Nate's 9g nano

Small photo update as it's been two weeks.

The Grape Caulerpa is filling in the back right nicely. There's now about 20 Cerith snails and 6 Nassarius in the tank, along with the two crabs. Once I get the temperature probe for the Apex, I'll decide which corals are best for the tank. Also I'm thinking about pulling the filter out soon.

Finally have the temp probe in, just trying to get the email/txt alarm to work. I started out thinking a favia tank, but it's turning back to one my favorites, the chalice. The Grape Caulerpa will be running through the tank and rising up. Here's the new addition, I'm not sure if the eyes will stay the same current color or go back to pink.

One problem I ran into is the length of the sweepers on what was the main favia piece. Not a huge deal but when the tank is only 13" wide it makes a difference I've found. Since running into acquiring a Goniastrea palauensis, I like them just a bit more because of no sweepers and in the right conditions they'll inflate and double in size.

Anyway to raise the chalice a bit above the Favias? Sort of tabling like?

Could but the chalices might get too much light, right now there 9" from the light.

Dang man! I hate to see you have to GIVE me those Favias just so you can have an awesome chalice tank :) LOL

Very cool corals to choose from. It will be interesting to see what you decide on.
