printerdown01 Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 What's the temp in your reef?? Catalina gobies need really really cool water to live for any lengthy period of time! I really wish LFSs wouldn't sell them!! Honestly, don't expect him to live 6 months... ...sorry... On a more positive note, NICE TANK! Did you get that rock around here? If so where did you get it from!?!? What lighting are you using for the fuge? Everything looks fantastic! Link to comment
J-Bass Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 Have the same question too about the refugium light. Brand, cost, place you got it? Where da white women at? Link to comment

Thanks for such the positive note! I keep my tank constant at 80. I know they do better in lower temperatured water but after much research, I decided to give it a try.. I hope to prove you wrong.

And the other half, which is Tonga, I bought at Aquatic Warehouse. I currently have a 13watt Jalli Full Hooded PC on the fuge that I bought at Aquatic as well for like 26 bucks or something. It's using a 50/50 daylight/actinic bulb. Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 Look at the sweat just dripping off that goby! Link to comment

cmoreash Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 Cool tank, really slick lookin! CLEAN!!! Yea, I agree with Printer, those gobies are cold water beasts, a store here has some in a display tank, it's got a chiller tho, and they are NOT for sale. I hope yours does ok though NICE STAR POLYPS YOU GOT THERE!!!! Link to comment
NepTuNe-UsD Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 I agree with the consensus.. Beautiful nano my friend! Its like the perfect example of what a nano should look like.. nice aquascaping, nice variety of corals, not over-packed, perfect lighting, healthy ihabitants, and I love that refugium. It looks like a CPR fuge, am I right? Youre making me wish I bought that instead of the Bakpak. Good job! Link to comment
Crakeur Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 Man I hate looking at other people's algae free tanks. I couldn't imagine my tank not showing signs of algae on the glass and in the fuge. Chit, not even the crusty growing on the sides. I hate you and your purty tank. It looks incredible and I am jealous. Link to comment
Metznreef Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 great tank. the catalina gobies do require the lower temps and do not have very good records of having a long life span in captivity. the really need to be taken out of the trade. Link to comment

reiple Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 good looking setup. I am also considering a small refugium/sump for my 8.8 gallon and your setup would be an inspiration. I am still setting it up (having the canopy custom built still). Keep reefin! Link to comment
Sahin Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 WOW, your tanks progressing very nicely! I am really impressed with it. Looking awesome! Keep it up. Link to comment
kimura Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 Nice Tank NaNO! What type of lighting are you using? And how long do you keep it on for? Link to comment
jt48 Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 Very nice. I just set up my nano 10/11/02 but not 100% confident I like how I aquascaped. The tank like yours is a AGA 10. I may model mine like yours. As a new member I have gone through all of MEMBERS tanks in which I really like Greenlincolns 7.5 gallon bow and now I am in the process of viewing all of Members Nano Reefs. So far I like yours the best. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing. Link to comment
NaNO ReeFiN Posted November 5, 2002 Author Share Posted November 5, 2002 Thanks for the nice comments. The lighting is a retrofit kit from flying fish express.. CSL 2x32watt (10,000k daylight / Ultra Actinic) bulbs. My lights are on from noon to 10pm, with the actinic going on and off a half hour before and after the daylight bulb. Link to comment
ross76053 Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 Man, I agree with Crakeur - your no-visible-algae tank makes me sick! I've gotta have that CPR Fuge for my 10-gallon (like, today). Incredible tank, by the way.... You're not skimming, right NaNO? Ross Link to comment
kenicheema Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 Sorry if this question sounds stupid. what is CSL ? Nice tank Nano. I'm trying to start a 10 gallon tank also (my 1st attempt at reefing), and your tank is truly inspirational. Link to comment

Guru_Del Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 Hey Nano what is the temp in your tank and how long have you had the catalina goby? I thought they were a cold water fish =) Link to comment
ross76053 Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 Oh boy - here we go again with the catalina goby water temperature thing... I can't handle it anymore - not TWICE in one post!!! X) Link to comment
