[owlbassboy]

ok guys so ive had a bit of a rescape and ive got lots of corals coming soon, mainly off craig but some from a non sponsor. heres a pic of the tank since the rescape and ill talk rcb into bringing stevies camera over when the corals arrive before we run it back up to him.

what you think guys

[stevie mc]

looking well m8 well have to get you a bigger tank do you want mine.lol

[owlbassboy]

wouldnt have the space for it lol i think im just gonna stick to being a nano keeper lol

[stevie mc]

thats it m8 you keep the tank ur happy with the bigger you go the more costly they are.

[RCB]

I'm sure a few portraits could be arranged,lol..

[owlbassboy]

woop woop now were talkin rcb lol

[RCB]

bring over all the cameras mate and see which does the best job....more flashes going than on that friggin xmas tree then,lol

[hellee66]

I think we should have a Nano section, i love my little Nano, best move i made and everyone who comes to my house loves it to. When i get my new fish in it will post some pics. I'm sure once you've got it looking how you want you'll be happy again. Like the new scaping to.
Helen
:D

[owlbassboy]

thanks for the kind words. nanos are definately under rated dont get me wrong i love big systems but some people out there just dont seem to understand that the same beauty can be created on a smaller level.

[Gal]

Nice looking setup love the urching he's a cracker is that the one off macca?

[owlbassboy]

thanks very much and yeh the urchin is from macca and so are the starfish that are in there. excellent stock from him i would highly recommend to anyone.

[RCB]

If you want a hand to re arrange a bit tomorrow to fit all the newbies in just give me a shout mate....once I get my own popped in and settled i'll happily pop over a run for a bit more rescaping,lol...
Mainly azoo gorgs coming here so won't take too long to get them settled

[owlbassboy]

Nice tank.

I love that Blue Knuckled Hermit!

[owlbassboy]

its a blue leg just mate i like the blue knuckles but wouldnt have one as most people i know with them say they just bulldoze through everything haha

[Tom Fenton]

Sorry about that, I much prefer the look of those to red legs.

[owlbassboy]

i like red legs and have a few of them too but the problem is they never come out so i rarely get to ever see them haha

[hellee66]

Looking good love the red bubble and the red zoas, i get my new fish tomorrow so i'll post some more pics of my nano when their settled in, been rearranging mine this morning but it looks no different lol, just can't seem to get the effect i want, like it to be more open but limited for space unless i chuck some rock out which i don't really want to do. Keep up the good work for all us Nano keepers :hurray:

[owlbassboy]

Thanks guys. Helen if your looking for inspiration go to the big American nano forum for a look through some amazin tanks. Wouldn't bother posting they tend to ignore uk reefers lol

[hellee66]

Thanks Owl do you have a link for the website so i can have a look.

[Tangman]

Nice stuff there Steve its about time you got a bigger tank m8. Twiggy

[CP Ocean]

do you have a nem in there?

[ROB]

Nice looking tank buddy just shows what you can do with a little un tank that is........

Reagards Rob.

[reefergeek]

Sorry i never commented earlier been having a nightmare with pcs not the police type lol, looks well but as Eric said you need a 7fter lol

[owlbassboy]

thanks yall!!!

eric you know ill never have a bigger tank, might go smaller though!!!!! nanos forever!

cp i did have a nem in there until it split and one walked to the tunze and the other just wouldnt settle, i had it for ages and it was coloured so nicely

[owlbassboy]

oh and my tank is now lit by these......

http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg126/owlbassboy/IMG-20110419-00117.jpg

[reefergeek]

Is that the ebay heatsink ? how is the arduino doing ?

[CP Ocean]

thanks yall!!!

eric you know ill never have a bigger tank, might go smaller though!!!!! nanos forever!

cp i did have a nem in there until it split and one walked to the tunze and the other just wouldnt settle, i had it for ages and it was coloured so nicely

ah ok, was it the RBT? I thought I saw a pic of a maxi-mini in some earlier photos, was probably just a mushroom lol, now where are my glasses

[owlbassboy]

oh yes sorry i do have 2 mini maxis chris, always forget about them when people ask about a nem lol.

yeah thats an ebay heatsink but i bought it from dazza on my site. the arduino wasnt keeping time there but its back to full working order......well apart from the screen i smashed lol

[CP Ocean]

how have you found the maxis, how big are they, have they moved about much?

[ShyTalk]

Yup looking nice there, i just added a mini maxi a couple of days ago, i fancy another one or two now though, a bit pricey though new this one i got was from a tank closedown so a real bargain at less than half price, liking the led upgrade too :-)

[owlbassboy]

the nems are great one is about 3-4 inches and the other is 5-6 inches they have moved very little, maybe an inch or 2 just to get their foot into a better hole.

thanks shytalk :)

[ray]

very nice nano indeed what size tank are you useing ?
