    My tank will be a 10g nano reef, probably with some pretty easy corals, under 2x40w PC lighting. Right now, I am just starting the cycle. The inhabitants will probably be a Firefish, a Clown and a Goby.

    Here are some pics I took a couple days ago:

    After it settled, and sponge filters removed extra sand:

    With LR and LS added:

    There we go! Only pic I have of the setup until the batteries charge. Right now, there are 5 large peices of LR, and Play Sand mixed with white Live sand. The light is a 5600k lamp, so it's not very bright. Ordering PC's soon I believe biggrin.gif

    Check tommorow for more pics!

    Well I copied that all from P-fury, and on that site, there is a certain level of gayness required.

    Tonights Update (5/15/05):

    Ammo: 0.20
    Nitrites: 0.20
    Nitrates: 10.00
    pH: 8.3
    Temp: 76dF

    I added another peice of LR, then switched up my set up a bit. I wanted to maximize flow, while still providing the fish with a space to swim. I also tried to hide most of my equipment behind that ledge I made. Do you guys like it?

    With lights, powerheads, heater, tank, SW, sand, Live Sand and some Blue Legged Hermits, it comes up to:

    $ 230.00 CDN! (about $175.00US)

    I've got my connections! Being a forum junkie comes in handy! If it wasnt for the lights (2x40w PC's), that price would be $30 CDN.
