Dipg Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 1 word... AMAZING!!! Thanks Congrats Man Looks Sick. Thanks Link to comment
HardwareLust Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Wow, I'm totally blown away. You have an amazing looking tank. If I could make one small request, I'd like to see you take a couple of pics from a bit farther away from the tank to get some perspective on it's size. It does look magnificent, though. I've been lurking around here for awhile and finally decided to register just so I could congratulate you properly. Link to comment

Beautiful Thanks Congrats Dip! Well deserved! One of my favorite tanks, i like the scape layout too! Thanks. I always thought the scape was so..bleh. I think its how the corals have grown over the rocks which make the scape look so nice. Link to comment

Captain Hook Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 What additives are you dosing? ie calcium, iodine, magnesium.... Link to comment
Dipg Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 What additives are you dosing? ie calcium, iodine, magnesium.... None just weekly 2.5 gallon water change. Link to comment

Dipg Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Congratulations on winning TOTM. You have a great looking tank. Thanks a lot..means a lot coming from you as you may have seen that your tank was one of my inspirations and i mentioned that in my TOTM profile. Link to comment
uwwmatt Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Thanks a lot..means a lot coming from you as you may have seen that your tank was one of my inspirations and i mentioned that in my TOTM profile. Oh I missed that. Thank you. You'll be inspiring others now too! Link to comment
Hognoxious Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Looks great! As others have said - hard to believe that is only 6 gallons ... you did a nice job creating depth and variety in the scape. Link to comment
ParrotHead251 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Your reef is absolutely beautiful, and the fact that this is your first SW tank makes it all the more impressive. The extent of your research and preparation is readily apparent. Many people in this hobby try for years without accomplishing anything close to what you've done with your first shot at it. Truly inspirational for beginners!! By the way, if you're not using any additives, I wanna know what salt you're using!!! Link to comment

Tyler_clementine Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 does anybody know how many total watts of LED's are over it? Link to comment
Dipg Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I have nanocumstoms fluval edge light fixture on top i.e. 18 - 3watt leds (12 white and 8 Royal Blue). does anybody know how many total watts of LED's are over it? Link to comment

dmarkham Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Wow that is the best edge I have seen. I wondered if you could ever get the edge to become a working reef tank. Now I know you can. Wow is all I can say. Link to comment
thefishboyy18 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 hey, beautiful tank btw. i have the same, about 2 months old, fully cycled, but i have a problem with ditritus, like you said in your weekly maintanance, you blow it off your rocks. does it appear everyday often? cause mine does, and i have to blow it off and vacuum it up and i shouldn't have to. i have a good cleanup crew consisting of crabs, hermits, and snails. could it be my rock is still curing? and dead crap on it is still dying? i have a hard time believing that. But you have the same problem im guessing cause you blow it off everyday? Link to comment

But you have the same problem im guessing cause you blow it off everyday? The ditritus which i blow off during my weekly water change is from the rocks and you really can't see it until you are actually blowing it with turkey baster. There is nothing on my sand. I am not sure what is causing yout ditritus issues unless its not really ditritus but something else. At 2 months your tank should be cycled but i have seen tanks with diatoms outbreak but that also should go away as your tank matures. You might want to keep an eye on it and take some pictures and post it here to make sure its ditritus and not some kind of algae. Link to comment
jacktrippercity Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Hi, I am new to the nano world could you check out my tank pics let me know what i need to get mine at least looking like yours, thank Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I like the idea of using the mags for frags on the side walls. I'm new to this and didn't know those even existed. It gives a nice cave like look, grotto, more depth- with that happening did you find the light you had looked brighter because the sides of the tank were more covered and light wasn't escaping? I'll be starting my 8 gallon soon and know it'll be just a little at a time, slowly, making sure things like where they've been placed. I'm in the early phases of all the researching and before you know it ...it's 3am and I've been on the internet alI night looking at pictures, forums, etc. I'm really drawn to the colors in your tank. Some are just a modge podge of color but yours appears thought out. Did you have a color scheme already in mind? Lastly, I like your philosophy, keep it simple as far as letting the water changes be the supplementation. In general I believe you can upset a system by doing too much, trying too much to be God with it. If you can do this with a 6 I have no doubt and only can be in awe with what you could do with larger tank. I think if you have the discipline and can master a nano then having a larger should be a piece of cake, certainly less daunting. Last question, how much have your varied clowns grown in the tank since you started. I'm not sure if I want to put one fish on its own whether it be a false percula or yellow damselfish, something of the like, or 2. Guess I'm concerned about the bioload. Link to comment
