timothymarsh Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Looking good, I hope you prove your point with the tank. I hate people who assume that a tank has to be huge in order to be awesome. As a side note, you can get full size pictures by using a site like photobucket. Just post them to your account, copy the image URL and then paste this into the "insert picture" button when you make a post. Link to comment

This site is called NANO-reef.com, not HUGE-reef.com. </threadhighjack> Link to comment
timothymarsh Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 When has that point ever been made? This site is called NANO-reef.com, not HUGE-reef.com. This guy is building the tank to prove that point. Did you read his post? Link to comment
Mini-Dude Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Doesn't say that in fist post... Just said "he laughed" Link to comment
timothymarsh Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Yeah, but because it's the "last laugh" tank, it implies that the other guy was making fun of the 10 gallon tank. Link to comment
Mini-Dude Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Yeah, but because it's the "last laugh" tank, it implies that the other guy was making fun of the 10 gallon tank. Didnt mean that he thought that bigger tanks were better....whatever, I;m gonna stop highjaking his thread and lets see what he is going to reply. I'm prolly about too look like a smart-ass...

misfit36 Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 Timothy is correct. My point is this guy laughed after he asked what size tank it was, therefor I will have the last laugh when he sees what a nano reef can actually look like. Thanks for the replies and suggestions, either way. Link to comment

Thanks for the replies and suggestions, either way. K, cool, glad someones right. Hope your tank goes well. I had a 10 gallon that I dismanteled today.

misfit36 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 I felt like the AC110 was giving too much uni-directional flow in my small 10g so I decided a quick fix was in order. I cut out 2 small pieces from the plastic piece that comes with the glasstop, superglued them to the "return ramp". This actually worked pretty well deflecting the water in 3 directions, its not as good as 3 different PHs' but I still have my Nano240. Thanks for looking Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Nice tank, well at least for a skimpy little 10 gal. JK, JK!!! Welcome to NR! Sorry your thread got trolled right off the bat! Link to comment
jcastle Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 when you show that dude how awesome nano reefs are punch him in the face and say "who's laughing now, #####!" the # signs is a word that begins with a "B" lol Link to comment
timothymarsh Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I thought I was right, lol. Great tank, but can you throw in a couple of front tank shots so I can see the light spread on the par30 bulb? thanks Link to comment
asting Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Very cool. How about a FTS? Link to comment
MeepNand Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Where did you get the par30 bulbs? Very nice tank, BTW. FTS needed. Link to comment
kevlow Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 +1 for the FTS. Will follow along with the thread. Good Luck Kevin Link to comment
misfit36 Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 Ok so its been a little while. I have since added a second Boost LED, much happier now. I also changed the scape creating more of the mountain effect which I wanted. Some new additions are a BTA (yea yea I know, too early but he seems happy. moved for a couple days but has stayed put since), some GSP, favia and a TR ocellaris. The monti also changed to a crazy neon green after a couple days. Link to comment
timothymarsh Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Tank is looking good. I really like the BTA, and that's crazy that the monti changed to such a different color. Watch out for that GSP taking over the whole tank, lol Link to comment
