NanoTopia Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 Didn't Tony Robins say that? LOL I'm ready for a new fts AGAIN! Already? Great FTS Christine! I love the rainbow monti btw. I have been meaning to get a frag of that myself. Thanks, I hope it grows fast in this tank. On order... Yellowstriped (Orange Lined) Cardinalfish (Ostorhinchus cyanosoma) Link to comment
brad908 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I had 3 of those yellow striped in my 30c, really good looking fish. Link to comment
NanoTopia Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 I had 3 of those yellow striped in my 30c, really good looking fish. That's good to know Brad, I was thinking 3 exactly. This tank has me excited again about the hobby. Nothing like a new build to renew interest. Link to comment

Arkayology Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 That shrimp is looking a little cramped on those small palys lol. Link to comment
buddythelion Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Figured it was far too long since the last FTS... That's so epic... Link to comment

NanoTopia Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 Oooo new brain! I like it. O ma gird Thanks again guys, right now my tank is experiencing the diatoms, no FTS for a while Link to comment
Nano sapiens Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 FTS It's a start Still have much to add but it's a start. My Sharknose goby was photo shy but he seems to be enjoying his new digs. I'm going to be moving some corals around and adding quite a bit over the next few weeks. Nice! Very clean build, for sure!

xcom Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Hi, I have been followed your thread and your tank looks full of awesomeness! How do you like your Nano Box? I'm thinking of swapping my AI Vega for this unit because I'm not pleased with how red/yellow/green colors (in corals) don't pop as much. Do you run your light at full power? Thanks so much!

I'm thinking of swapping my AI Vega for this unit because I'm not pleased with how red/yellow/green colors (in corals) don't pop as much. Do you run your light at full power? Thanks so much! I chose the leds in the fixture and have them on 4 channels so I am pretty happy with the spectrum. I have 13 leds and would say I'm averaging 50% right now. Think that's where I will settle at. I am not big on warm spectrums for my tanks, I have found them problematic in the past but obviously some warm is needed to achieve white in the tank otherwise it would be too blue/cyan. The nice thing about a custom unit is you can choose what spectrums you want in it, and with a controller, be able to tweak it considerably after that, can't go wrong. Nice! Very clean build, for sure! Thank you, thank you Link to comment
Mr. Microscope Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Wow! Beautiful colors on that trachy. I love the pink/orange around the edge. On your last FTS it looks like there is something on top of your rocks. What do you have up there? Encrusting monti? Link to comment

Thanks Mr.M, yes I put a frag of monti up there but it started to beach so I have moved it to the sand bed for a while. I was hoping to have the top are all incrusting monti but it may be a little too bright, I will try again with a rainbow monti and see how that does. I am planning to pick up some more frags soon, little bit of everything to fill in the white spaces a bit more then just let it grow. I have 6 small shrimp and a small goby in there and I was thinking to add some cardinals as well because if you stand two feet away from the tank it looks empty, LOL. Link to comment

Maybe move the monti's up the side of the glass slowly on a frag rack to photo acclimate them. Cardinals get pretty big fast. My bangaii started out as a tiny pup and it got huge after just about a year. IDK, maybe pajamas stay smaller. Big or small, they do just kinda float around. So, maybe they'd be okay, but I wouldn't risk it. Alternate suggestion: I'm not so sure how this would work with your goby in there, but I recommend a captive bred orchid dottyback if you can find one. It's a stunning addition, explores all over the tank, and so far mine has been a perfect citizen with all the other fish in my system. The captive bred dottybacks are supposedly much more chill as are orchids. It'd definitely give a little more action to your tank as I'm sure every time walk by you'll see a little purple flashing around out of the corner of your eye. Link to comment
andersonkc Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 What is the switching mechanism you used? Would love to add something like that. Electricals Reservoir Area Starting to sort out the wires Looking at the front of the reservoir area without reservoir tank Looking up under the reservoir area, still some more cords to plug in once the sump and ATO reservoir is in place Link to comment
