New to forum; Hello from Boston!

[alfiefive]

Newer to the hobby and living in downtown Boston.

I post a fair amount at nano-reef.com (http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=264711) and have been neglecting my regional reefer board. Consequently I thought I'd introduce myself!

Here are some pics of my tank, which is still cycling and currently quite hairy with GHA. It's an Ecoxotic EcoPico 5g nano with some tricked out LED strips.

Edit, shrinking pics some.

Anyways, HELLO!

Welcome!! Nice nano!

:w to the BRS.

How do you like the LEDs for the nano?

Sweet set up and welcome!

Thanks everyone for the welcome

I love them! I had three at first and needed to get two more strips. Having done that I don't think I'll need to spend any additional money on lighting. For a tank this size the lighting is unquestionably sufficient. They're also really cool-running. I think the hood is made of coated aluminum so it is never hot.

My brother's campus robotics lab is laser cutting some acrylic for me. I'm going to make an in-tank media basket that I can attach to the pump in the upper-left of the tank and stuff it with chaeto. Hopefully that will starve out some of the green hair algae that is EVERYWHERE at present.
