    Default My Bedroom Nano

    hi all,
    it's been a while since i've been on here but i'm back......and i've set a nano up in my bedroom! still got the 5ft'er downstairs but the nano is so i can have some corals that wont be nipped by the angelfish!
    It's 12x8x8 and is lit by 4 GU10 3x1w LED bulbs.
    here's some pics:

    I've ordered some more lights including an extra blue one, a 9w white one and a couple of 4w white ones, the green zoa's look fluorescent under the blues

    Not got any fish or critters in at the moment, except a few brittle stars off the rock, but i'm thinking of a goby/pistol shrimp pair and maybe a cleaner shrimp or something, or some sort of crab. I'll get some small hermits and snails for clean up crew aswell.

    Currently it just has a hang on filter with the heater and LR rubble in it with the floss/carbon sheets that slide in. Might add a small 200 l/h powerhead to the main tank but not sure if i need it or not.

    Let me know what you think!

    cheers
    steve
