Nice Aquascaping! Looks great. Do you have an additional pump in your tank? What is the piece of piping in the upper left hand corner?

Thanks -

I running a small power head in the back compartment with the tube running over the divider wall. The flow is medium but just enough to make a little counter current in the tank and make some movement on the surface. I also am running a small air stone in the back under about 15 or so bio balls. I don't know if this is doing much but I figured it would at least help gas exchange. Currently I'm running stock lighting and everything is loving it.

I will update with side view pictures tonight.

Thanks,
Tice

Here are the side views.

Very nice, especially that arched piece on top. I'm still at the stock lighting also, and the LPS are growing like crazy.

i'd like to see a shot of the stand too. the presentation of a nano tank is also fun, and i would like to see other ppl's ideas on that. i used a stand that puts my nano at eye level and draped two complimentary colored cloths over them perpendicular style.

Does anyone know what kind of soft coral that is in the middle of my tank?

Hey you lookin at me?

a gorgonia maybe?

It is a very very very light starved, (Because it is so dark brown in the pictures), finger leather. Specifically I am leaning towards the blushing finger leather.

I bought the piece from a LFS which was keeping them in a tank covered by MH lights. I had my eye on the corals for over a week and the brown color is normal. The coral has been growing and seems happy so I don't think it is starving from light. The coral has been in my tank for almost 2 months. I have seen some pretty amazing things kept in these little nanos with stock lighting.

Thanks,

Investigator
You're right about it being a blushing leather coral. Thanks

I was wondering why my LR is turning a slight green color on top? I have been using distilled water for my water changes. I change out about 3/4 of a gallon a week. My lights are on for about 10 hours. Nitrates and Ammonia are great and salt is at 1.024. PH8.2. Temp 81. Calcium 410

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Tice
