|  Worlds Smallest Nano Ive been thinking about trying a nano reef setup and I went to my LFS to look ask some questions about live rock when I saw a new display that they had set up. It has to be the worlds smallest nano reef. It was about 3 inches deep and 4 inches wide by 4 inches long. It had what looked like an itty bitty desk lamp attatchment for light and a baby HOB filter. Inside was 1/2 lb. of live sand, pound of live rock and some sort of shrimp. I thought it was kinda silly and neat at the same time. They wanted 65 bucks for it. I am gonna go back tomarrow and see if they will let me take a picture of it, plus I just want to look at it again.

| I just did a search for nano cube to see if that was the name of it. Nope that wasnt it, the nano cube is 12 gallons this wasnt even one gallon. This thing probably couldnt hold 6 golf balls. I am really going to have to go tank a picture of it tomarrow.... I am gonna feel really stupid doin it though

| I have seen those little things, I have never seen one with a heater in it, Im not even sure you could find a heater that would fit in these things. They are impressive little things though, but I dont really know what you could keep stable in there other than a GS an a snail or two. Your talking about these little things right??  |

| lol the nano cube i'm talking about is made by Red Sea, and it's only like half a gallon. that picture is one of the nano cube. they come in all different colours, and there is even one smaller than that, but it doesn't come with a filter or light. Tim

| Yea thats it  Sorry tim I thought you were taking about the JBJ Nano Cube . Its a cool idea but it didnt look very impressive in the store Just imagine one small live rock and some sand, no color or activity. But on the good side I bet a partial water change takes like 2 seconds

| We have a 2 gal or so tank and I thought my daughter would want to try a little saltwater experiment, but I've had problems finding information on a SW tank that small. I thought seahorses could be fun, but they need big tanks even if they are the small seahorses. Oh well. Maybe just for small guppies after all. BTW where are all the threads that are supposed to be on this forum? there are 3 and the main page says there's a bunch.

| Click the last pull down menu on the bottom and tell it display older threads. I am pretty sure you could only keep snails and some shrimp in tanks that small.

| shrimp could be nice. Any web sites out there to help with small tanks. Can you use a sponge filter with SW? Cycling the same as FW? Lots of dumb questions, but I haven't found them answered anywhere for really small tanks. I have looked... ***oops wrong. I looked at the old threads here and found a link to nano-reef.com and found this half gallon... http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/show...threadid=24236 Very interesting. No instructions about how to DO it, but very interesting. So I'll poke around that site and look at the old posts here and maybe I'll figure this out.
