Diana's Nano Buildoff

[Diana]

Hey guys, just looking for some input on my project so far. Just on coral selection/placement, rock arrangement, inhabitants... etc etc. I'm trying to go for a natural look but also have things placed so they are easily seen. I know i could go more natural but in such a small tank i dont have much space i guess.

Here's a like to the thread: http://www.reefs.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=66965

Thanks!

Geez.. FIRST you go and do the sexy shrimp before me.. THEN you go and add the grape caulerpa before me.. And THEN you go and add a tube anemone before me!

I can't now, I'd be a copycat.

It looks great, though. One suggestion? Keep up with posting the full tank shots. One thing I always feel is missing from a lot of the nano submissions is that the overall tank doesn't appear much anymore and it ends up being a whole lot of macros.

That tube anenome will eat everything in your tank. I promise.

I wouldn't change anything. I love your aquascape, inhabitants, etc. Once the rock matures it's going to be awesome.

Thanks guys, yeah i'm looking forward to watching everything grow and mature. Im getting quite a bit of coraline on some of the rocks and it looks so awesome. Im thinking of adding a little more lighting, i will have to see how i can do this!

I just put a couple frags of monitpora in today, i got them for $1 each! Should have gotten more me thinks!

And about that tube anenome, yes, i was fore-warned! So far the sexy shrimp have known to stay away from it. And sometimes they go on the 'tube' part to clean it and it goes inside when they touch it... makes me nervous though hehe. When it gets too large i have a 33 gallon i will move it to. Will it eat the corals? 8) hehe

Ever the optomist 'koos. I know folks that have been keeping them for years with very few losses. If it's kept well fed, it shouldn't be a problem.

Diana, it's looking fantastic. I really like the look of the macro in the main tank, but I had a halimeda plant go sexual on me in my 2.5 and turned the tank to pea soup.

Keep up the good work. 8)

Feedback on the new layout?

Baby, you know I like it

So far all the corals are doing well, so I would leave the other light alone.
