New to ReefCentral... here's a pic of my nano reef :D

[YummieMummie]

This is my 10 gallon nano reef tank! Just about 1 year old. Definately jam packed with life! No skimmer and no sump or refugium! I just keep up with water changes! Two 20watt compact flourescent bulbs and a hamilton blue LED accent lighting strip. 240gph Koralia powerhead, Tetra submersible heater, Fluval 205 (up to 40gals) canister filter (all media/sponges removed except come carbon) I love my tank!
15lbs of live rock and a 1 inch deep black sand and agaronite mix sandbed.
Fish and Inverts: 2 Oscellaris Clownfish, clown goby, two spot blenny, skunk cleaner shrimp, 1 left heanded hermit, 1 electric blue hermit, 1 blue legged hermit, 10 assorted snails, coco worm, purple/yellow feather duster.
Coral: Kenya tree coral, short tenticle plate coral, 2 frogspawn, purple/brown zoas, eagle eye zoas, orange bam bam zoas, colt coral, blue anthelia, hammer coral, devil's hand, trumpet coral.

Thanks, yea, it's super easy (and cheap) to do it low tech and the corals and fish stay just as happy and healthy as if you had a bunch of expensive equipment as long as you do it right! Can't keep SPS because of my lighting though, but I love the softies and LPS more anyway!

I have to agree with both of you, I like the tank and I dig the "low-tech" approach. I say if you have the passon, and drive to keep beautiful creatures in your home then you can find a way to do it. I realize this can be a very expensive vice to have, but I dont see why it HAS to be as expensive as some people have made it out to be. With some love and a lot of work you can have a beautiful slice of the ocean, a piece of artwork and or elegant piece of furniture sitting right in the middle of your house for your enjoyment. And if you are keeping the creatures healthy and happy, I say why spend the crazy amounts of money? I think you have done a great job and Im sure you enjoy every second of it. Keep up the good work and thanks for the picture!
