basser1 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 (edited) Hello fellow Nano-Reefers! I had posted on another board about my Blue Spot Jawfish and posted a pic. A couple of folks asked to see some pics of my tank and set-up. I've had this BC29 going since Sept. of '06. It has been, and continues, to be a work in progress. It's amazing how your tastes change with time. Originally, everything was pretty much stock. Then I did the usual mods, i.e, widen the chamber between 1 & 2, added a Sapphire Re-Circulating skimmer in chamber 2. The pump has been changed to a Rio 6hf with a Hydor-Flow attachment, the pump is in chamber 3 along with a Stealth 75 watt heater. I also have a Tunze 6025 Nano-Stream. I have a more "open" arrangement for the fish to swim. My corals are a variety of Soft, LPS, and SPS. Tank 29 gal. Oceanic BioCube & Stand Lighting Upgraded to NanoCustoms 150 Watt 14k Phoenix MH HQI in BioCubes' Hood 2 Double 10,000k actinic bulbs Filtration and Circulation 25 lbs. of Live Rock 3" deep Sand Bed ( for blue spot jawfish ) Rio 6hf pump with Hydor Flow attachment in chamber 3 Sapphire Re-Circulating Skimmer in Chamber 2 Bag of Chemi-Pure Elite with filter Floss in Chamber 1 Tunze 6025 Nano-Stream in tank Misc. 75 Watt Stealth Heater in chmaber 3 Fish 1 Pair of Picasso Clownfish 1 Blue Spot Jawfish 1 Red Head Gobie Inverts (Forgot to add the obvious from the Top Down Pic: 1 ORA Maxima Clam) 1 Blood Red Fire Shrimp 1 Peppermint Shrimp 1 Emerald Crab 30 Hermit Crabs 2 Turbo Snails 4 Nassarius Snails Enough of the descriptions here are some pics.

theclearblue Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 The picassos seem to have grown up pretty nicely. Any chance of before and after pics? Quote Link to comment
Oceanic 30g Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Awesome. Very good symetry and color. Well planned. Quote Link to comment
tcreefr Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Now that's a slick looking tank! I'm looking at the BC29 along with the Nano-Tuners HQI upgrade (pricey!) to get back in the hobby after a long hiatus. Any heat problems? Are you running a chiller? Quote Link to comment
TheStar Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) WOW....Looks wonderful! How about some new pics? Do you have another tank thread that I am missing? Edited March 3, 2009 by TheStar Quote Link to comment
basser1 Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 Thought I would post an update of my tank. As you can see, I have gone to the "stick forest" look! Quote Link to comment
Billdemart Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 That is an incredible looking tank. Quote Link to comment
davidr2340 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 'Bout time!!! Amazing tank Basser!!! Quote Link to comment
Nemo Niblets Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Wow, you need to put this tank in your signature so you can get some more traffic. AMAZING! Quote Link to comment
basser1 Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 Wow, you need to put this tank in your signature so you can get some more traffic. AMAZING! Whoa, sexy. Thanks fellas, but that pic is about 2 years old,LOL! It doesn't look like that now. I have since removed the zoas, and most LPS corals. I now have mostly SPS, acros and montis now. Still have the duncans and dendros as well, and of course, the Picassos. FYI, the pic on the previous page dated Feb. 6, 2010 is a more recent pic. Hope you still like it! Quote Link to comment
Jacobnano Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I can see the most recent pic lol. Your thread is only one page long. Change your setting to 100 posts per page. The pros do it that way Quote Link to comment
Clavius85 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Killer tank. I love your zoa garden. Quote Link to comment
