Lights! Camera....

Now for the lights.

55G progress

It has been a busy 3 months. I have invested in an RO/DI system from thefilterguys.biz OCEAN REEF + 1 FIVE STAGE 75 GPD RO/DI. It has been great not haveing to lug water from the LFS for the nano. However my waterpressure is only at 30psi so The system is slow to make RO/DI. I am going to have to invest in a booster pump at some point but that can wait until after the new tank is up and running.

55g Acrylic tank

So a friend of mine gave me this tank. She has several freshwater tanks but has always been inimidated by saltwater. So loves my little nano so she decided to give me this tank

I have some updating to do!

Right now I have built 2 inch tile risers for the light fixture. The lamps have a glass shield and two fans in the hood. One that blow into the hood while the other one blows out.
I will keep a close eye on it and raise the tile legs if I need too.

If my hands ever allow me to be able to make some of the live rock I am going to try it just for the heck of it.

Anyway enough of that, thanks for the link, they have some pretty cool rocks
