Nice rock work Raptor !!! Really liking the shelves !!! Just a thought you might try a sun coral / NPS under the ledge !!!

I take it that pic was visible. Could you see the ones on the previous page?

 

[Raptor72]

I think the problem is using the "image" button on Tapatalk instead of "attachment"

Well, that last picture is of the rockwork with water and sand. I'm letting it run for a few days before testing. I made all new water and used the foam that I had in the 125 DT sump to seed the nano. Tomorrow I will use a handful of sand to assist with the seeding.

Looking good, nice start!

I spent yesterday putting the screen together so I won't have any airborne inhabitants.

Today I was going to do some water tests but realized that I haven't had any Ammonia, Nitrite or Nitrate tests for quite a while. I'll have to take a water sample to my lfs this weekend.

That is looking really nice! I really like the shelf style scape.

Sorry, experiencing technical difficulties again.

 

[Newsalth2o]

Whoa that looks like an awesome fixture!

 

[Raptor72]

It's nice. I'm getting used to the fans running the whole time that they're on though. I don't know if all LED fixtures are this way.

looks good

Looks fantastic.

Did you make the lid? If so was it a kit or a totally DIY

 

[Raptor72]

It's DIY. The screen frame from HD and the screen from BRS.

The goby took time today for a photo op. This guy is so brightly colored, it's too bad the camera doesn't truly show the intense orange and blue colors.

I've been fragging a few corals from my DT and adding them to the nano. I ordered a dozen ZOA frags and I should have them in this week. I have some sun corals in the middle that haven't popped out yet. I'd also like to add some dendros.


Sorry for the sideways picture. I think my pics are too big or something. I didn't have this problem before.

 

[OysterGurth]

looks good. Do you plan on adding any more fish? If so what where you thinking

 

[abfds001]

I got the same lights and they are amazingly bright. The blues are intense. I posted pics in my album

Saw some naked clowns at FB today. You need them for your nano...definitely

 

[Raptor72]

Yes, they had an amazing selection of clowns, some that I've never even seen.

I think I'm maxed out on fish as far as bio load is concerned. I have a black Occelaris, a Catalina Goby and 2 Pearly Jawfish. I don't want to add another clown for fear that the clowns might try to dominate the tank. I also have a Skunk Cleaner Shrimp and a Peppermint Shrimp along with snails and hermits.
