Just realised my nano is one year old this month, I flicked through a few old photos and thought I'd show its evolution. Suprisingly I haven't played with the aquascape much at all, unusual for me, so its easy to see how much stuff has grown on the LR. I've had a few fish loses 
and several 'why bother, my tank sux' moments but I just have to put it all down to a learning experience.
January 2007 - Just set up, looking all neat and boring.
February 2007 - Bit of growth.
April 2007 - The dreaded algae, went through diatoms and a bad cyano phase that lasted for months.
October 2007 - Got a skimmer and things gradually started to improve.
Now - Just put a new kelvin temperature tube in which really enhanced the coralline algaes and made the tank look crisper.
Current fish are a Sixline Wrasse, Bicolor Blenny, Common Goby and a Coral Beauty. My Dad and sister got the CB, I know she'll get too big eventually but she's only 2" at the moment and has plenty of space. She's currently recovering from intestinal worms (hence a bit skinny) but doing better every day.
Bligh - favourite species of fish by far.
Cupid - crazy personality, real clutz and a real cutie.
