Nate's 3g Nano

[nate_newton]

My update for 3/11
The blue sympodium was removed and placed back in the main tank. The reason it was removed is so that I could add a 4"x3" Montipora that I acquired months ago and has been healing from a severe nudibranch attack. It will either stay this color or at sometime it will go to a rainbow like before when the LFS first received it. I'll probably put a chalice in there and maybe another sps.

My update for 3/19
Everything is growing good. The birds of paradise is very green and is now showing the long polyp extension. I have added a pocillopora frag at the top left center, and my own green razzleberry chalice just to the left of the birds of paradise.

Most of corals here are frags from my own colonies. My total spending is $215, I only spent $45 to stock the tank and fragged the rest. The tank measure's 11"x8.5"x7", less than 3 gallons of water volume. There is zero filtration, just circulation. It contains a variety of corals; birdsnests, acro, montipora's, pocillopora, chalice, acans, zoas, and a paly. It's inhabitants are amphipods and a variety of mini starfish.
