Awesome man, looks like a really nice tank and will be following to see its progress.

I also did it on my first nana after i had installed a new meatl halide light, the break was one hour around 1 in the afternoon and it seemed to speed up the growth in some corals, fish did just fine too.

You are just going to have to set up a 500 for him.

nice little tank man, love that small LED fixture.

your tank is looking really nice.

looking good Rob can you explain what is in the back chameber, what is after the drain in the sump and what is that bucket in the return side of the sump?

petsmart sells 20 or 25 pound bags of dry aragonite sand for 19.99 and you can just get one of the wamas members to donate some live sand if you dont have any.

LOL, i just got that scoly yesterday from unique corals, nano masterpiece for sure. That brain is that clowns home, i dont think he wants to sell his house right now, not the right market

thanks roni, i got some new corals and i took some raw pictures, they came out a little better than expected.

that is really cool man, i have one similar to yours and has not done that.

I agree, even for some DIY kits. Very nice start for sure, i wish i would have gone a more economical route but this hobby is crazy and will consume you at one point.

nice little nano, how are you liing the LED's on it?

nice growth and chalices man.

great pictures Ben, your zoas are amazing.

thanks surf&turf.

you can still find them out there, i hope they ar not discontinued, it is a great pump.. http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/store/maxi-jet-powerhead-1200-295gph.html

some top down shots.

there should definitely be a splash guard but very neat idea since it does serve as the ATO. A dedicated fish room would be the solution to all the problems mentioned above, with all electrical equipment guarded by water proof boxes in case the rain cloud moved to the outside of the tank

Sunscreen in a pill? Coral compounds may be key http://bodyodd.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/08/31/7544164-sunscreen-in-a-pill-coral-compounds-may-be-key

that is a BEAST of a tank man, congrats on the new build.

a couple buggers will hold them and its all natural

Thanks man,this will have to happen again in a few months once i find a house, but at least i feel confortable moving it, it was not as bad as i thought.

kole tang for the win.

move went way better than i expected, i basically bought 4 5 gallon buckets with lids amd one teg gallon tank, i used the ten gallon tank for housing most of the frags, placed stratigivally so they dont sting each other, put some of the loose rocks and some bigger comolines in the buckets and left about 3 gallons of water, some rock and sand in the tank for the move as i was not able to catch a single fish. I have a decent in home picknick table that has a removevale top which is very tick wood so i used that to transfer the tank, i slid the tank on to it and was able to have a better grip after and then did the same for putting it back at the new place, i still have not done a water change but plant to later today, moving has been a pain in the butt, but at least the tank is done a for a few months

maybe an imbalance in your water, have you checked your PH Alk? one of mine bleached real bad, then i found out my ph was really low.
