Upgraded from a 5.5g. (Click here to view its thread)

Equipment:
Tank: 15G H AGA (20"L x 10"W x 18"H)
Light: 20" Sunpod 150w - 14k bulb (Waiting for this)
Filter: Cascade 150 (Taking this off probably)
Powerheads: Maxi-jet 600 and Koralia Nano (Replacing the MJ600 with another K-Nano)

Livestock:
Fish: Darter Goby
Crabs: Various species including two or three varieties of hermit crabs, several other crabs
Snails: Several types including two or three Rock Snails/Whelks, Limpets
Other: Brittle stars, feather dusters, rock anemones, pods

Macroalgae:
Codium, Caulerpa, Chaetomorpha, and others (from my pico - the only thing in the tank, besides one piece of left over LR, that didn't come from the beach)

Please, feel free to ID anything you can. I'm having a hard time coming up with names for most of these critters/plants.

Pics to follow!

Pictures!

looks cool, got a fts?

I apologize to our non-broadband capable users.

Anyone have any tips for getting macro to take hold and grow well? This is my first real attempt at keeping macro. I think I also want to get an anemone. I think it would bring this tank together well.

looking much better then the naked 5.5!

If you notice, in every picture, tiny there are feather dusters covering the rocks. Also, a few tiny anemones (I think) have shown themselves (as you can see in picture 10).

Looks great.

Very nice. I love the different macros!

Following along here. Want to see this tank grow and what it becomes with the guiding hand of Sword!

So awesome! I'm actually about to do something similar - you've given me some good ideas. Thanks!

sweet!!

once i get out of school, off to USC for marine biology, then to the beach to make a tank like yours!!

Very nice!

sweet tank

that non-hermit crab is a stone crab (very expensive in restaurants)

I haven't updated this because it really just fell apart. The predatory crabs and snails destroyed the fragile rock in an effort to eat the feather duster worms.

I will be transplanting the predators (hermit crabs, stone crab, other miscellaneous crabs, whelks) into the 5.5 again and resetting the 15 as a FOWLR (and eventually a reef) in the very near future. Just need to get a light for the 5.5.

One last picture:

A spaghetti worm, crawling on the critter keeper that I have a few pieces of live rock in (cycling for my pitcher project).
