Now thats gonna be a tough one. She still doesnt understand the whole "fish eat fish" concept If I left it up to her it would be that "Cute tiny polka dot guy he's so small he wont bother anyone" hmmmm sorry hun no Panther Groupers in a reef.... "How bout the pretty fanny guy" nope hun no Lions either...

What type of lighting is it and how many watts ? What are the dimensions of the tank ?

It has one dual 10,000k 36 watt and one dual Actinic 36 watt PC's with remote ballasts plus 3 LED's 3/4 watt It also uses two 60mm fans when the 10,000k are turned on. The tank dimensions are 20.08" x 20.79" x 15.35" Height with hood is 19.03" Glass is 6mm 29.1 gallons Im not sure about the powerhead the spec sheet says 316 gph but I think I remember reading somewhere 240gph which is kinda weak . Seems to move the water well though so....

LOL.. your GF sounds just like my oldest sister! I took her with me to a fish store once and she was picking out fish that 'matched' eachother LOL!

Very nice aquascaping. I was gonna buy that exact same tank but ended up with the 14 gallon instead. Looking good, makes me wish I would have went ahead and bought the bigger one instead....thanks for reminding me

very nice, and i have to agree wiht everyone. Most people's significant others do not agree with the money that it takes to really excel with this hobby. It is great that she is interested and up for bigger and better so u can have more fish.
I let my gf pick out fish and the names of them too, cuz the more they are interested the more you can get away with spending

great set up too, i have arches, its great seeing the fish swim in and ot of them . congrats on the new tank

i added an aqua c remora skimmer, should be great for a tank ur size

Ya I find I get much less static when I keep her involved in my hobbies... When I first started customizing my harley the first thing I did was let her pick out a more comfortable seat for when she rides with me...

I was seriously considering the Remora C skimmer I just dont have a clue if it will fit properly

Heres an update photo of my nano at 5 weeks.... cleaner crew did a good job so last night I added some yellow polyp, star polyp, mushrooms and a Zoa If you look above the main zoa colony you can see a frag I made myself... hope it lives!

lcstorc · 10-05-2006, 02:57 PM
