Hey Sarah nice little tank! I want a nano for my living room. (The addiction is way deep now) I have to show the girlfriend your tank pics to help hoax her into the idea!! She will think its "cute" and thats the green light!! GO GO

Thanks.. I have a PC 27 watt dual daylight 6700K/10,000K and then the 27 watt Dual Actinic 420/460 nm... the corals are happy as can be... the tank i think is just over 2 months old.. doing great! I have 1 neon goby, 1 clown,2 gold neon eviota gobies, 1 peppermint shrimp and can i mention.. I HATE hermits!! Havent lost anything yet *Fingers crossed* the hermits nearly killed all my ceritha snails...and i've provided empty shells for them! Argh!

That is a nice lighting setup for such a small tank I am sure the coral are happy.

I wish I had your luck the closest thing I ever bought of the internet was a 3 hour drive but it was a nice ballast so it was worth it.God I still can't get over that only $200 did it even come with a stand and filtration? As for the killer crab why don't you just keep replacing it with small ones?

Sarah84 · 07-18-2007, 07:42 PM

it came with a stand...... nthe filter is built in.. all i had to buy was the nano skimmer

and whatever is in the tank. I plan on switching my 55 gal FW over soon, then I can sort thru everything, ithink i'll make my 12 gal a frag tank and make a lil coin to support my habit
