Hello all, it's been a while since I've updated with pics on my nano salt water reef tank. Anyways the coral I've had has grown up quite a bit. I also added some new fish. I don't have pics of all my latest changes but here are some for now.

The Neo Cube!

Alright so a week ago, I ordered this new 'toy' and it is called The Neo Cube. Basically it is just a bunch of spheres that are magnetic. Together they stick to each other and with that, you can form various shapes and designs with them, both 3D and 2D. It is actually quite fun to mess around with. The pics will give you a better understanding of what I'm talking about. More info can be found at http://www.theneocube.com/

LED Project

So I've decided to do a little project with some LEDs that I ordered. This was a board containing 22 LEDs that were spaced out and the wired in such a way that would also fit 22 resistors. This was my first time soldering so that's why it looks a bit messy. Overall, it lights up but I'm currently having problems getting it to stay lit. There is a connection that is loose so when I move the board, it flickers or turns off... Anyways, just wanted to share this randomness with everyone =]

Salty Beginning

Finally started my salt-water tank. Hopefully it'll work out just as my 2 fresh water tanks have worked out. This one is fairly small, less than a foot by a foot cube. Anyways, gotta let the water circulate and bacteria begin forming. More pics to come with fishes and coral!
