9 gallon cadlights aquascaping

[steph30]

Well, my tank arrived and I'm up and running :D I'm not completely pleased with my aquascaping, but it is a work in progress. Honestly, it's much harder to aquascape in a nano than in a bigger tank.

I love the cadlights tank, but I've already decided to upgrade my lighting to a 16" 70 watt HQI. I figure now, before I start adding anything, is the best time to upgrade my lighting.

Anyway, here is a pic of the new tank.

Thanks,
Stephanie

Looks nice!!! I run a 70watt halide over my 16"x14"x14" cube tank, and you wont regret the upgrade!!! Post more pics once you get some critters and corals in there. :)

Send me a PM if you're looking to get rid of those lights cheap...

You won't regret the MH, I just put a 175w over my 10g and everything looks awesome and is growing much better than the 80w I had before (which was still nice).

I haven't got the MH yet, but as soon as it comes in I'll send you a PM about the lights that are on there now.

Well, it's been a month and progress is slow but steady. Here's some updated pics.
