Gramophone Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 November 2020 September 2020 August 2020 July 2020 June 2020 May 2020 Established April 2020 Hey, nano-reef clan! It feels good to be back! I'm immensely excited to start another tank... yeah, I cant seems to venture far from this hobby. I went with a 10 gallon Waterbox this time around and I'm extremely pleased with the craftsmanship. I don't really have any major plans in place as of yet. Just kind of wingin' it again. Here is a shot of the tank so far and where I decided to put it. I thought It looked a bit anomalous sitting in the middle of my large bookcase, but the front of the tank sat flush with it and I have a plethora of oddities to surround it with Marine Depot hooked me up with some goodies to start it off. Probably my favorite/most useful thing I have purchased in a long time. 9 Quote Link to comment

Rehype Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Welcome Back Gram!! Love the tank and the decor. They complement each other well. I was just about to purchase the same model but stumbled across the tinitank thread. Really love the scape too. What type of rock? and where did you get the clowns?! I didnt know Hanna made a new salinity tester! That may have to be my next purchase. 2 Quote Link to comment
Nano sapiens Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Well, look at all dat! Seems like a bunch of the early NR reef crowd is making a return these days. Welcome back! Off to a great start, I see. Cute clowns and who doesn't love a nice hammer 😍 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I have like 12 pounds of it left that I didn't use. I have no idea what to do with it, ha. The clowns came from my LFS. The salinity tester is SO easy to use. You should definitely get one! 31 minutes ago, Nano sapiens said: Well, look at all dat! Seems like a bunch of the early NR reef crowd is making a return these days. Welcome back!

Operaman Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Loving everything about this tank so far. That aquascape is incredible! I'll second @mitten_reef - with photos like that, you don't need the macro lens 🙂. What are you shooting with right now? Quote Link to comment
Cannedfish Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Just wanted to quickly pop in and say I love the tank and the especially the photos! Great job! 1 Quote Link to comment
Nano sapiens Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Nice! Once the rock fills up with corals (funny how that happens ), this will be very nice! Quote Link to comment

Who knows where he puts it I've only had him a few days so far, so hopefully he'll get to double cheeseburger status. Quote Link to comment

SaltyGallon Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 This is a tank done really well. I'm digging the movement in the scape and the mocha storm clowns are lovely. But the whole desk looks really good - the pinned bugs and glass domes are very cool!! 1 Quote Link to comment
