My Reef Aquarium
This is a picture of my 29 gallon (nano) reef aquarium that I started last Summer. It has been really fun to watch the active and interesting life forms that now call my office their home. I'll attach a few pictures for you to enjoy. Hope you like them as much as I enjoy photographing them.

Steven, that is fantastic!
You've done a wonderful job with it! 
Is there a lot of work involved in that? |

There is a lot of work initially depending on how you decide to set it up. It can be fairly easy too. Took me several months of studying and planning, mostly to make sure that the system would not overflow at and after a power failure ( a wifey requirement ). It IS expensive though. No one thing is particularly expensive, but all together..........

Steven,
That is a killer setup! How big is your sump and are you using a refugium? I also love that first Zoa you posted, its colors are amazing! Im also curious about that clownfish. Is that an occelaris with an all orange color morph? Also, Im curious about the object (live rock with anemones?) in the middle/top part of the tank that is seen in the pic of the whole tank. What is that? Overall, Im really impressed with that setup! Congrats!
I just set up a 55 gallon at the beginning of December and set up a 12 gallon nano yesterday! Any tips on the nano care? I know the smaller the tank, the tougher it is to care for.

Your tanks and pictures are just gorgeous!!  I love salt water tanks and would love to have one, but I have trouble enough dealing with my freshwater one.
