Great looking tank and loved the layout of your pics!!

That's a freakin' TEN gallon??!?!?!?! It's got more stuff in it than my 72!! Excellent job! I'm jealous. I've got a 12 that I'll build up, in ten or twelve years, you'll have some competition...:beer:

 

[TwoBuck40]

nice nano!

 

[seamonkey]

Jeez thats a ten gallon but yet you make it seem so much larger with your well taken photos.

 

[thefatman]

W.O.W. that is amazing!!!!

 

[CAT]

Cool

Starting a new 20 gal, grow out tank - might take a few years to catch up :funny:

 

[danano]

Thanks all! I'm always and truly inspired by both my local reefing club as well as online reefing community. This is a great hobby and sharing of experiences is very much a part of it.

Here's an updated pic from the left and right angle...

what kind of filtration and lighting do you have on that puppy???

I have a ten gallon in the bedroom that I'd love to do a nano in....


(edit) OOPS..... nevermind.... I obviously didn't read the first post.....

 

[Rob_Reef_Keeper]

Amazing, I got Nano envy.

I got a 15G that is not even close to that.

Keep it up.

 

[elgordoinavw]

hey amazing tank, if you don't mind let us know all the equiptment and additives you use. you know your secret's

 

[danano]

Elgo, Rob, Buzz... thanks for the feedback, comments and encouragement.

Elgo, try the link in the first post above. You'll find specs/setup info there. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them.

Buzz, do keep us updated on your 10g setup and progress.

just gotta say......NICE!!!

just gotta say......NICE!!!

 

[RWD]

Well that's proof that a tank doesn't need to be large to look great!

 

[danano]

Thanks Tpeck, RWD... a very nice complement indeed

Here's my latest addition, a purple tip table acro. Montipora danae, t. crocea and t. derasa moved to other spots on the reef to make room for the purple tip... which is now the centerpiece.

 

[LittleFishBoy]

I too thought that it was a much bigger tank. Great job on putting everything together like that. Looks great.:beer:

 

[big t]

That is one fine looking nano, congradulations!

 

[danano]

LittleFish... I am always on the lookout for small 'bonsai like' specimens and frags. That's how I manage to stock the wide variety of corals in my nano and with proper placement/spacing...create a 'big tank' look

Thanks bigT.

I expect that many of the corals will outgrow the tank in the next 6 to 12 months and I will need to frag them. If I setup and cycle my new and larger nano (20g) in time, I'll simply move some of them over.

I took this full-tank picture yesterday, a day after adding the purple tip acro.
