My new & truly nano tank!

[FuEl]

Have finally got things moving after I sort of procrastinated for some time. After clearing my old tank I kind of felt tired and was wondering if I should continue reefing. Oh well...even if it's for a few months it would do as long as I have something to keep myself motivated. And here...I present...my nano display tank! Still not tested for leaks & piping not done...I'm such a bum.. 6mm glass throughout with 2 inch side bracings. Dimensions of my this tank is 2ft (length) by 1.5ft (width) by height (9 inch). Yes it is 9 inches tall! I thought of going 7 inch..but oh well..added 2 more inch as safety factor. Lighting pictured is done by Dr evil with 4 Aquaz blue pro tubes. Definitely very bright as it managed to light up my whole living room at night. I don't even need room lights on anymore! Still have to get my sump. I'm still pondering if I should add a piece of mirror under it and go substrateless... Oh well...enough of blabbering..here's the tank. It will be a challenge to aquascape...

tts what i cal a nano fishless?

[scarab]

Hey bro,

Welcome back. Look forward to see your tank pix.

Should be going fishless for the first 2-4 weeks depending on how stable the environment will be. Considering NSW but not sure if it would really help to stabilise the tank. I was thinking of keeping a pet ribbon eel... But that would have to wait till my tank stabilizes. A ribbon eel slithering through miniature sps garden... Maybe it won't last..my tank is not covered and what if the ribbon eel goes into my overflow..or worse onto the floor.. *stops myself from thinking about fish*

Ribbon eel... Hehe.... One of the weirdest tank dimension i ever seen... Hehe... No DSB huh... Or in the sump....

[FuEl]

Will do an update maybe tomorrow or few days later. Don't wish this to turn into a chat thread.
