Kelli's 5.5 Desk top Nano
Since I don't think Vince will let me plan my nano in Margaritaville much longer here is my entry
I am going to use an AGA 5 1/2 gallon tank
w/ PC lighting yet to be determined
live rock & waterchanges for filtration w/ small HOB filter or powerhead for flow
It will be a bare bottom set up.
It will have a custom made oak canopy and base to hide the fact that it is a black framed tank and to match the desk.
The main inhabitant will be my sun coral.
This is the planned location for the nano so I can look at a tank when I'm at TRT

Looking Good!!!
do you have a heater that you could put in there? if not, try putting the container over a heat vent in the house. it is good to keep the LR somewhat warm.
