Now that's really small. I had one of those 2.5 gal nanos. I wonder what is the smallest tank available. I think I saw a .25 gal tank once.

Chris,

Quite impressive sir!

Luke, a guy in my office has one of those little shrimp enclosed tanks that look like a globe. It's the size of a baseball and has these small pods running around.

thanks for all the kind coments. ive seen those tank howard there not too cheap if i recall (around $100-$150) if i rmeber correctly for one of those things. id like to set one of those up as a reef, im guessing theyd be hard to aquascape.

Most cool- You have had this going a while- like the idea of putting cheato in the back- I will have to try that in my Nano- You have made it into a labor, though simple with those volumes- your water change shedule to keep the Calcium alk and all up for those calcium loving creatures?

Regards,

Lee

The tanks look great!! Where did you get the orange zoos? I am in the nano reef build off and I am making the tank a zoo and ric tank. Once again tanks look great.

What kind of evaporation do you have on the tank? I imagine it would be pretty large comparetively.

thanks for the comments. last night my 7 watt went out and broke. tonight i went to check on my tank and my purple acan has started tissue recession. i know its not water quality or anything because i did a w/c yesterday with nsw that was at the same temp as my tank. im gonna keep feediong it and see how it doe sover the next few days. hopefully it pulls through. the miscromussa is doing awesome tho, its even grown a little bit from what i see. anyone have any hints to help save my acan? im really worried, its a nice lookin coral and it wasnt cheap. anyways any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks
