SD619 Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 Hello everyone! Here are some pictures of my nano reef at 8 months old. It was started on February 22, 2002. It has come a long way since then after going through a few aquascaping changes and a long move. The tank is an ALife 5 gallon with overflow all-in-one system. It came with a 27watt daylight/actinic combo bulb, but that has burned out. I replaced the original bulb with a less powerful 18watt daylight/actinic combo about 3 months ago, and it's been working just fine since then. I also replaced the original return pump from the overflow with a RIO90 and put the original pump in the back-bottom-right corner of the main tank. The tank houses all the corals shown below along with a 2-inch peacock mantis shrimp. It is very hard to get a picture of the shrimp, but I'll keep trying to get one so you can all see him. He occassionally likes to come out of his caves and grab floating Formula 1 bits from the surface. Well, enough writing... Here are the pictures: Full Tank Shot Link to comment

Rocket_155 Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 nice tank what are you using for curculation? Is the Xenia propagratied on the rock of was is always there? Link to comment
SD619 Posted October 25, 2002 Author Share Posted October 25, 2002 Thanks for the compliment =). Circulation for the tank is stated above in the first post. As for the Xenia, I've had it for about 4 weeks now and it has since tripled in size. I've just been dosing my tank with BIONIC. I'm hoping for it to start propagating onto the surrounding rocks.
