your corals, you will have a blast with them. They are total pigs. I just got some Wild Orchid Duncans from UltimateFrags.

The exact part I need are the microscopic ball bearings. I've checked everywhere I can think of to get them. The pin that holds three ball bearings would work. I have everything else.

Love the tank Melev.What happened to your website there hasnt been an update in a while?

I update it all the time. Did you check the chalk board on the front page or on the bottom of the Hidden Treasure page? The most recent update was 48 hours ago. It depends what you are looking at, I guess.
