Cool tank; clean and simple. How do you like the flow on the koralia nano? The only thing I'd watch out for is the cleaner wrasse as I know those guys like a lot of swimming room. I see that you have a 75 in progress in your signature so once that's up and running, I'd pop that guy into that system.

yeah the cleaner will be in the 75g once its stocked and running. then maybee i can get a firefish for the nano :) but at the moment he does seem to eat frozen food and flake ( fed daily ) as for the hydor. it does have good flow for a small tank and they are very adjustable in terms of mounting and direction. but they are on the large side i think. it takes up a big chunk of the tank. having some issues with bloody aipstasia at the mo. got to get some joes juice this week. going to build a proper stand for the 10g soon as well. so it fits exaclty on top. then i can get a neater hood built.

Betcha wish you had a surface skimmer of some type? Maybe it's just the camera shot, but lookin' a little "scummy" up top there? Looks like you're starting to get the first signs of some cyano in there too - up your nutrient exports.
