Here are some picks of my new and improved nano.

I also added a new zoo med powersweep 214 and a pinguin bio-wheel 200 with filterfloss just to help clean out the floters.

Look out I'm moven up:D
 
Nice rockwork Monty! :thumbsup:

I have to ask though, what happened to the biocube? Doesn't look like one anymore. :eek1:
 
Wow Monty that's looking really nice! That rockwork looks like it will leave you a lot of room for coral growth. Sort of a less is more approach. You don't see that too much here on RC.
 
The bio cube was cool but it just didn't give me enough room. And with all of the stuff built into it and buy the time I added my live rock and sand I know I had way less then 14 gallons. Plus everything look crowed.

But I'm really happy with the way the 20g turned out. :D

I'm with ya Monty! I'm waiting to get a 20 gallon myself. :)
 
I have a 150w metal halide. And yes I am running the tank sump and refugium free.

I got some new corals so I will be posting a updated pic tomorrow.
 
I got some new coral yesterday when I went to Iowa City with Waverz and Gnome. I got these from Bob's awsome collection.

alien eye chalis. Sorry for the crapy pics.

I can't remember if he had some in his main tank or not:confused:
I got that chunk out of the frag tank in the basement.
As far as leaving enough room for the magfloat I did on one side but the other side I'm going to have to slide the rocks closer together.
 
Nice score! I was going to get one of the 150 MH's for my 15 this month, it looks like it really makes your coral's popbut .:) I bought an 75 gbd RO/DI from The Water Guys instead. Still trying to hook it up to my existing drinking water/ice system.

Hope y'all don't mind me lurking around this forum. Thought I'd post a photo of my new nano. I just started a tank thread in the nano forum too (it is linked via my little red house)

Thanks for the compliments. Its a 9 gallon Cadlights tank (not sure if I can post the link? they're not an RC sponsor). Open top with T5 lighting. I thought it would stay cooler than a full hooded tank.

I decided to dedicate it to my rics. I got them all from etropicals.com. Its "one dozen" mixed (they gave me 14) and "eight" green (they gave me about 15 small ones). The rocks they sent them on are very cool with tons of sponges, macros, and some kind of tube worm. (The tall thing sticking up from the rock with the blues).

The green ones came with a hitchhiker I think this is a common bristle worm, just posted over in Shimeks forum to see if he can ID it -- its in my main tank and keeps crawling on a GSP which makes the GSP really mad.
