Thought I better put some pictures up of my tank. Started smaller and worked my way up. Its been a fun tank to mess with. Feel free to ask any questions and I can try to answer. This was my first attempt at a nano reef! Up and running for about 5 months now and seems to be doing well!

Its a little murky due to adding some rock work and I also broke up a 6 head toadstool and placed those around.

Did a slight upgrade to lighting to help with growth. I took out the factory LEDs and replaced with a Compact Fluorescent light and supplemented by 4 deep blue led strips. Pictures really don't do the colors justice.

Just using flow, rock and water changes. Working good so far. Levels stay OK. Had to remove the stock filter to change out lighting. Sooooo verdict is still out on running with no filter.
