Mallorie and Matt's Nano in 90 Build Thread!

Birdsnest is doing great. Rainbow monti, still looking pretty bad. I put it in the 20 because it looked bad in the 120 so I don't know if I should add it to the total for coral? I was going to add it after it started healing but stupid me put it in too bright light in the 20 and it bleached in some places. :(
 
He was given a video tryout to the Tampa Bay Bucs for kicker. :)
 
So hopefully I will get home and my rock order will be in! :D Can't wait to put my aquascape together. It's crappy being poor and doing this little by little. The good news is that I have lots of extra corals in the 120 that I will be moving into this tank so my coral investment is minimal. I will likely be spending a big chunk of money on a pair of platinum clowns or something cool like that. :) I may also add a small flasher wrasse if I think there is room. I may actually just add one clown and put the smaller of the pair in with my lonely female in the 120. The tail spot blenny is mighty happy since I added an algae clip with nori. She is still thin as far as needing some weight but her gut is nice and full now because of the nori and extra feedings I've been giving her. It's just so difficult for her to find food because I added a huge CUC (John at reef cleaners sent me a TON of snails) and the nutrients are so minimal in the tank that there's not even much glass algae for her to eat. So, nori it is and hopefully once I put some rock in, she will have more things to clean. :D
 
Happy to hear the tail spot is doing better. Look forward to seeing how the new aquascape is going to look when you get the rock in.

Mallorie, I wouldn't suggest you to get a flasher because your tank is rather shallow. I had tried flasher numerous time in my 180 and they still jump out for no reason. Just hate to see you find out a dry fish on the floor. My 2 cents. Look forward to see your rocks tho.
 
Thanks for the concern. I have a flasher in my 120 with no problem but I have a top. :) If I did a flasher, I would make a top.
 
I've been so busy I haven't been able to update this! :(

OK! IT'S FRIDAY! WOOT! I pinky promise to everyone I will get an update by tomorrow at the latest. I have been swamped at work and come home exhausted. So, I will get some pictures of the new rock work, which is getting covered in diatoms as we speak. I did a 5 gallon WC Wednesday. Still slowly getting that salinity up. I am aiming for 1.025.5 so when it evaporates it doesn't get over 1.026.
 
Mallorie, we're looking forward to seeing that update w/pics tomorrow! :bigsmile:

I have to DQ myself because of an unexpected move. I have to take down the tank and move it. :(
 
Hope everything works out for you and you can get this tank back up and running someday!
 
So sorry to hear this Mallorie!
