Jgraz's Custom 15"x15"x12" SPS Nano

I think a nice pair of designer clowns is a great idea. Simple, hardy and a nice pop of "unusual exotic" when you look at the tank.
 
Here's a few shots with all lights

I think a clam is gonna have to find its way in here also.

+1 on the clam John, should be a good addition to the nano.

I just got myself a Clam. I think it has became a new addicition. lol
 
Over the last few days I started moveing a few corals over. Only a few so for, still got a lot to move still. Here is a quick FTS.

I also got my first inhabitants today. Leander plumosus AKA Tozeuma Ghost Pipe Shrimp. Picked up 2 from ASR in PA. Very cool. Here they are acclimating. Bad pics, I'll get some better ones later under the lights.

Hoping that they will end up a pair.
 
Well I was hoping for some pics of these shrimp under the lights. But they ain't cooperating. They went right into hiding. All I've seen is a glimpse here and there. Maybe once they get settled.

Wow John. My first visit to this ToTT and you did a fantastic job from start to finish!

Really like the aquascape and if that's the sand you recommended to me, I think I'm going to be happy.

Only concern I had was I thought the MP-10 might be a lil low? Not that it would pick up sand but I think you'd get more surface circulation if you raised it a bit more. Of course I haven't seen it in action, so I could be wrong.

Anyway, great job man.
 
Well it's been a while since I updated this so I figured I'd close it out by saying the nano is gone and it has become a much needed frag tank instead.

Now I just need to move everything over.
 
Nice. Nice looking rack system. Great job. Im tieing in a 40B to the system this weekend for a frag tank. Just need to find a light.

Hey John, Looks good!!!

mind asking where you get those acrylic racks from? did you DIY?
 
Yeah DIY for now. Acrylic from lowes cut to size. The legs are threaded nylon rods and nuts to tie it all together. I was originally gonna do eggcrate but I'm not a big fan.

Lowes drilled those holes too or that was all your doing? sorry for the questions, just very interested. haha
 
The holes were all me. Not perfect but they came out pretty good. Drilling those is time consuming and painful on the arm/hand.
