great tank, theres stuff in there I would never even thing of trying

Thanks Steve. You would be amazed what your 40 breeder with T5 is capable of ;)



Man between the music and the menagerie of fish i can't stop laughing lol. Love it! and love seeing that clam living in there. Found that thing as a hitchhiker at 1".

Glad you like bud :) That clam is my favorite. It grew about 1 1/2" since I got him from you. You did a good job raising him ;)

Thanks Dan. The frags are doing good. The pearlberry and blue stag are growing fast, and the red/blue milli has nice color but is only encrusting for now.

Is that a chaaalllk bassh in there I see? I love the music makes me wana smoke a pound of jamican chicken

Morty!!!!!!!!!!:shocked:

nice video like to see you using music, makes it better :)

Anything for you scoots ;) Next time I'm going to make you pick the music :D


I am buying 30 fish this week. You think I can put them in my 24 gallon Frag tank Rich? I am keeping it low nutrient like you :P

With the amount of equipment you have running, you probably can handle 30 fish in the nano :D


Very nice tank dude

Thanks MrBanga! It's still very young but I am happy the way things are going so far.


Cyano is 100% gone. I believe the Special Blend Bacteria finally took effect. I will continue dosing the maintenance level into this tank indefinitely. It's pretty effective at lowering the nutrient level despite heavy feedings.

Valentines Day FTS. Next FTS will be early April :groupflip

Thank Jenna :) I've been playing with nanos for the last few years so I did go overboard a little on the about of fish, now that I actually have room for them. I have good filtration and a good maintenance schedule so things are staying clean for now. If I see the nutrient level getting too high and a normal amount of maintenance won't keep up, I'll lower the bioload a little.

There is about 50lbs of rock overall in the display. A little more than 20lbs of tonga, and 30lbs of fiji and marshall island rock. I have about 25lbs of rubble in a section of my sump for added biological surface area.

You can see how little rock is in the display here. It looks like a lot more one the SPS start branching on branches :D

The tough part if locating quality branch. In retrospect I should have just gone with synthetic ceramic branch or BRS stuff. This live tonga branch came in pretty lifeless from reef2go. That is a terrible place to deal with.

Any updates...

Not really :) Everything is going well. Colors have been good, growth on the fast end. It doesn't really look much different from the pic I posted a few weeks ago, except for this large Lineatus Super male that I added. Loving this fish. I have him eating out of my hand already. I'm thinking to add a female as well. I want to see the male flashing his fins!

Excited for you to see it. I always appreciate some feedback and criticism.
