Apologies for the dodgy description in the title. I picked up this little frag a while ago. I haven't been able to figure out what it is. The polyps (presumably) can open from little mounds (as seen on left of pic 4) into roughly circular discs. There doesn't appear to be any "mouth" to the...

Yes, I do have to think about a stand or holder. The wooden holder is a pretty good one, but I'd like a stand running up behind it also. I've been watching this pink thing grow out of the rocks lately. Not sure exactly what it is - like most of the things in the tank! I've been noticing a bit...

Slightly offtopic, but I see references to "silversides" quite often. Around here, Silverside would be some form of salted beef - is that what everyone else means too? I'd feel a bit silly feeding a chunk of cow to an anenome only to find out silversides are small fish or something!

HI Brandon, Thanks for the comments, as usual. The pics above were taken with a Nikon Coolpix 5000. It has a useful macro feature of being able to focus a point about 2 cm from the front of the lens which allows some pretty good closeups. Typcial of most digicams though, it is a nightmare to...

Yeah, sort of. I made an array of 10 x 3 leds, with each group of 3 consisting of 2 white and 1 blue. I wasn't happy with the brightness though. I need to steal the camera from work again to take some photos. Actually, the tank is completely unlit at the moment, with the exception of some...

Yeah, the the first pic I posted at the top of the thread probably makes it look bigger than it is. The tubing starts at the powerhead and wraps around the perimeter of the tank ending back under the powerhead, raising it a little out of the sand. I found that it was quite hard to bend the 13...

Ok, got some water, live rock, aragonite and a pump now. Water is NSW (no, not New South Wales) bought from (not-so-)LFS. LEDs have arrived, and are waiting for me to insert them into some sort of hood. Just have to decide on a power supply for them. Currently there is a Rio 600 attached to...

The stability of the tank has crossed my mind as well. Especially with some rock piled up on one side. I am planning on having a brace behind it that it can rest against. It is a bit more stable at the moment as it has about 10 cm of aragonite in it. Chris.

Where do you think I got the idea from! Chris.

Hi, You guys have inspired me to give this nano thing a go. Picture below is a vase type container purchased from Freedom (bit like Ikea, if you don't know). It is 30 cm high with a 15 cm diameter (12", ID 6"). My calculations say this is 5.4 L. Conversion to gallons is left as an excercise...
