steve's 5 gallon nano reef

Thank you Ultraner

kss2801 I have them about 1 inch away from the main rockwork at present

excellent reefmonkey , they are a lot of fun

GSP - those 3 island are a result of just that the main colonies in my 3ft do ooze mantle in an effort to reach something solid to attach to and once those pieces where substantial I cut them off and glued them to the small rocks they are on now

as you know its easier to see this after lights have been out a while and polyps retracted so thats when I check the islands for any new grow outs and can trim them off if required

Steve

 

Great work on the tank Steve, I love coming to see the progress this little thing has done! I always come to be amazed thats for sure!

Keep it up!

 

a quick update on this thread
March 2010




May 2010




GSP and softies - mainly cleared out to provide room for the expanding Zoanthids

Steve

 

Great progression, going zoanthids only? Lots of great colors to choose from.

 

Yes 2 in 10 - I have decided to focus on them and try and acheive all over coverage





Steve

 

That should be an awesome looking tank when grown out.

 

Very Nice Steve!!!! It has come a long way. Mine is doing pretty good also. I dont know if you have the same problem, but mine takes alot of work to keep really clean looking!!

 

nice tank i wana start one two

 

I've gotta figure out a new way to browse the forum, apparently. Too many threads go under my radar. As old as this thread is I've never seen it!

Beautiful tank, Steve.

 

thanks 2 in 10

I know what you mean Robman , I find this smaller set up requires more tank cleaning , algae scraping - I think its simply that with a piece of glass 18 inches x 12 inches a small circle of coralline algae is really noticable but on a piece of glass 5ft long you could easily ignore it.

thank you Fallens Reef
they are relatively inexpensive to set up, especially if most of the inhabitants come from an existing set up

Thanks Reef Sparky
the "show off your fish tank" forum is rightly very popular and threads move rapidly on here
