Having been out of the hobby for a while, I finally dove back in a month ago and started an apartment-friendly nano tank with the sleek Fluval Spec V. Full equipment and stocking list is on my thread at Nano-Reef.com, but since I'm in DC I thought I'd introduce myself and post a few pics here. (I apologize for the iPhone photography, but so it goes for now).
Things are still very new but long-term plans are for a mixed reef with lots of sessile critters as well. I'm going for SPS with small-pattern growth forms so they look attractive and appropriately sized for this little tank. With this small of a volume, I'm happy to do the maintenance required to keep up with the high bioload. You'll notice I have five fish (here's where I drop a sarcastic joke about "one per gallon, right?"), but everyone's happy so far and once the clowns get of age, they'll graduate out.
Anyway, I plan to be at the event this weekend and wanted to say hi in advance. (In case anyone reading this is attending, I'm very interested in decent size frags of pocillopora and possibly millepora.) I will do a more final aquascape following the weekend event and whatever frag haul it brings in.
