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.

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.
