I want to see your nano tanks. Post you 10 gallon or less nano tanks here.
I want to see planted nanos, reef nanos, invert nanos, shell dweller nanos, any type or nano 10 gallons or less.

I recently bought a 4 gallon tank from my local Hospice Thrift Store. They recently opened a new store and I wanted to support my local Hospice league and start on a nano tank. They do so much for people in their time of need and I thank them.

Right now I have 1 Clown Loach in this tank. I got this guy from a friend. He is really thin and I am treating him for parasites. After a few weeks he will be going into my planted 55 with 9 other CLs.

Tank dimensions are 9x12x9. I am running a Aqua Clear 20 HOB filter right now. The tank did not come with a light. Does any know of a good high quality nano light that I could use for a planted tank and also be converted to use on a reef nano setup? I do not like the looks of the clip on lights that much. I would prefer some thing that goes across the top of the tank or is raised off the tank.

So show me your nano tanks.

Very cool! My house is loaded with tiny tanks, most ugly some pretty. I'll try to get a few shots soon.
 
clown loach = big no-no.

but here's my shelldweller tank from like forever ago (not really just a few months, but looking back now, there's a lot of things that have changed, so i should really do an update on my tank journal: http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=357075 )

Yes update. I like the tank.
Yeah the CL will be gone in a few weeks after I am sure its parasites are all gone. Its really thin right now and would not make it my tank. Nor would I think of putting him in there with out quarantine.

Sure if you got them post them
 
And I agree with the OP for quarantining the CL. I wouldn't have used a tank of these dimensions, but it's temporary.
 
That Tank is awesome. I want one lol
 
A close friend has well set up 10 gal tank on his not so big space but it is well decorated with colorful fish, will post soon..
