Twitterbaits 10 gal Nano
I finally have the nano with some coral in it and things are looking great.
Stats: - 10g acrylic nano custom built
- Aqua C Remora for filtration
- Small Seio for water movement
- 150w HQI MH pendant
- 1 icecap fan to keep things cool
- 1 25w gen-x crystal heater to keep things hot
the corals are in the process of coming back from almost dying in another tank at a friends place. Even with the die-off i was able to get a macro shot.
I will post a video of it later tonight so you can see the massive flow.

well... the GSM didn't make it... i came in and he was having problems swimming. he passed on. there was no visible sign of disease so i have no idea what happened. I have an icecap fan blowing on the hood and it is not affecting the temp at all, without the fan the temp climbs fast. between the light and the seio i am losing 1 gallon of water per day to evap.

Ryan it looks a little bleached to me if that is it in the picture with the acan. I have had it under all kinds of lighting, pc's, VHO's, Metal halides 250w and 400w. It has allways been fine. I did have a green micro that I thought kicked the bucket but is just bleached out and came back.
