Here are the pics of the tank. I went to village today and got some stuff... what i got today was a pair of rainford gobies, a small queen conch, very small emerald crab, and two nassarius snails (sp?)

I really like those kind of gobies I have one in my 30 now. Glad to see the stuff is opening up in the tank also

Man I so forgot to take some pictures....

But today I went ahead and did a few mods on the nano...

I notice that the tempature fluxation on the tank would swing between 80 and 85 so I had to do a few changes. With the advice of SeanB and Niko5 I went ahead and bought some new fans:

Sunon 50x50x10mm rated at 13.3CFM, 32dBA, 5500RPM. (Purchased at Fry's since they were the only place I could find them localy prics 7.99)

Not sure what the stock was rated at because it didn't say.

Anyway besides that I rearrange some of the wiring, ported out some slits and cut off a 3" piece of the reflector to allow more air to flow to the back side of the modifed reflector that Sean and Nick worked on.

With this simple mod I have noticed a difference between the stock and new fans. Hopefully this will help with some of the heating problems. If not I will have to think about something else.

Well have a happy Thanksgiving all... I will post more updates along the way.

Mike


Something I thought to be funny....

Mike, the tank is looking great. I am going to have to get me some of those fans. I am not sure how I am going to retro them into my pico, but it has to be done. Keep the pics coming.

Thanks for the comments.

Uhhh.... man I am surprised myself...

Well I have as cleaners:

1-astrea snail
3-margarita snails
1-cowrie
1-emerald crab
5 or 6-blue leg hermits

and probly other things I have no idea I have. I also do about a 1G water change every week, since I do not have a skimmer or surface skimmer so I try to get that out as much as I can. I do find myself cleaning the glass almost everyday... just a habbit.
