I never really thought it was possible to lose interest that quickly. Hmmm saltwater burnout.

i went and copped the rock today, i got 15 lbs

here go some shots;





all i got left to do is wait, wait, and wait until the tank is ready. thank God i learned that from my other tank....
plus i need to get my temp in check, the tank is hitting 86 and i cant find a reason... i know is not the MH cuz i have 2 fans on it and it doesnt even heat up the glass top or the bulb cover.

I have a 20g nano and the temperature in the room directly affects the temperature in my tank.One of the drawbacks to having nanos is that small amount of water is easily affected by outside temp,evaporation,and pollutions.As a friend of mine says,''the sollution to pollution is dillution''.The more water you have the more it takes to get it out of wack.
