danano Posted September 8, 2003 Author Share Posted September 8, 2003 I'll post details/specs and pics of my reef setup later once I get some pics taken. In the meantime, key features of my setup include a 12g sump/fuge, ATI T5 + PL lights, Teco TW4 chiller, 2x Eheim 1250 pumps, 3 small 100 - 150gph PHs and a basic skimmer (I plan to upgrade to an AquaC Urchin). It's currently a mixed reef with predominantly hard corals (i.e. sps ) I have a few clams and fish as well. There's a pair of Red Sea orchid dottybacks, a powder blue tang, a true percula, a cardinal and a tricolor wrasse. Link to comment

jdsabin1 Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Ahhhh so THAT'S what you've been doing. Dammit you continue to inspire me. I love the looks of that tank and can't wait for specs. Make sure and post what brand and size in dimensions of that tank itself. I love the shape/design. POST PICS! POST PICS! POST PICS! *The crowd goes wild* Link to comment

JJ Yup, that's the plan... to transfer it to a fellow reefer's 100g. It's now a small 2.5", eats well and grazes throughout the day. Link to comment

joeydanielle Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 hi danano , just to let you know my 15gal nano tank was inspire by you , thanks Link to comment
danano Posted September 9, 2003 Author Share Posted September 9, 2003 Thanks all! Jeff, it's a custom made tank using 6mm thick glass. Dimensions are 24"L x 18"W x 18"H. I also had my sump/fuge custom made and it sits beside the main tank. Sump dimensions are 20"x14"x12". For the overflow, I am using DIY hang-on internal and external overflow boxes. Here's a pic of what it looks like. I ended up using just the external box (bottom pic). I'm using a black acrylic one for the internal overflow... notice the black background at the top-left-rear of the tank... that's it. Link to comment
Dennis_said Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 Whoo whoo... 3 times increase in size! 3 times increase in stuff!!! Link to comment
Kalanianaole Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 Yeah, your tanks are my runaway favorites. Solid. Glad to see someone else has a pajama cardinal. Mine's in a 6 gal, soon to move to a (hopefully) bonsaiish 10 gal. Seriously, your tanks are so inspirational. Makes me wanna save lives or something. Link to comment
Phish Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 Are the Clams doing OK with the 96w PC? I want a clam or two for my 10g and have the same light so I just wanted to know. Link to comment

I want a clam or two for my 10g and have the same light so I just wanted to know. The clams are doing great with 165w (3x55W) PC. They are all no more than 12 inches from the light source. I am referring to the clams in my 10g nano. Link to comment
