Six Gallon Nano Reef Photos - on their own page.

My Nano Reef Blog - details about the entire process

The current inventory of this tank is below.

Equipment

• Six Gallon Nano Cube Reef Tank with single 18 W lamp
  
• Visitherm 25 W heater set to 75 degrees F
  
• Filter contains sponge, a mesh bag of carbon, and a small amount of RowaPhos in a mesh bag
  

This is where I got the tank:

Less than two weeks after I got the tank, the fans and fluorescent lights failed! Read Page 5 of my blog for details.

On 9/9/08, the replacement lid for the 6 gallon nano cube tank finally arrived! The mushroom coral was without light for 19 days! It took them 18 full days (11 business days) to ship what they said would take 7 to 10 days! It was not easy to get the lids switched out but I managed to do it. Now, I have to wait for algae to grow before getting any more animals and hope the lid does not fail again!

10 pound bag of Australian gold live sand
2 pounds of live rock - one 1 pound piece, one dead brain coral, one dead clam, and two smaller rocks moved from the 3 gallon tank

1 Tiny yellow polyp that was on a rock that originally had two mushroom corals I had gotten (the mushrooms died but I moved the rock to the 3 gallon tank and then this 6 gallon tank when I discovered it had a polyp on it.).

On 10/4/08, two nano coral packs arrived. From those, I added the following 12 corals:
1 Green Ricordia mushroom
1 Orange and purple Ricordia mushroom
1 Brown/purple with white spots mushroom
1 Brown/purple with blue spots mushroom
1 Brown mushroom
1 Green mushroom
1 Purple mushroom

Other Animals

1 Tube worm - feather duster-like worm that comes out of very long white tube on the dead clam.

Various small worms and bristleworms.

Fireworms - three removed so far; there may be more, at least one.

Plants and Algae

None yet aside from some diatoms and fuzzy short algae that came with the live rock from the 3 gallon tank. Some Caulerpa started growing on one of the rocks in late September.
