Conner's new Nano!

[flyingarmy]

I picked this up off Nano-Reef.com for a great price. It's a 12"X12"x12" Custom Cube. tank is 12x12X10. It's going into the nursery for Conner. It's only 7.8 GAL so I'll have some nice softies and one fish. Guess this will be the test nano for the 30 Finnex.

I thought about hanging the Nano over his crib, but the wife nix'ed that idea!

Naaa...keeping it simple! Plus I don't want to fry my boy's eyes with how much he'll stare at the tank!

 

[glxtrix]

You'll be known as the dad who only gave his son the PC lights....tisk tisk tisk. lol

 

[flyingarmy]

Hey don't knock PC's......my Zoa's love PC's. My SPS on the other hand....not so much!

 

[glxtrix]

Heh, yeah I can imagine.

 

[flyingarmy]

Correction...useable tank 12X8X12. 5GAL....Pico tank here I come!

or he could put the solaris over it and will be know as the dad who gave his son the solaris.

Give it a year or two and you'll have to put a lock on that tank!! Crayons, buttons, fuzz.. it'll all end up in it if Conner can reach it.

 

[flyingarmy]

It will be up on his dressor. Not accessible to anyone under 3 ft!

 

[raisingtwo2006]

Well, then I change my statement - 2 or 3 years

Chase was 36 inches tall at 2, and could scale mountains- (and dressers) .. When he started climbing things, we had to move his tank out of the room

 

[flyingarmy]

You right...a lock it shall be! I don't want a "red" party like the was in Columbus!

 

[raisingtwo2006]

There ya go!

No one needs a day like that was! Ugh!

 

[lorenk]

You've got room for at least two more bulbs in there

You will love the pico tank. I'm having a lot of fun with the one I got for my boy. It inherited all of the expensive zoas/palys from my large tank plus some nice acans and micros.

Stocking fish though is kind of rough. Small gobies are about it...either trima or clown gobies. Sexy shrimp are great to add though.

 

[flyingarmy]

I think a small clown goby would be perfect. But I need to find the "non-sexy" shrimp. I don't want to expose him to that sort of stereo type at this early of a stage of life!!
