Tank looks awesome. I have a question for all of you nano-keepers. A lot of these tanks have things in them that have the potential to grow like crazy. Button polyps, star polyps, shrooms, clams , not to mention the corals. Some stuff can be easily pruned or fragged as it gets large, I know. Is that generally the plan for how to deal with it, or do you plan to cycle things out of the nano into a larger reef as they get big and add new things to the nano?

Just curious....

the 10 started out as a 4 :wink:

okie,

moved some stuff around, cleaned the glass-here's the (more or less) final configuration (sorry for the pic quality)

i'll take another shot when everything is back open up fully

Dude, who knew you were so good at reefing?

It looks excellent!

thx


i managed to finally get some goby pics

they exhibit what i'm sure is pair bonding behavior, and it gets quite rough at times-they both undergo a nice color change-with all the fins turning dark purple, against a lighter pink/orange body color, as they approach each other from opposite sides of a group of seri frags.they then circle each other closely, getting to laying side by side, head to head, inside the frag cluster, and that's when they seem to start nipping and break apart, staying w/in eye contact of each other for hours

there's another 'group' of gobies in the tank that are 1/2 the size of the smaller (male?) of the pair, w/a a jet navy/black body and a reddish orange head, prob'ly 1/2" TL maximum

watching these guys grab pods off the lr is hilarious-they go all out, looking like a pit bull, hehe

stomatellas have spawned repeatedly, and coralline is starting to grow on the heater tube
