Technically I started this nano before Krish started his but since he helped me through figuring a lot of stuff out like how to post pictures I had to give him some credit.
I made a very difficult descision to downsize from my 55 gallon, I simply didn't have the time or money to do it justice but with a bunch of laying around stuff I was able to put together this little 10 gallon nano:
I really want to be going bigger instead of smaller but I work full time and I go to school full time so I had to rethink my use of time a little.
Here are a few more pictures:
The tank has been up and running for about two weeks now, here is a picture of its first inhabitants (my little green banded goby didn't want to hold still):
I took everything in this tank out of my 55 except most of the live rock came out of a friends (lew90) tank. I have been monitoring all the parameters daily right now and doing 20% water changes on Saturday's. I am a little nervous about how unstable I know a nano can be but this has been a very fun project. Let me know what you think, my temp swing is still a little more than I want, from 80 to about 81.5 but I don't have a fan on it yet.
I will post more pictures as things progress.
