Si I finally got my camera replaced after a long drawn out fight with Minolta. So here are some pictures of my 75 and my Nano.
So without any further delay.

Here is my Nano


Here is a close up of the fish and first coral.


Here is the whole thing and the bed stand it is on


And here is the refitted canopy. I used a 13 Watt PC ballast and reflector from Hellolights with a 50/50 Actinic/10K bulb.
It took some cutting and rewiring but it looks nice I think.


And my 75 gallon Reef


A close-up of my newest coral. Anyone want to help identify.


Here is my smaller Mushroom colony. This grew from a single hitchhiker.


Here is my larger and prettier colony.


My hammer coral. Probably one of my favorites.


And finally my green Star polyps. THey are really starting to spread fast.

Really nice pictures

Can't help you any since I am a noob at marine stuff

What sort of filtration do you use on the nano?

Just an Aquaclear Mini with LR rubble and a small bag of Carbon.

Thanks DRO. I bet my tank would look a lot better with a New Canopy and all the lights mounted. Don't you...

Im getting to it! I have to go find one more big box that I can cut up and then ill have it on the UPS truck. Just waiting on the body shop to get another big box in.

Love the hammer corals, how long have u had them?

great stuff.

I have had the hammer coral just over a year now. When I first got it there were only two small branches on it. Now It has over 17 that I can count and probably a couple that are hard to see because of the angle and such. The pictures don't show the color really well but it is a purple with tan highlights.

hey i love your nano tank, what type of stuff you have in there, you said you used a aquamini with LR rubble whats LR rubble ? ahh im so new at this, but i wanna learn about clowns and stuff, i wanna have some my self = )
not too sure what that means small bag of Carbon. thanks in advance

Live rock rubble is just small pieces of Live rock. There are a couple ways to get it. First you can go to your LFS and just get a lot of tiny pieces from their LR tanks. Or you can do what I did and take a ball pin hammer to a larger piece.

Carbon is used in any aquarium. Fresh water or Marine. It is used in filters to help remove some of the nasties from the water. It is also used in water filtration systems such as brita.

thanks thanks!

How many liters is your small tank? I have seen quite a few here with a buildin filter at the back, very neat. I take it water changes are quite often on it.
Your big setups looks very nice, keep it up.

Not sure the conversion rate from US Gallons to Liters. I think there is a calculator on the page that does it though.

I don't do water changes all that often. Perhaps once a month or every 6 weeks. There isn't enough Bio Load on the tank to really cause to much trouble,.

its a 5 gal tank right? or 7.5?

5 US Gallons. Correct.
