I think some might call it a pico cube or the like, tank volume is .97 gallons.
Inhabitants are so far:
1 black nassarius snail (not sure what type)
What I think is called sawblade macro algae (id would be welcome)
A few small lumps of live rock
a zoo rock I got from Samiam
Water changes are performed twice a week, about a cup of water, done right after feeding time. Accomplished with a short bit of airline tubing and a taco cabana cup as the receptical. :) I have to top off about 1mm of water every morning and evening. There is no need for a heater as the building is maintained between 74 and 78 24/7 365. I am using the natures ocean pre-made water for now (it is handy) but will probably start mixing oceanic in the jug and brining it back in when it runs out.
There is a small filter running on it, you can see part of it in one of the pics. It runs a ciber pad and a pad that is supposed to 'carbon' somehow... it moves the water anyhow. :)
Lighting is accomplished with the included 7.5K power compact. So far the zoos seem to love it. Photo period varies with my schedule now, I haven't had a chance to put it on a timer.
Future plans for stocking include: 2 Dwarf zebra hermits, and a sexy shrimp. Any more than that and I may be pushing it I think, heck, that may be pushing it.
Goals for the nano cube?
To keep me from stressing out in a very stressful job, and to help draw my eye to the smaller life I hope will crop up in this tank. I am planning on buying some Miracle Mud, which i recently read a review on in CORAL, for my new 115, I may add a thimbul full of it to this tank, as it is supposed to add an incredible amount of diversity to the tank.
Well, here ya go, sorry if the formatting is bad, I did rip them down from their original 2 MB to just over 300K.
