Scuba in a reef nano tank...

Mike that's beautiful! It makes me feel like I am back in the tropics! I'm excited to see your new little friend !

Thanks for that comment Kathy, I can only imagine the beauty you have seen in the tropics...

If you look closely you will see many native zoo's and trumpet corals that are indigenous to your diving sites...

I posted with the intent that many reefers here will remember their warm water reefing days...

You can see the colors are just amazing...

The colors in that last tank is REALLY amazing indeed

 

[mikeguerrero]

that is one of the coolest things i have seen in a loooong time!

Robin,

Thanks for your comment, that is a big praise for me... I value all the photos you have given us here on our California coast, I can only imagine what you will bring back from the tropics with your new gear...

Thanks a lot for that last picture, now you made me want to spend some money to go to the tropics again

Well,

If you don't spend the money to go to the tropics, pick up one of these bad boys and place it in your room... You will always have this beauty at your side..

This was my 90 gallon bowfront that I ran for several years...

Well, for some reason I doubt a tank n00b like me would be able to make it half that good, haha

Ahh be careful you are tempting me with the tropics! I was just deciding to spend my entire winter holiday month hanging out in Monterey and diving locally cause Mike Mills says I need to do 40 cold water dives before I'm allowed to run back to warm water

Humm SE Asia is whispering in my ear again now - thanks Mike!

Beautiful nano. It's impressive to see that many softies in a tank that small. How long was it running? How often were you changing your carbon?

I also am a reefer and have yet to read a success story of someone keeping that goby in a tank for more than a year at temperatures higher than 72f. I keep one of my seahorse tanks at about 70f and wouldn't put a Catalina Goby in that tank either because it runs at that constant temperature.

No wonder that little pico won, it's stunning.

Can I get one of those for my desk? I can't even keep a chia pet alive.

Wow Mike thanks for sharing. Really amazing, it must take a lot of patience and care.
