Very nice. I love the hiding of the return and the MP20 in the rockwork and the layout is gorgeous. Fantastic.

I love all the montis, very nice!

Major Congrats, it's well-deserved!!!
The first time I saw your tank I was majorly discouraged due to problems I'd been having with my own tank, and I just sat there with my mouth open saying, "Now THIS is what a Nano Reef is supposed to look like!!!"
Your tank reminded me of what I love about this hobby, of what it can look like when things go right.

Beautiful tank you have there. Well deserved Nano Tank of the Month.

the whole fixture with the supp. leds maybe weights 3 pounds if not less

thanks,mike

Nice job man!

Your tank looks amazing.

What an awesome tank!

How did you construct the foam rock wall?? Did you somehow make it out of the tank and then put it in? Or did you have to completely tear down the tank to make it?

i wish i had taken some photos, but of course i have none over on rc there are a ton of threads about how to build these walls. i did have my tank running while i was building it it was built with some dry rock from bulk reef supply so i let it cure in saltwater for about a month and a half . it was made with some preforated pvc sheet black tye wraps (note some tye wraps come with a stainless steel clip i do not recommend these )black pond foam,sand and west systems epoxy and your imagination


thanks,mike

Congrats nice tank.

This tank is Awesome! How does that ycg do around your sps ?

i had this goby in the tank before this one also the sps are doing fine. it does perch on the sps but i do not see any damage.

thanks,mike

Bravo!!!!!!!!
It's so nice and sparkly I can't tell if it has a glass top or is it open?

Awesome tank! It looks great.

congrats!! tank looks so natural!! how did you get that rock wall for the "background" of your tank?
