Here's mine.
Tank - 20L with about 35lbs of LR and 20 lbs of LS. About 6 months old, but a lot of stuff is from older tanks.

Equipment - Large fuge in my 10aga sump with chaeto, Bakpak2 skimmer, and carbon. Icecap 4x24w T5 retro kit, CL-280 chiller. Flow is a mag5 through a scwd with 4 outputs on my return, and a mag7 through another scwd on the chiller. I dose randy's 2-part, and lugols and use RC for water changes.

Livestock - Pair of black and white ocellaris clowns, midas blenny, pair of harlequin shrimp, and I'm holding my cousins cardinal while he moves...he get's to pull it out.

Brian, that's a nice little flower pot ya got there. How long have you had it? I hear they are real hard to keep and they will look awesome for a while and then all the suddent they go downhill pretty quick. We have attempted 2 of them in our 90 G and have thus far kept them alive for only about 6 months or so. I love those things but don't want to get another until I know what REALLY works in keeping them.

Hi everyone

I have a question according to the rules. I have been forced to do one minor and one major change to my tank. My Picasso trigger did not allow my cleaning staff to do what they should do. Every hermit crab was hiding. I had do take him/her out - he/she was only one inch – but a hell of an inch J This was the minor thing. The major thing is that when I come home this evening I saw that my large euphyllia had got something like "brown jelly disease" so I had to take it out. This euphyllia was my king in the tank and most of my aquascaping was concentrated round this large coral. I have to replace this with something like it but probably another type of euphyllia if I found any.

In this situation – can the tank still participate in the competition or should I take it away because it will not really be the same tank when I have to replace a dominating coral.

Sincerely Lasse

lassef, sorry to hear about your euphyllia. Hopefully it comes back. I'll tell you what. Simply upload a new FTS and 3 new photos after you replace the coral, and I'll strike your initial submission. I'm sure your tank will still look great.

Thank you

It will probably take some time before I rearrange the tank. I have to decide how to do the aquascaping and if I want to test with that type of euphyllia again. I took my saw and cut away all bad parts and have a little frag left. Probably I’ll place some mushrooms (and star polyps) in that part of the tank for a while. Meanwhile I participate with the old photos and if I ready with the new layout before the time ending, I’ll send in a new photo of the whole tank. The three small photos is still valid.

Sincerely Lasse

Awsome tanks everyone!

I don't post alot here but i do spend alot of time goin through the info and have learned a ton from this site. Anyway I thought i would throw my aquapod into the mix even though it doesn't even compare but oh well.

Anyways its been up for 6 months and have been slowly adding corals so here it is.


the really white spot is epoxy to hold those two rocks together b/c the one kept falling over hopefully it will get covered w/ algea soon



I'm always open for suggestions so fire away!

I'll add my nanocube again though it needs a few months of growth to really have a shot.

20H Nano Reef

Well i think this is my first reef central post, i've been lurking around here for some time. I think this is a great Thread to showcase nano tanks. So here it goes: 20H custom stand and hood (by me)with 2x65 PC, 2x24w T5HO. Rio nano skimmer with airstone mod, and a Tunze 6025 nanostream
Full tank shot:

Random shots:






And one more to show the tank and stand ( not for tank of the month submission):
