My two lil tanks


First is a 12gal Eclipse Nano...(first saltwater tank, got it last year for my B-day)
Pretty much stock

Lighting:
13 watt POS PC 50/50 (Going to upgrade to a 36 watt retro kit soon!)
Filtration:
Marineland Millenium 2000 (Junked the bio wheel stock set up)
In tank:
About 15lbs of live rock and a 2 1/2 inch bed of live sand.
Fish:
2 Tank Bred True Percs, Catalina Goby, Yellow Clown Goby, Red Starfish (Not sure what kind), Random Hermits & Snails
Coral:
5 Purple Mushrooms, 1 Green Carpet Mushroom, Colony of Green Zoas, 1 Colony of Brown Zoas (Not sure what kind), 1 Purple w/ Blue dot Mushroom, 1 Fuzzy Mushroom, 1 Purple Mushroom w/ bumps on it (again not sure what kind), 3 Bullseye Mushrooms (Opened once =(..)

Second Tank 36 gal (measurement put it @ 42 gal) Bow Front (3 plus months old)
Lighting:
Stuck between Coral life 30inch 130 watt PC set up or Current 36 inch T5's or a Sun Pod (want to get it but I think it may raise temp too much). More than sure I'm going w/ PC's for cost and if I do some higher lighting stuf I'll run a 70 HQI for spot lighting.
Filtration:
A Marineland H.O.T canister filter, Coral Life 65 gal Super Skimmer.
Water Movement:
The can filter has good power behind it, I got it pushing water on top. I also have a Rio small/med size pump hidden behind the live rock. Do you guys thin I need more?
In tank:
About 40 pounds of Live Rock and a 3 inch bed of Black Sand.
Fish: 2 Blue Damsels, Domino, Mystery Wrasse, (Getting a Indigo Dotty soon!!!!)
No coral or fun stuff yet so thats about it.

PIX COMING SOON!!!

Sounds like some fun setups, but the pictures should confirm it.

So what do you think of my lighting idea? Do you think I'm good on water movement?

In the 36? I'd recommend the T5s personally, what is the price difference between that and the PC? I might also recommend a korallia or two for added, more random flow in the tank.

I just got a yellow watchman and my damsel didn't seem to like him so after all that time on setting my aquascape just how I like it, I had to take it all out grrr! Just to get the damsel outta there. Anyhu I hope I didn't stress the goby out too much...we'll see. I know, I know pix!!! I hope Monday I'll get um on here

Very nice rock stacking job. What are you using to hold them in place?

Gravity and patience and I was kinda a wiz at Jenga lol!
