calvin415 Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 You my friend, are a Nano Reef God! Jesus, does that look amazing! I am in complete and utter awe. What type of LR is that, and where did you get it? LOL!!!! Well, that's a first. The live rock is Fiji that has been busted up with a hammer and screwdriver to get the pieces small enough to fit in the tank. great tank calvin Thanks! Link to comment

fewskillz Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 yeah, dual Dell 1907's (one for AutoCAD, the other for xcel or internet or any other references). Pretty nice setup, perfect for checking out your tank (too bad I don't have a third monitor, then I could see it almost life-size). How much would a tank like this (but maybe a little taller) run me? My girlfriend really likes the long-low look. Link to comment
Wonder Boy Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 U got PM I'd like to know as well... by far the most innovative tank I've seen; keep it up! Link to comment
calvin415 Posted January 29, 2007 Author Share Posted January 29, 2007 Well I think I might have my Calcium levels figured out... Currently adding about a teaspoon of SeaChem Reef Calcium every other day! I can't believe how much Ca this baby is sucking up!!! Link to comment
calvin415 Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 Here's my guys at meal time tonight. Sorry not sure what else to post at this point, nothing new due to guidelines, and too soon for any serious growth shots. Link to comment
sandlot13 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 man, those guys are so cool...... im seriously still considering getting one or two for a 2.5 on my desk Link to comment
calvin415 Posted February 2, 2007 Author Share Posted February 2, 2007 man, those guys are so cool...... im seriously still considering getting one or two for a 2.5 on my desk If I could have a tank at work, this is what I would have in it. They are so cool, so colorful, and such an attention getter. Link to comment
Wonder Boy Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 If I could have a tank at work, this is what I would have in it. They are so cool, so colorful, and such an attention getter. Very Sexy Shrimp! You should invest in some of the mini stars, put them in another tank and harvest as needed. Keep it up. Link to comment
calvin415 Posted February 3, 2007 Author Share Posted February 3, 2007 Not a bad idea, other than the other tank... For now I just keep a CC in the overflow and cut legs as needed. Link to comment
irishtexan Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I love this tank and I have been following it from the beginning. With the shrimp how often do you feed it the CC star legs? Link to comment
calvin415 Posted February 4, 2007 Author Share Posted February 4, 2007 Thanks irishtexan I typically feed them when they "look" hungry... They will start coming out a lot more and actually will swim around the tank. From the last leg to these legs it was about 2 weeks. Link to comment
aacm Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Great looking tank, as usual. Just curious about what you feed the cc stars in the rear chamber to keep them alive? How many legs can you cut from a star without killing it? Pretty cool if you can keep that regenerating food supply going. Link to comment
calvin415 Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 Thanks aacm, I'm not feeding the stars anything and not sure how many legs you can cut, I've did two at once on this star and he's still alive, we'll see what happens in a week or two when I need two more legs. Not sure if it will regenerate fast enough to keep up with them, but as long as it stays alive long enough to feed them for 4-6 weeks then I'm happy. I couldn't feed anything else live food for less than a dollar a week. Link to comment
calvin415 Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 Well it looks like I'm up for Nano TOTM over on RC, any votes thrown my way are certainly appreciated!!! http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthre...hreadid=1046966 Link to comment

supernip Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 thats a lot of stiff competition calvin. The best 3 tanks are all nr.com members. Link to comment
calvin415 Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 Thanks guys! I figured I'd take some macro shots to keep the thread alive, the waiting game is pretty boring... and since I never really give my Derasa much attention, here's a pic... And of course, one of my guys!!! Link to comment
