    This thread has died. TIME TO BRING IT BACK TO LIFE! :drummer:
    But I can’t do it alone.
    I took down my 10 gal and started this. http://www.3reef.com/forums/show-off-your-fish-tanks/29-gal-build-87042.html
    Since it’s a 29 gal, technically I still have a nano (barely, but still a nano)
    Show me pics of your nanos, and list any tips, or tricks that helps out. Like how to keep down evaporation, how to stack rocks in a small place, whatever you think is helpful. So for the sake of everybody who has a nano, your wants to start one, POST! When someone wants to star in the saltwater hobby, most will say “go as big as you can” but I want to show everybody a nano can be a good starter tank, or just a fun low budget build. So, I repeat, POST POST POST!

    as I recover from writer’s cramp, lets see some posts!

    Nano Fluval

    Here is an overview on my tank. This is my first fish tank ever and I didn't realize ho much went into taking care of a cycling tank and all of the hundreds of other things it seemed to take to make sure your doing it right but here are my specks. My tank is not 5 weeks and 3 days old...

    Fluval Edge 6gal

    I have...
    2 Domino Damsels
    1 Cleaner Shrimp
    1 Hermit crab
    2 Mexican Turbo Snails
    1 other snail I'm not sure what he is

    Ill post some pics if you can identify my snails for me that would be great

    Hermits and snails don’t mix well. The hermit will probably eat/kill the snail, then take it’s shell. I personally don’t like hermits. I think snails do a better job at cleaning.
