Well thats all for now I will do updates as thing progress.
And feedback is welcome, I just wanted to say that some corals can live and grow under the lights I have. I have about $50 in the lights I would love to upgrade but I am budget challenged for the moment.

That last coral is not a fire coral or even close.
It looks like a chunk of leather or a gorgonian.

[meco65]

I dont know what it is. I got it a Reef club meating as a small frag they had fraged a fire coral I thought it was one. Thanks (Homereef) for the heads up I changed the post to ? coral.

[Eklikewhoa]

Those compact fluorescent screw ins say equivalent to 100w but it's not...you go by what they actually are which is at most 28w not what it is equivalent to.

Nice start.

[meco65]

Oh ok thanks (Eklikewhoa) So I guess I have about 90 watts then. I may have to add more lights.

[meco65]

Back to the top.

lose that fake coral background...please!?

[Riner]

Cool DIY. Great Pics!

[meco65]

Thanks for all the replies. (burtbollinger) Yea I think I need to change the back ground im planning on getting a blue one from the LFS.

Yes a blue background would definitely look better than the current one ......but a good looking tank overall. I have to say your nano looks much better.
