My Nano tanks
I just started two tanks a month ago.
I orginally started with an eclipse 12 but changed it to a glass bow 16 gal tank due to all the scratches that occurred during my live rock setup. 96 watts of pc lighting. The quad bulb 50/50. About 20 or so lbs of live rock.
Our family in the 16:
2 black clowns
1 yellow watchman goby
1 bi-color goby
1 BTA
I lost count of snails and hermits
1 Emerald Crab
1 striped bristle star fish
I would show a picture but I am not sure how to get it in the message block. Maybe someone could help me with it.
I attached the picture of my 7 gal. I will reply with a picture of the 16 gal until I figure out how to attach to the message area.
I also have a minibow 7 gal with 32 watts of pc lighting. 12lbs or so of live rock.
Our family in the 7:
1 maroon clown
1 neon goby
1 BTA
a bunch of nails and crabs
1 emerald crab
1 striped bristle star fish

I figured it out after reading some hints in the forum.
Here are my nanos. Just started a month ago so they are not all that great yet but I am working on it.

Generic 10g tank (whatever was available at PetSmart)
55w CSL 50/50
Not sure how much rock
Clump of macro algae in the front of the tank
Colts, xenia, shrooms, macros, leather
~15 astreas
Coral banded shrimp
1 blue "dumsel"
Penguin mini-bio wheel (wheel removed)
Been up about a week and was thrown together from stuff I took out of an old tank.

It has been quite a long time since I have been around but my little piece of the ocean is comming along nicely.
Humble Beginings.
And now my little Minibow 2.5 with life, coraline growth, and even a different fish.
The pictures don't do it justice, but it has really come a long way.
I plan on buying a Nano cube soon, and moving everything into it. I really like the more self contained look, aswell as the options of upgrading that I have.
Anyway, almost done with another year of college, and I can't wait to be home. I plan on spending alot of money over a Capucino Bay. I was in there this weekend and saw a guy that bought a clam the size of a small pecan, and a rock of really preatty rics for only 40.00. All I have to say is that there place is top notch, and the lady that works the counter is the coolest.

Awesome setups!!! I have a 5 gallon bowfront with light, silter and heater sitting here on my desk in my office. Just need to swipe some stuff from my main tank and see what happens, but kinda scared too  Any tips on starting a nano all with stuff from the main tank?

Some very nice nanos in this thread.
Heres a couple pics of ours, a few months ago, before we moved.
We lost our Strawberry Dottyback (you guys call em Grammas, i think?).
We also moved the highfin Blenny into another larger tank.
Otherwise the pair of clowns and the bicolour blenny are still in there.
Its an aqua one tank, 30 litres, which i think equals about 6-7gallons...
11 watt 8000k pc light.
We have changed out the argonite for a fine layer of coral sand, and suspended the power head and spray bar at the back of the tank.
