    Hello everyone./DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/biggrin.gif I have been out of the reefkeeping for a bit but now I'm back. I down size from my 40 breeder to a 12g nano.
    I'm going all softies with tank, maybe a couple LPS but thats when I get my water back to where it should be. Here are a few pics of it now.

    Hey welcome back Monty...

    Does Covey even have a tank anymore? I imagine his tank as being a festering pool of murky water that hasn't been touched in months! Either that or he sold it to buy gold... LOL

    Just a little update on the nano, I didn't really like the rock work so I did a little rearranging. I like it better this way it seems to give me more room for frags./DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/biggrin.gif

    I also added a Hydor koralia 1, and took the bio balls out of the second chamber and put some rubble and chato in there. I'm using a old reptile lamp and a 40watt bulb I had laying around to light it up.

    I did some water testing and everything turned out good so I think I'm ready to start adding coral./DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/w00t.gif

    Monty, if i were you i would replace that bulb with a screw in type PC, it will stay a lot cooler. I am thinking that 40watt bulb might heat up your tank pretty good.
