Just wanted to share some recent pictures of two of my nano tanks that rare running on my desk right now. These two are listed in my signature, one is from PicOAquariums the other is from Micro-Reefs (But the canopy is not on, I have to find a way to mount the AI Nano inside it); Some of you might have already seen these, so I hope repeats don't bore you to tears 
My desktop, so hard to get work done between the view, the tanks, and the internet haha.
Micro-Reefs 6.2 AIO N. oerstedii Tank
First up, an acrylic 6.2g AIO Micro-Reefs tank. Controlled by a RKL & AI New Controller. The AIO houses a Hagan Elite 25w heater, CoolWorks Ice Probe, & RKL Temp Probe. Filtration is Coralife Pure-Flow 50micron filter pad, Seachem Seagel & Purigen. Lit by AI Nano on Florida Keys, 4:00 ramp w/ 10/15/20 max (Yes that low!)
This tank could easily house SPS (Mike who runs Micro-Reefs has had one running for a while) if I added an MP10, but I'm planning on housing a mantis in this tank. Mantis has already been picked out by a fellow hobbyist, and will be delivered in the mail sometime next week.

Current Livestock: Pulsing Xenia, Meteor Shower, Nuclear Green Palys, Radioactive Dragon's Eye Zoas, Scrambled Egg Zoas, GSP, 3-types Mushrooms, & two 'CRAZY-mini' Maxi-minis. Heavy snail CUC and an emerald crab who awaits his doom.
Scrambled Egg Zoas (Reefer999 PROP Auction Win!)
Good ole' GSP Macro. None of the other macro shots turned out, I'll try again another time and post to this thread
PicO Is 5.5g Ricordea florida Species Tank
This is another AIO, but it is low-iron glass from PicOAquariums. The hardware is extremely simple on this setup: Cobalt Neo-Therm 25w for heat, and a Maxspect R420R 60w Nano 16000K for light. This tank runs the same media for filtration as the Micro-Reefs tank above. Light is kept high: automatic, TP1 7:00 0% 1%; TP2 10:00 25% 30%; TP3 13:00 50% 60%; TP4 16:00 25% 30%; TP5 19:00 20% 15%; TP6 20:00 0% 1%
Livestock is just as simple as the tank setup! A bunch of beautiful Ricordea florida, 2 trimma gobies, a big sexy shrimp, and a hitchiker clam (lol! thanks reef culture)
