Here is my 10 gallon AGA. It started out as a nano-cube, but that thing started leaking and pretty much sucked all around so I recently moved everything to this 10 gallon and upgraded lighting and flow. The 10 has been up about a month, and the nano-cube was up for about 5 months before.

Inhabitants:
Fighting conch
Barnicle Blenny
assorted cleaner snails
hitchhiker serpent starfish
numerous other hitchhikers
Crocea Clam
large feather duster

Corals:
Different color zoos
blue ric
Purple gorgonian
Lobophylia (i think)
pompom xenia
acropora humilis
green digitata
brown digitata
german blue digitata (brown, starting to color up)
Hitchhiker encrusting montipora

Specs:
10 gallon AGA
70watt 20k MH
2 minijet 606
1 AC500 HOB converted to fuge
(about 400 to 500 GPH total)
Surface skimmer attachment
Coralife skimmer
Coolworks chiller installed in fuge w/ controller
Custom canopy w/ 2 80mm fans (very silent)

Thanks everyone.

Jdubb: I will post a pic of the underside of the canopy tonight if possible. I actually have a frag of those red zoos, if you look at the clam pic, or the full tank shot, you can see them sitting just to the right of the clam. About 15-20 polyps I'm guessing.

Suver569: I'm using a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ10

Its pretty easy to use actually, I havent even read the manual.

Pone619/obarrera: I thought the fan vents were something a little different. At night it will even project the skull onto the wall.

Bickmade: your a gad and you owe Joy $10. hehaehaehhaehaeh

Using a piece of lexan acrylic that is housed between the cooling fans and the side brackets to filter out UV (its also not blowing over the water, thus I get less evaporation). I also have a 32w CSL retrofit and the stock nano-cube lighting that I might try to add to the canopy.
note to self: Next time, use sealent AFTER you paint.
