Nano Reef

My Nano is a Ten Gallon AGA. It has been setup since January 1, 2003. I have been either very lucky, or very successful. The only major loss was a peppermint shrimp that died only a couple of days after being added to the tank. My newest addition is a diamond watchman goby that I absolutely love. He digs in the sand constantly, and has made a burrow underneath each of the large rocks in the tank. Watching him dig through the sand bed is fascinating, although he is still a little bit shy, ducking into hiding if I come into the room too fast.

Inhabitants

Please note that all scientific names are educated guesses based on photographs and identifications used in the hobby. Identification of corals to the species level is very difficult, and can sometimes only be done by examining the skeleton.
