Ok, time for a real description!

Equipment:
15 gallon tank 24x12x12
Finnex 4x24w T5HO fixture
AC mini
Koralia nano
Hydor THEO 50w heater
Other random bits and bobs.

There will be a thin layer of sand at the bottom and also some SeaLife base rock going under the rack. May even add a damsel or wrasse, but we'll see. I just wanted to get the frag rack out of the 20H tank and add more rocks to that tank. Once that gets done, I may even get into acans and blastos.

I plan on propping mainly softies like zoas and mushrooms, maybe a couple of LPS. Might put an AC110 fuge mod on the back also, but trying to keep this as low budget as possible until I start making some money back.

Is that the stand next to the dresser??













Yeah baby, new tank!! whoo hoo!!

Thanks for stopping by Richie!

mmmmmmmmm frag tank

Hey, someone else with a 15! I think its a fantastic tank. Plus, its a step up in glass thickness, which makes me feel better.

all i can look at as that GIANT DAGGER weapon lookin thingy on the stand next to it!




oh yeahs, im pumped for teh tank =]

Hi


Yeah, I like the dimensions of the 15 a lot! I chose it mainly because I wanted a frag tank, and I wanted to upgrade the light fixture on the 20H. So the old fixture from the 20H is going on this one. Win win, I say.


Lolz, there are two daggers, one katana, and one chain whip in that picture.

OMG!! I got your corals yesterday, freakin sweet.....
And my mom picked up a 10 gallon with filter and hood that someone had just thrown out. So I'm about to have a frag tank too!!
And I can't wait to see some awesome frags in here...

lani got a new toy!







































i think everyone should be really nice to lani, just so she doesn't have a fit with one of those daggers...
maybe i should send over one of my bodyguards to help you out with those weapons. they know so many things about knives, heck one even cooks

Crazy.

Oh yeah, there is also a box containing some finger armor with a small blade attached....... maybe I should post pics of everything?

Didja hear that???

That was the sound of another one of your threads heading off topic!

So I see you said , chain whip. Now What are you going to do with it? I am free on Wednesdays!

So what frags are you looking to propagate? whatis your plan for filtration and water turnover rate?

Sounds kind of like a train wreck, huh?
My threads always do this...... Ah well!


Lol......


Softies, baby! Whatever I can prop out of my tanks at the moment, which is primarily zoas and shrooms. After I move the frag rack out of the 20H, I am going to beef that system up with more rocks... more rocks means more space for more new corals...... which leads to more frags.

As of right now, I have a Koralia nano and an AC mini to put on the back. If that's not enough flow, I may add another HOB.... might even do another AC110 fuge mod, but I'm trying to not spend ALL of my money at one time, heh...

As soon as I make some progress on the tank, I'll update the first post in this thread with the full details... until then... Off topic chitchat is acceptable!

No props for the 15L suggestion huh?

Oh hai thar!
I said I was going into full detail in the first post after the there is progress!!!
But ya, Ty was the first one to suggest the 15L over another 20H for my plans. Thanks.

My weapons

First post updated..

buy chiller, throw out eggcrate, imo

And then what.... strawberries???

<swears at Lani> I should have gone with the 15's. I'm kicking myself now. Can't wait to see it fill up.

Steve

strawberry frag tank would be cooler

might not get many buyers tho

Teehee


Would be 'cooler', wouldn't it?

course, it'd be purtier too

Few more pics. Tomorrow I'll have a piece of glass cut to sit on top of the radio to protect the wood, then it'll be ready to go. I'll fill it up with RO/DI and mix the salt for a day or so, then add the sand. Should have rock in it next week.

Weetie wanted to see the radio:


And on the inside.... nothing tank related, just books!:

Looks great, grow me something..........

Whatcha want..?

Btw, tank contains saltwater and sand now. Super cloudy so I'll wait to take pics when it clears up.

Cool stand!

sweet frag tank setup up i can't wait to get one setup up in a long while....

but i couldn't help but notice you had some scifi/fantasy novels there ever read the redemption of althalus by eddings? or battle royale by takami? good reads if you haven't!

Thanks!


Thanks! I have not read those books you listed, but the Belgariad series by Eddings in tucked away in the second row of books at the bottom.
Still waiting to see if they actually finish the Wheel of Time series since Jordon died...

I sure hope they finish it.

Me too!! Last I heard they were planning on finishing the last book.. *fingers crossed*
And did you see on the Dragonmount blog... Jordan's blade collection went up for sale on ebay..

^^^^^^^^^^ dorks, get your frag tank up

It is up! Sorta.

M'kay, it's going.. with water, sand, and some rubble I had on the side. Once I get some rocks in there, the rack will be going in too.
Currently:

very cool!! how did i miss this one??

MOVE FASTER

I dunno, I'm sneaky like that.

woooooooot looks good. I demand frags also.

As soon as I see your new tank pics..

how about a armor of god polyp instead?

For me or for you?

for you foo!

Hey -


Nice tank.


- J

Oh... fo shizzle!
Let me know if you ever want to trade, k?


Thanks Jerbear

No doubt, I might pick up a couple polyps of true blues today. See how they do.

I want new stuffs.
Well, I'll be ordering the rocks for this tank soon, so I might as well get some new rics from sealife while I'm at it. I really want one of those bright yellow ones, but can't seem to find them for decent price.

You should hit up Colin for rics, hes the ric master.

Who is this Colin person?
