dixie_reefer's better late than never "nano in 90"

[Dixie_reefer]

Looking good, and so simple.

Is it just a standard 10G glass aquarium? What's the light? Would you mind posting a FES? Oh, and is the black and white fish a saltwater-adapted molly?

What is a fes? It is a standard 10, light Aquarium Clip On LED Light from $34.90 with 9 x 1W LED yes that is a balloon molly that I acclimated to saltwater. She started to bully my platinum clown so I moved her.

Maybe fts? Full tank shot?

What is a fes?

Full Equipment Shot. My understanding (perhaps wrong) is that a FTS (Full Tank Shot) shows what's in the tank. The FES would show what's around it, for example, the stand, light, HOB filter, etc. I think I picked up the term from another forum; it may not be in common use elsewhere. For your tank, I was interested in seeing the light because I have a 10g that is light-challenged and is nowhere near as nice as yours.

Stephanie, the tank has really come together nicely... Hopefully, we'll see some more growth in the next 3 weeks.

Here is your FES. It's an extremely simple setup. The light i have isn't the best, just what i had on hand. The tank in the background has a 4 bulb t5 unit on it and grows coral like crazy. I would recommend that one to you; got it at aquatraders for like $54. Send me a pm and i will send you the link for it.

Diatoms are almost gone, thank goodness! One bummer though, I had to remove my plate coral because my clown was picking at it. I really wanted to leave it in for the competition but the health of my livestock is more important.

My suncorals have produced 2 tiny babies. I will get a picture later.

The tank is looking GREAT!

Gotta love Clownfish, LOL, and glad to hear you moved the plate coral.

Awesome!

Here are 2 of the new polyps but there is at least one more on the other side.

Nice tank! Great job. Love the simplicity!
Have fun reefing!

Last tank update for the contest! It has gone by way too quickly. Everything is doing great! My sps have grown more than I thought they would have and my duncans and red purple eaters are exploding!

New tank inhabitant. Got sad about not being able to go to MACNA so I splurged a little.
