Heres a couple pics of my nano. I originally had a hyrdoscope 12 that i drove down with, but i upgraded to the 2009 Nanotuners's Nanocube 12DX - 4.24 Series (96w) this summer... its finally starting to fill in.....

Sea Horse!! ( yeah i know its a gamble esp in such a small fully stocked tank...... but i really really really felt bad leaving it at petco... , its been two weeks, and it's eating a ton, and swimming more. seems to be improving.. please no bashing...i know its too small of a tank, and too overstocked.. but im planning on a sh only tank soon...)

thanks, i know its way overstocked atm, but im working on finding the two damsels new homes


there is 2 percs, 2 yellowtail damsels, 1 tailspot blenny (takes care of all the algae..), and 1 female mandarin.

the mandarin actually eats frozen, and occasionally eats PELLETS! its really a fat pig, as there are tons of pods in the caulerpa...it just eats all day..I actually got the mandarin from petco on poplar/highland, and asked to see to see if them feed the tank..I really couldn't believe how lucky I was to get one eating frozen..I actually saw another very plump nice looking female mandarin in petco's frag tank...

Theres a big piece of lr in the middle that effectively separates the right from left. Theres mainly just caulerpa on the right that i harvest some out of every 2 weeks, and most of the corals are on the left side facing the windows..I guess the caulerpa section really helps with maintaining the pod population..

most of the corals are just softies, but there are two monti cap frags in there...
