| Re: Check my Tank out.... the tank seems to be off to a good start, I would think about setting my rocks up a so they will have crevices, and hiding spots for shy fish that you may put in your tank, remember that all fish are territorial, this will benefit your fish and your rocks will have a more natural reef look. |

| Re: Check my Tank out.... That REALLY improves things in there. There's not even anything living in there, yet and it already looks great.

| Re: Check my Tank out.... there is a HQI lighting system that is designed to fit on nanos that are 70w and 150w 14,000k kind of pricy $169 for the 70w but lets you add anything you want. |

| Re: Check my Tank out.... nanos are hrd on anenomes for the lighting keep a close eye on it three weeks is not that long and you may still get spikes until everything is added in. |

| Re: Check my Tank out.... you really shouldnt add an anemone until your tank is a bit mature (6months or so), they require pristine water conditions and at least moderate lighting (T5/MH) Please take your time with all of this or your gonna be really upset when the tank crashes, dont get mad and think I'm trying to put you down or something, I just dont wanna see you waste your $$$ or kill innocent creatures.... |

| Re: Check my Tank out.... Did he add the anenome himself or did it grow on it's own? (Sorry if that's a newb question.)
