The next few pictures are from the Nano Cluster. This was a section in the Vendor's area where 4 Nano reefs were set up and were just beautiful. And as I was editing the pictures, it occured to me how clean the water was in those tanks. You've seen a few pictures of the larger reefs that were still somewhat cloudy since the tanks were barely set up before the conference began. So I have to give it to the manufacturers' tiny filtration compartments. As far as I know, all of these were raffle prizes.

This tank had four different gorgonians in it, and I loved that. I've never really tried to keep them before, but after seeing these, I may give it a shot.

This one is my favorite, hands down. I've seen it at a LFS in Dallas (Fish Gallery) and they were feeding that tank Cyclop-Eeze all day long. LOL

This is the 178g reef raffle prize. I really liked it, probably because itw as brand new and had 25 adorable clownfish in it. I love tanks full of clowns. Sorry about the crappy picture.

The stand had a pressure switch behind the door. When you opened it, a light came on over the equipment. How handy is that? Here's the sump.

The cute little red return pump. Anyone know what brand that is, and how many GPH?

Some goodies.

The canopy was heavy, but had these nice locking hinges.

And the lights were pretty good looking. Coralife - I found it interesting that it was using PC bulbs to supplement actinic blue. It just seems like PCs are usually pushed aside for T5 bulbs. When I had PCs over my 29g, everyone told me it wasn't enough light and that was a long time ago.

This is what I brought home with me. I didn't bother with livestock, and only wanted certain things.
