Well today I finally got some pictures of my 5.5g Nano at work because I got a new cell phone that has a camera on it. The pictures are a little blurry but it's the best I can do being that close.

For the equipment, I have 2x32watt PC lights with individual reflectors, 2" cooling fan, Rio 90 power head, and an old heater we had laying around the shop. For live rock, its mostly fiji but not sure how many pounds since I took it out of the holding tank and right into my nano. Sand was also taken from the holding tank, and used natural sea water and allready have coraline algae starting to grow everywhere and it hasn't been a month yet.

Right now it has some turbo snails and blue leg hermits. For corals I have 2 different color morphs of zoanthids, an orange ricordia, GSP, candy cane, hydnopora, meralina (sp?) german orange digitata, brown digitata, bali slimer, miami orchid, stylopora, pocilipora, green millipora, blue millipora, tri-color, staghorn, echinata plus a few I can't rememver the names of.

Calcium was at 425 today
Alkalinity was at 3.2
Nitrate was at < 1, I couldn't even see any color at all in the test tube
Temp is stable at 77* to 77.8* :bum:

Well here's some pictures, let me know what you think.

Thanks, I made the stand and canopy. Got some 1x4 poplar wood from home depot and went to town with a miter saw. After that I stained it with oak stain.
