I really wanted a nano full of rock flowers and I had an ugly invert quarantine tank in the kitchen so I converted it. Now its an invert quarantine that will be pretty to look at :D.

So far I am planning a GSP back wall and I will get a rock flower only if I really like it. My LFS gets in really nice ones now and again so I am getting all my nems there.

I added 3 sexy shrimp and I might do a pom pom crab in the future. I am not sure what other fun inverts I will add.

I tried using a powerhead but the ato pump is so strong I took the powerhead out.

Added more shrimp so a total of 5 shrimp now. I found a second rock flower I liked. Of course it walked to the backside of the tank. Lol! Oh well, thats why the tank is low so its easy to look down and in.

It's fun to watch the shrimps chase down pellets and they really love dancing on the nems.

I added a couple more rockflowers and the GSP is finally starting to grow up the wall. So far the tank has been incredibly easy to care for. It's super stress free and fun. I drop 3 sinking pellets a day for the shrimp and zombie snails. And direct feed the anemones rods food once a week. The tank is really bright and colorful under the lights. It's my favorite tank right now. I only wish I could put clowns in it but then I couldn't keep the cool shrimp.

One of my LFS guys said they always end up putting their sexy shrimp into the sumps for all eternity. It's a shame because they are interesting when housed bythemselves.
