gena Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 This is sooo gorgeous!!!! I covet those pink and green blastos OMG... they are incredible!!!! What kind are they and where did you find them? Link to comment
NanoTopia Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 I was actually about to comment about how jealous I was that your overflow was that clean and ask you how you kept the acrylic so clean! Seriously though, I love this tank. It is an amazingly well thought out, clean, and consists of healthy, vibrant livestock. Thanks Paleo, I haven't touched the acrylic overflow since starting the tank, it went through a stage with some algae on it then it all disappeared over time with help of the CUC. Thanks for your complements, thanks for stopping in Link to comment
NanoTopia Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 This is sooo gorgeous!!!! I covet those pink and green blastos OMG... they are incredible!!!! What kind are they and where did you find them? Hello Gena, I got the Blastomussa wellsi at a LFS here in BC. The green centres have become increasingly more bioluminescent over the months, photo can't show how stunning this looks in the tank, even with the day lights on. At night its a real light show with all the other corals glowing. Link to comment

Maybe I'll show my LFS a picture of yours and ask if he can find me some just like them . It's a new page, I think we need more photos of the blastos . Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 How do you feel the nano box mini fits the dims, too much for a 8x8x8? Cad led isn't cutting it... Link to comment
Mr. Microscope Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 A-MAY-zing!!! How are those montis doing up on top? Have you figured out some sort of shade for them? Link to comment

Arkayology Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Your tank is looking spectacular, Christine! I think my fav would have to be the monti at the top. Is that a rainbow that is getting a ton of light? Link to comment

How do you feel the nano box mini fits the dims, too much for a 8x8x8? Cad led isn't cutting it... Fits 12 x 12 x 12 quite well, I would think just as well for 8" cubed, need the Coralux Storm controller and skies the limit A-MAY-zing!!! How are those montis doing up on top? Have you figured out some sort of shade for them? Thanks Mr. M, They are doing just fine, no shade, they are getting blasted 1" below the water line and seem to be fine with it.

Officially following disssss Thanks for following Your tank is looking spectacular, Christine! I think my fav would have to be the monti at the top. Is that a rainbow that is getting a ton of light? Thanks Indy, It is a rainbow, I originally had it down near the bottom and it didn't look like it was doing so great so I put it up on top, encrusting nicely now Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Do you just run it at 100%? Link to comment
Illuiix Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Clean! I like how I couldn't spot a single frag disk in the tank or did you just hid those well....lol. Link to comment
NanoTopia Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 Do you just run it at 100%? Dave custom made my Nanobox, 4 channels, Coralux Storm controller. I run it about 50% overall. Clean! I like how I couldn't spot a single frag disk in the tank or did you just hid those well....lol. Thank you lurve. Thanks Dave Link to comment

RollaJase Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Awesome stuff, I love chalice of yours, how its cascading down the rock. Mine is starting to do the same . Link to comment
gabe3eb Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Christine - just read through your thread for the first time (can't believe I hadn't yet, but I have been "off reefing" for the last year). Reading it kind of reminds me when a friend recommends a long TV series that is already out on DVD. You go into marathon mode over a weekend and just keep watching and watching. Turns out to be your new favorite show of all time! That pretty much sums up what it was like to read through the thread and learn about your build . Aspirational is the best comment so far!

Thanks, that chalice I have had for 2 years, always had problems on and off with it, never seemed to want to grow much. It came to me originally in bad condition. Now it is starting and I hope it continues. Christine - just read through your thread for the first time (can't believe I hadn't yet, but I have been "off reefing" for the last year).
