Hey Starting to go to the dark side(I'm a freshwater person) and I'd like to see pictures and maybe gallons of Nanos. Smallest to largest and still being a nano. I'm not starting one YET but research research research first. Thanks N8
Anyone Have pictures of their Nano??
- Thread starter N8DOGG
- Start date
I'll try some time this week to get some pics of mine.
I just got my mantis so once he starts coming out ill get some pics

Here's the 20 in its full glory. Moved everyone into the 90 when it was set up in September.
I still have a little 10 with some mushrooms, set up for the mantis shrimp that came in with the LR.

thanks, I guess a better question is what is a good size for a nano? Can you put any fish into a 10?
I'd strongly advise against a nano as your first jaunt into reef keeping, regardless of how much research you doN8DOGG said:
I wasn't saying I was going to start with a 10 gallon ust wanted to know if is was possible to keep a fish or 2.geoffgarcia said:
and why shouldn't a nano be the first??
in a 10 gallon nano you should be able to keep 1 or possibly 2 small fish assuming your very diligent with your maintenance and water quality.
I believe tanks up to 30gallons are considered nanos in the reef world.
Nanos require more fine tuning than a larger tank.
A small amonia/nitrite/nitrate change from the death of a fish, crab, snail, or whatever will not make any difference in a large tank, it'll be a minor blip, but in a tiny tank it will have a huge impact and could throw things out of whack quite quickly. Not to mention the impact of evaporation, typically inferior filtration devices on smaller tanks, etc...

thanks, I will have a 55, 29 and 2 tens once I get my other tank up and running. I'm not planing on anything yet. I would also have a sump so really if I were to use the 10's one would be the tank and the other the sump. And I wasn't thinking of adding more than one or two small clowns anyway no matter what tank I start with.
and as my first post I'm looking for pictures and gallon sizes not really asking for any real info YET but thank you for your input. Keep the pictures coming.
