Looks nice. I like the fact that nano tanks allow you to make almost vertical rock walls that get to the top of the tank really easily. In bigger tanks it takes so much more rock to get the look you can get from a nano.

Oh yeah, nice sig, got me to laugh

Sulp,

Your aquascapping looks great, you have given yourself plenty of spots to place your corals. Go slowly since it's so easy to quickly run out of real estate. So you want to market high the spots you have.

Hope this sheds some light.

Looken good. I like how it looks like a solid wall of rock in there yet plenty of caves and cracks and spots to put corals.

I occassionaly feed the Candy Cane some brine shrimp mixed with a few drops of Marine Life w/ Cyclopeeze. The Cansy Cane loves it! As soon as I put it on him, his mouth opens and gobbles it up. It gets kinda frustrating though because my Fire Shrimp and my peppermint always lay in wait ready to steal every last morsel so I have to pay attention and swoosh them away with my turkey baster until the coral gets a good grip on trhe food. I am going to get a strawberry basket to cover the coral when it is eating to protect it from the greedy shrimp. To answer your question I feed it once every two weeks or so. I heard if you feed it on a regular basis (weekly or bi-weekly) it will really grow quick.

Actually, the pic doesn't really do the tank justice. There is some vertical space but the middle is actually a tunnel that extends almost to the front of the tank. If you look at the sand you can get an idea of the depth. There is a nice ledge (the roof of the tunnel) that I am going to use as my focal point of the tank with a special nice coral that I haven't decided on yet. Thanks for the feedback!

My newest addition....Agreopora

This is my newest addition. I love this coral! The color under my Actinics is amazing. I know this coral can be tough but I'm hoping it does well.
