My 10 Gallon Nano Reef

This is my 10 gallon Nano reef. I started with this and shortly after decided I wanted more so I started the 16.
This tank has been up since the end of July 07. Eventually I hope to have a 30 gallon going and then I plan on using this one as a quarantine tank.

 

Look'n good.

Just so you know the second to last pic. those are hydroids a common reef pest.
they have the ability to sting other corals and can reproduce quickly.

Hey! Nice tank! +2 from me

Cheers!

 

Thank you all,

Yea I just recently found that out, I am watching them close. Figure if I see them spreading
beyond the rock they are on now I will scrape them off as I find them. they look kinda neat
waving in the breeze.

I set this tank up first just to cure my rock for the other tank while I gathered up the stuff
for my other one. I was going to convert this tank into a quarantine tank once my 16 was up
and running. But after I moved most all the rock over to the 16 a couple of months ago this
tank looked a bit forlorn so I had to go out and buy more rock for it.

Problem with that is now I know I have have MTS (Multiple tank syndrome) because I am
looking for another tank to set up as a quarantine tank! And as we all have found out MTS
can be really expensive to treat!

 

Looks awesome. Nice tank.....

 

Also have several "patches" of them in my tank. Don't seem to bother my soft corals at all. I have zoa's that live right among them.

They stay pretty localized in colonies on a couple of rocks and have not shown much interest in spreading throughout tank.

Any spreading has been to overflows where there is little competition with anything else.

I kind of like the looks of them also (as long as they stay under control)...

FYI, have seen my Red Legged hermits "mowing" them periodically.

 

Another 10g person.... Very nice. I like the setup and when coral fills the tank in some mroe it is goign to look even better.

 

How did you do your overflow?
