Ok, I can't get a pic to load so I am doing this in a round-about way. So sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks for looking :)

Winged Ocean, that's a very nice looking nano reef you have there. I wish you lots of luck with it. Keep us updated every once in a while on its progress. I had a 7 gallon bow front nano some time ago and it did very well. I broke it down when we moved and havent set it again. That's a future project for my son.:D :D

Sorry it took me soooo long to get back. With the holidays finally ending, I have found time to get back on line. I do apologize, and thank you.
The tank is still doing great except that I do have a planaria problem. Right now I am just syphoning to control the problem.
And Clove polyps are growing like a weed. They put my xenia to shame lol :)
Thanks again.
Here are a lot of pictures of my 5 1/2gl, my 29gl, and a doctors 75 gl tank I have started.

Nice lil nano.

I started a 5.5 also a few months ago, just finally got some lights on it about 3 weeks ago 2-NO 15watts 1-actinic 1-daylight

All I have in it is about 4 lbs of LR about 2-4 lbs SB from my 3 year old 75 gallon, a very small green zoo and purple mushroom frag. But I like to take my time.



Your looks real nice though:D
