I have a 10 gallon in the kitchen
This may need its own thread, but I'd be interested to see how the nanos are set up. For example what size tank, lighting, and more important filtration and skimming on such small system. Kind of a Nano 101 so to speak. I'd love to have one here at work.

My current tank is a 20 gallon.
I have a 12 gallon here at the house.
It's an (older) CPR all-in-one (almost a cube) tank, with a removable skimmer in a section built into the back and a hood with 45 watts of PC lighting.
Has 18lbs or so of LR.
A few mushrooms / zoas.
Lots of shrimp.
No fish, although I'm looking for the right (shrimp) goby.
Also have another one of these that I'm modding.
Current plan is to put a 70w MH fixture on it and use it for a small anemone with the pair of Tomato Clowns that have been living in my sump for months now.

I've got a 12g jbj nano-cube that's been somewhat neglected due to time spent on my larger tank.

I have a .75 at work and it have some zoas and 2 sexy shrimp in it. Right now I have 2 13WPC on it one 03 and one 50/50. I am planning on building a hood for it and putting a 70W MH 14k or 20k on it. I will try and remember to bring my camera to work one day

I've got the 6g nano I just posted pics of at work, and I just inherited my wife's 10g algea/aptasia farm, cause she decided she obviously isn't gonna take care of it. 
The 6g has an older, slightly modified skilter on the back. That's it's only filtration/water movement.
It's running with a single 32w 50/50 pc light.
The 10g has an AC 500 converted to a small fuge with a picolo skimmer crammed in there. I've got a coralife 96w quad lamp over it. No additional PH or anything in it. Right now this one has three large pieces of LR with a few mushrooms and zoos, and a couple leathers. The algae issue is almost completely under control, but the aiptasia are outta control, so I just threw a couple peppermint shimp in there to see if they'll go after them if I don't feed the tank at all. I think it'll be a good looking tank eventually, but right now it's not too exciting.

If you can, I'd love to see some pics of these to get a visual idea of how the whole thing is set up. If they're already posted in your other pics, don't worry about it. I'll look at them when I get home. For whatever reason, I can't view your pics from here at work.

I don't really have pics of it.
Basically there's a small hole drilled in the top center to put airline tubing/ airstone down into the skilter to help boost the 'skimming' function. This is of course attached to a small air pump. Near the top of the collection cup portion another hole is drilled with a bit of airline running to a collection jug in case it should overflow. (Remember this is at work.)
The intake tube was cut to attach a fluval or aquaclear surface skimmer attachment.
I'll see if I can borrow a friends camera and take some pics of it.

I have a 12 gallon JBJ Nano that I've had up and running since last November. It is my first reef tank.
I'm currently converting a 20-gallon tank to a reef tank. Thanks to some used equipment purchased from people on this board and a DIY mentality, I've been able to keep my costs down on this new venture. I hope to add water in the next week or two.

i have a 20L but im redoing it right now. it crashed and had a 90% die off for some reson. when my nitrates, trites, ammonia, and phosphates hit 0 every thing died. weird. so im taking this time to redo it. well i do have some zoas, a mushroom, saragasum fish, gulf shrimp, lawnmower bleeny and snails. I think i might have to much light so i migh put some screen over it to cut it down some.
i posted my progress in the DIY forum on my progress so far. im redoing every thing from the ground up. new tank and every thing.

Re-started my 20 gallon in January. It's pretty much complete now, just letting things grow out now.
It has a 10 gallon sump/refuge, and a DIY skimmer with DIY overflow.
All sps w/ one dragon pipefish that I never feed.
