Hey guys, after my recent foray into the reef world with an ADA mini m i decided 5.4 gallons wasnt enough for me, plus i got a great deal on the light ($50) and the koralia (free!) so here is my 10 gallon, my first real reef tank.
equipment: 10 galloner Current 2x40W Koralia 1 hydor theo 200W (soon to be replaced by a titanium heater when i get the money) i only have 1/2lb of rubble in there right now but my order from sea life inc is getting shipped out monday (finally!:)) its kinda cloudy but its a start !  EDIT 4/9/09 Okay, even 10 gallons wasnt enough. i upgraded to a 20L tank. Current stock: 17lb Sealife inc LR 30lb ocean direct live sand 1 yellowtail damsel 1 yellow clown goby Equipment then: Koralia 1, Nano on the way Zoomed 501 canister holding purigen and chemipure elite HOB for mechanical filtration 100W heater 2x40W Current PC, 4x24W T5HO on the way  Equipment now: Koralia 1, Nano Zoomed 501 canister holding purigen and chemipure elite HOB for mechanical filtration 100W heater 4x24W Catalina T5HO

That looks really good and you are going to like the rock from Ken at SeaLifeInc, he has great stuff.

Do you think the Koralia 1 is sized OK for a 10g tank? I am asking because I also have a 10g, but no Koralia.

alright i got excited and took some pics. i think the haziness adds a cool effect
 and i think the shrimp is a pistol shrimp!! i really hope he makes it through the cycle. i couldnt get any good pics of him because he receded into the dark and ominous cave..  see him on the sand?  -------------------- |

too hard 2 tell what it is... later get better pics of all the hitchhikers so we can ID them and make sure they arent bad. some pistols are bad. but looks good so far!!

haha i feel you. i had to wait an extra week for the rock but it was worth it!
i did some rearranging. its more of a center island look now. i'll take some pics (and hopefully some of the pistol if he comes out of hiding) once it clears. -------------------- |

I bet that you'll come up with a more iwagumi-ish scape than most
