Orca Nano Tank

[rabidric]

Well here it is. Our first venture into marine. Home to a clown, lined combtooth blenny, a citron clown goby and a neon goby, along with a pair of pom pom crabs, a couple of feeder shrimps, half a dozen soft coral things and the usual snails and bristleworms.

Hope you enjoy it we do.

Cheers

Very nice rabidric.

would love to go Marine. But seems more complicated and more work for marine tanks.

Nice tank.

Thanks for the comments. As said before it's taken a while and the last of the corals only went in on Saturday so aren't fully "awake" yet but starting to open up properly late last night. I'm going to carry on trying to take pictures of the inside of the tank but always seem to get so much reflection off the glass. Once I've mastered it I'll try some of the other tanks - just to bore you all some more.

Thanks again.

Looking good. I just set up the same tank about 4 weeks ago and it is very hard to get a good picture through it because of the bow front.

How are you finding the skimmer/pump on it? Mine is insanely loud and nothing I do seems to sort it out.

No the pumps not that noisy but the impeller went fairly early and guess what - yeah not covered by the guarantee!! The cooling fan in the lid has its moments but I think that's down to salt getting in. The pump to the skimmer is a copy of a Maxijet 900 I think it is, there's a good site on another forum where a guy called Dan takes you through repairs etc. I typed into Google Orca Nano Tank Spares I think and found it there.
Otherwise it runs well. Carry on enjoying yours.
