My 10g nano...

[Mr. Prototype]

It has only been up for roughly 3 weeks, maybe a little over. It mostly has corals but here is the stuff....

Base:

15 Lbs of LR
5 lbs of fake lavarock (seeding and added as filler)
cup of Live sand
White and black sand mixture

Inverts:

5 Blue Legged Hermits
1 Astrea Snail

I did have 5 Cerith snails but they got killed by my hermits SOOOO I am trading my grandma my blue legged in exchange for her ordering me 3 orange clawed and 5 astrea snails. I will soon get a skunk cleaner shrimp and 2 porcelain crabs.

Corals:

Pulsing Xenia
Kenya Tree
Purple/Green Ricordea
Purple Ricordea
Green Ricordea
Steal Blue Ricordea
Teal Blue Ricordea
Cup/Octopus Coral
15-20 Superman Mushrooms
Hairy mushroom
Lime Green Warty Colimorph
Spiny Orange Sea Rod

Equipment:

96 Watt CF 50/50 Acintic 10000K with moon light
30g Rated Powerhead (sweeping kind)
Stealth 100 Watt Heater

Probably going to lower lighting to 64 watts and pick up another powerhead (kind with the K that has magnet back). I am considering a Modified Skilter 250 or a 10g sump/fuge.

And here are the pictures!! Not bad for 3 weeks eh?

The tank is looking great! I like the different look of the black sand.

Thanks! I am sure you can tell what my favorite two corals in it are LOL! I am going to only add mushrooms and ricordea to it I think. I am trading some of the superman mushrooms and Pulsing Xenia and then I will only frag when I need to.

Tank looks great!

See if you can get hold of some trochus snails rather than the other species as they seem to be slightly hardier and if they die off in a smaller water volume you'll notice the effects on your water params sooner! Thats what ive done with my nano and not lost one yet in 8 months

Thanks for the advice! They didn't die, my hermits killed them. I am getting rid of the blue legged and getting orange clawed though and only 3 of them.
