Default MY new nano

After fighting with one of my local LFS that took my payment for a 6 gal JBJ nano deluxe that they were going to be shipping in. I finally got it but it was all busted up during the shipping. I decided to opt out of that tank and save me the approx $110 after taxes on it. I went to Walmart and bought this 2.5 gal tank. Let's see how it works for me. I really wanted the JBJ nano. Ohh well this one I can actually keep near my bed. First thing that was done to the tank was to paint the backdrop a royal blue. I also added Livesand from my 55 gal thank that is almost done cycling in it. It's a combination of Light blue, dark blue, black sand, and white argonite sand. The hang on filter is for 5-10 gals tank and it come with an 18 watt incandesant bulb (prob will change with a hello light bulb/ballast). But here's a perliminary photo.

Your nano looks good. Keep us updated on the progress.

That sucks that your JBJ nano didn't work out.

ohh well. This one cost me only 25 so that's more money to invest in the tank.

Here's an update of the tank as of today. I have a mini green carpet, a mini green rose bud anemone, a dime sized linka and a anemone shrimp on some zoos. I also have some deep forest zoos that have not opened up yet, and some firecracker zoos that have not completely opened up yet also.

Thumbs up

Lookin' great so far.
Awesome green anemone, but watch out I think those grow pretty big.
Do your clowns host in it?
What kind of lights did you end up getting?
Nice photo of the anemone shrimp on the zoos. Almost didn't see it at first, it is almost invisible!

Yea they do, but so do the rose bud anemone. And no they're not hosting it yet. Hopefully they will. They've been eyeing it though. I got a jalli 18w pc top for it. What a difference it made.

Yea I know. Which is why I'm doing a 30-50% water change almost daily with my reef tank. I'm in the process of returning the pygmy angel to my lfs. Mean fish... Hate him yet love him. LOL

Did you take your angel back yet? I have thought about getting one for a long time but was concerned that it will not get along with my flame angel. Sorry to hear that yours was so mean.

Great coloration! Is it aggressive towards other fish?
