OMG!! Your tanks are amazing! I'm new here and am gathering my info, I wondered if you would tell me exactly what is lighting your ten gal? I also have a hood setup, and am under the suspicion I could use more 'specilized' lighting.

Thank you!
Anne

Nice tank there

you also take good pictures

 

[aquariumgirl]

Thanks knucklehead and Illflyaway, The light I have at the moment is 2 20W 50/50 coralife compacts. I am planning a DIY canopy with more light (probably 3 65W PC if it fits).

Thank you!! Good luck, your tanks are wonderful.

I pretty much bought exactly what you have!! I'm really excited about this tank!

Anne(thanks for the suggestion!)

I like your tank, one of the best nanos I've seen

btw its really really really hard to take good pictures of mantis unless they pose for more than 5 seconds. All mine does is dart around the tank and then go back to his rocks. IMO feed him frozen krill, shrimp, crab and scallops. Mine didn't take to brine pellets

Illflyaway Anne, thats awesome! I can't wait to see some pictures once it's all set up! Happy reef building

Bojangles, haha, yes those mantises aren't very photogenic are they? One of these days he'll pose for me, thats all part of the fun, isn't it? Thanks for the tip and the gracious compliment :wink: , I'll try out those frozen shrimps (so far he's only been eating live crabs).

Some updated pictures. Enjoy!!

really great, what a clean aquascape and super-healthy animals and corals. Is that one branched coral an elegans, I can't tell?

Very cool set-up. I'm just about to downgrade to a 20 gal and you've inspired me (though I doubt it'll look as good as yours).

 

[Bojangles]

What're you feeding your sun coral there? It looks great with tons of polyps and its open during the daytime!!!

Mine only opens at night no matter what I do.

 

[aquariumgirl]

Thanks everyone, Brandon, the branching coral is a frogspawn :wink:

Burntom, I'll be looking for you pictures then

Bojangles, give it time. It took me awhile, but I feed about half an hour after the light turn on, so it has to open during the day if it wants food :wink:

The pictures may unfortunately have to wait until next year. I'm moving country (back to the UK) in February, and prior to that I'm just having a four month practice run with my small overflow with some left over LR and corals from my big tank (well, not that big - main tank = 90 US gals).

I was quite depressed about moving back to the small tank, but having seen the potential in nano threads like yours, I'm actually now rather looking forward to the scale of a tank like that.

Got a new camara, so I have a few pictures:

This picture you can actually see their orange mouths!!

And another close up of the mommy suncoral.

Well, here it is... with some new additions!! Everything from the 3 gallon and the 10 gallon went into the 30 gallon. Still needs lots of live rock to fill it up, but I think I'm off to a good start.

Looking good AG. Like the arches. 8)

What are you going to feed the pipefish?

 

[GobyMaster]

Aquariumgirl,

How do you go abouts attaching your rock to your half pot in the Mantis tank?

Also, how do you attach/cement/glue your rocks together in your 10 gal?

Just curious because I am looking for a good cement/glue/epoxy/technique for some creative aquascaping in my own 30 gal nano...

Thanks
