My Nanos (Images)

[JustDavidP]

Just thought I'd share pics of my Nanos before they go away. The 20 gallon will be merged into a 75 gallon. The office nano (11 gallon Via Aqua) will stay as is.

that 20 is beautiful, I'm jealous

[JustDavidP]

Thanks...

It's been fun, but requires CONSTANT attention because of the bioload. The contents will be a nice "Starter Kit" for my new 75 gallon.

what is the large pink/orange guy in the center along the bottom of the 20? that is pretty nice looking

[JustDavidP]

It's a red open brain coral. Yet another reason for upping my tank size. That guy was only the size of a tennis ball when I got it. It's now as big as a softball! I do spoil him though. He gets fresh tiger shrimp once every month.

thanks...wow...great tank

Beautiful tanks! Nice rockwork especially in the 20g. They really look like reefs!

Could you post some specs on your tanks? Lights, power heads, etc.?

[ckreef]

Really nice looking tanks David -- you have obviously been doing something right.

[dancn]

is that a frogspawn or torch in the 20g? i wanna get a white torch or frogspawn.

[JustDavidP]

Thanks again... Some specs on the 20..

Too many corals to list here...but if you have any questions about what a certain specimen is in the photos, ask away.

office nano specs..

Dancn...yes, that is a branching frogspawn in the 20. I bought it with two branches/heads. It now has 5.

The kids had a great time yesterday. We should do that more often!

Happy Monday bud!

Dave next time we should shut off the dinning room light before taking pix.

Dale loves hanging out at your house! He was getting a little tiered and grumpy when it was time to go tho. Once I put him to bed I think he was in a deep sleep in about a minute! Thanks for the invite!
