Nano Fever:Yet another Nano for me!!

danielmiller82 · Post by **danielmiller82** » Mon Aug 16, 2004 5:01 pm

I have started yet another nano. This time its a 3g Eclipse at my office. I have about 4lbs of sand(2 live/2 dead) and 2lbs of LR(4-5 more when I find the pieces I want). Im installing a pair of 13w 7" bulbs(one 10k and one ultra blue actinic) in it as soon as I can get the 13w ballasts and bulbs in. here is a pic of the tank up the first day.

That would make a nice nemo tank.

Here's a pic I took of my little guys, a Yasha Hashe Goby (Snoopy) and his lil' buddy, Woodstock a Randall's Pistol

They're in my 10 gal nano. I'll have to take more pics. It's been updated a bit.

You should start one!

Mine is looking good except for all the *^%ing flatworms. I added two more decent sized rocks, scrubbed a snail - poor dude was covered in algae, Brandon added my cute little skimmer and the water is wonderfully clear. Lots of the algae is gone, but the flatworms are still a bit of a problem. I've been doing weekly water changes and vacuuming out the worms and that seems to help, there's just so many. Guess I have to get some flatworm exit.

I have an open brain in the tank now too

and more zoa's and more mushrooms. It's a neat environment. Pictures to come!

Lookin good! Hey Melissakins and Daniel...what kind of camera do you use? I am looking to upgrade mine for one that takes good closeups. Your pics are super sharp!
