Great looking tank!

I also wish I had a bit of cash to add a few corals to my BioCube...

And a car to go to the LFS.

i've seen people with tunze in their nanos. so it would work especially if you want to keep sps. your tank can do without one or if you want more flow just add another koralia 1 on the other end. the tunze would probably create a sandstorm in your tank

Very nice ILM75DODGE. i've been contemplating on adding some slow growing macro to my pico, I was thinking maybe some Halimeda. Anyways, I love your tank. And its so spacious.

Nice looking tank.

Had you just cleaned it when you snapped the pictures?

Looks really nice and clean!

How do you like the Koralia 1? Does it provide enough additional movement?

It does ok I am going to add Koralia 2 and put them on the JBJ Wavemaker. Like many people say it does create good flow but it is dispersed so there is no stream
