ReefBoy's Darkwater Nano
My goal is to make a nano to house non- photosynthetic corals. I picked this Eclipse up at the LFS for $15. I'm going to add a small powerhead and a heater. Let's see what happens.

Different!
I like the idea. Do you guys have much available in the way of non-photosynthetic corals? I guess so or you wouldnt be doing this lol...

Thanks for the warm welcome everybody. I'll be putting water and rock in the tank this weekend. Looking into Skeety's idea of continuous water changes to keep the tank clean, since the corals will need lots of feeding.
