    So currently for livestock I have a Clown(came with tank), yellow watchman goby, and a mandarin which I am going to try my hardest to keep him fat and plump.  Then the typical clean up crew with lots of little hermits and 2 snails, also I have an Emerald crab and 2 peppermint shrimp. For corals I have a variety of polyps, toadstool, long polyp leather, green slimer, green ric, frogspawn, candycanes(recovering), random sponges and a spider sponge.  Now for the pics!

    Thanks Aaron! As for the Candy cane I am not sure what happened but I think it may be stress because it was constantly getting knocked over because of its size and not being able to get it stuck anywhere in the rock. I got some bone cutters and cut it into some smaller groups. I was just looking at it under the LEDs and it looks better and has some tentacles extending(hasnt been doing that lately)

    Well I picked up another Nano before Christmas and decided to use it for my main tank sense its a little bit larger in the display area.  Then decided I would build a stand to put both of them on.  Remember all of this is on a college students budget so the stand is not the best looking but is solid.  The Aquapod(right) will be used for my main tank for corals and such and the Nanocube(left) I am still undecided what I am doing with it.  Most likely going to put a frag rack on the back wall so I can use it partially as a frag tank.

    Wow. You're turning into the GIRS Nano King. Are those both JBJs? I can see the one on the left is, and I think the one on the right is too, but I can't tell for sure. Is the one on the left a six gallon? Any new pics of your corals?

    My original 12g Nanocube is on the left and the 12g Aquapod is to the right. I will get some new pics of corals when things get settled back in.
