As a sidenote, if they don't respond to the 96 watts, it's up to a small MH but I'll have to find a way to get that past the purchasing committee (spouse) without witnessing a 'hissy fit'.

Absolutely beautiful! It's going to be a model for the 10 gal. nano I'm starting this summer. Please, keep the pictures coming. And that fox coral is great! How long has it been in there, and how fast has it been growing? I really want one but am not sure if 2 15 W PC bulbs will be intense enough. Trust me, if I had a spouse who created something that nice, NOT getting a small MH upgrade would be more likely to produce a fit!

That is a great looking nano! Looks like you've done your homework and stocked it responsibly and it's paying off. Good job!

In a few months once everything starts growing out of the water, you'll be just about ready for an upgrade!

Covenant - The one thing I don't have that I desparately wish I did was a picture of the fox when I first got it. The change in it has been nothing short of remarkable. I normally take 'mugshots' of the corals I get as they enter the tank. Here is a before/after of my gsp's that show you what I'm talking about:

MrSandman - please Lord no. I can't handle an upgrade (and why is it I am scoping out larger tanks when I go to my lfs's lately. Must ... control .... reef .... urges ....
