gawf4fun Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 As it is a show off thread, I'm showing off my new I-Phone's photo quality as well as a current shot of my 24 gallon nano. The latter has about 25 pounds of live rock with a variety of Zoos, Softies, LPS and SPS including encrusting and plating montis, green tip bird's nest and blue tip acropora of some type. It's been running for about 2 years in it's current state with a 150 watt metal halide pendant (14K Phoenix bulb), Tunze 9002 skimmer and just recently upgraded from Koralia nano to a Vortech MP-10. This is resolving my small cyano difficulty and the corals are absolutely loving the increased flow!!!(clap) Here's the pic: Thanks for looking. mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramy Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 That is awesome. I will use your post as leverage to get the wife to let me have a mp10 for my nano =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islandoftiki Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Wow. How are some of those corals not stinging each other to death? That's a beautiful tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Googs Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Makes my tank look empty. I'll have to come and check it out sometime in person. Are those the rics we bought in the front there? Looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are those the rics we bought in the front there? Looks great! Yes, those are some of them. I've also taken a couple color variants home to the 180 as well. If you're torn on whether or not to go Vortech...JUST DO IT! mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gawf4fun Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Wow. How are some of those corals not stinging each other to death? That's a beautiful tank. Thanks for the compliment. There is a little combat going on and a skirmish line drawn between two different colonies of sunset monti as well as one of the sunsets vs. a chilipepper monti? (green w/small red polyps). My green star polyps are also battling my orange cap in the back of the tank, but have changed course and started to climb the back wall (much to my delight!) No major casualties however.

Islandoftiki Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Maybe you should give a talk at one of the meeting on how to pack your aquarium that tight with corals and not have a major disaster. You'd have my full undivided attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finch6013 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Nice nano. I am thinking of setting up another nano and seeing your tank really makes me miss my old solana. I've had tanks from nano to over 200g and I think there is something to be said for making a beautiful nano. I hope we get to see more pics soon.
