Thanks. :) I should call it my zoa salvage tank, really. Do you think I've got enough stuff crammed in there yet?

Thanks for the compliments, y'all. :)

I've found it is so much more difficult to aquascape in such a small space with very few rocks to work with. I have a couple of pieces of PVC pipe behind all that holding things up. I wanted flow to get in there and for a place for the serpent star and shrimp to hide. I found a sargasum shrimp when I was tearing down the other tank, and so I plopped it in there, and I think I have another one in one of my overflows......I'll put it in there, as well. Then my two cleaner shrimp and blood shrimp will go in there once I'm sure the nano is stable, as well as the serpent star. This will be my invert tank, I guess. I'm not planning on putting any fish in unless I feel that the zoas need it for nutrients or something. I guess I'll see how they do first with the lighting and dissolved nutrients from what I feed the euphyllias, shrimp and star.

If you wanted to add a fish you could put add something like a barnacle blenny. They are really small and very cool. Or you could get a small gobie like a watchman

No live sand in the filter, just that poly filter stuff. That's probably the white that you're seeing in there.

Those are AquaClears. I want to get a surface skimmer attachment for at least one of them to help clear the film at the surface. Can't believe I already have a film in there, but that's probably because I fed the euphyllias yesterday morning.

I'm glad you're enjoying them :)

On the nano I'm just using a 32 watt PC with one blue side and one white side. I'd like to add a single actinic so I can enjoy the colors under blue actinic light only, or change out the dual light and have one PC that's just white and add another that's just blue and then just keep the blue one on after the whites go out. I can't seem to find a 12" PC bulb that's just white or just blue, though. I'm obviously not looking in the right place.
