My Nano One Year Later

[eengmd]

Time for a new tank. I was going to take shots with my DSLR but my batteries need charging so here is a P&S pic. Hopefully more to come later.

The picture is a bit dusty as I just installed a mp10 tonight and yes it did leave a significant detritus storm which is evident in the picture. By the way, the mp10 is awesome. The koralia nano is going to go bye bye to my son's 12 gallon nano tomorrow.

Basic info:
28 gallon nano cube hqi with retro PC actinics
Stock skimmer
2 part for alk and calcium
Alk 8, Calcim a bit low tonight 400
pH runs 7.9 -8.3 during the winter (new house)
Run chemi pure elite in middle chamber along with filter floss
ATO
Temp 77.0-78.0 on a chiller

My zoas do not grow fast but the SPS do. I have a clam that I got from a meet at Ade's which has doubled in size. He has added 6 new ridges since his move to my tank 7 months ago.

Thanks for all the people on this board who have helped me along the way with advice and frags. I told my wife it is now time to get another tank.

You are right, there is a 2 inch regal tang that is going to move to my 120 at work once he gets slightly larger. I got him as a little over an inch in our last group order and had a bad initial ich outbreak. After q-tank, he is in my nano where I have the water running through a UV sterilizer that I can turn on. After monitoring him, he went into the nano to keep the UV running and to fatten him up for a bigger tank. He is doing well, with no evidence of disease for several months, and now growing. He is a cool fish and there are no long term plans to keep him housed in this little tank. Please be assured I do have some knowledge and do not intentionally abuse or try to kill fish.

Awesome looking tank, very inspiring.

Cool, I'm all for keeping little ones in small tanks anyway, easier to keep an eye on them, make sure they eat, and don't get bullied!:thumbsup:
