Heres the Entry Pic...

Okay Here Goes I have the 2.5 With a 20 watt Screw in bulb in a 2.5 gall Reflector.Im using the Whisper 10,its 90 gph,and Im going to Insert some Sponge.If the HOB is not acceptable please let me Know so that I can go buy another.
As for Corals I plan on Keeping some Zoos ,GSP,Ricordia,a Xenia frag
and something else???Dont know yet.
As for Inverts Im going to Buy some Hermits and a FeatherDuster.
Maybe A BrittleStar.As for a Fish I hopefully Want to find a Yellow Watchman Goby a really small one.
I put Pre-Cycled Water in and filled the rest in with the water mix, 2-3 lbs of LR,and a 1 inch sandbed.
The tank should be cycled by wendsday of next week and I ll start ading corals then...

Heres the Tank 20 Min. after adding the water
Joseph14
Made a really wrong estimate on how long it would take the tank to cycle.by like a couple of hours.Just tested the Water,and Everythings Great.before i put the water in there it had a little amonia spike but now it seems fine.I was thinking of adding some GSP fraggs but not shure
Ill probably wait untill tommorow tho.

I think Im going to Re-Aquascape Because it looks like I just threw the Lr in there.
As for HitchHickers I have found...
1 BlueLeg Hermit
2-3 Migit BrittleStars
1 zoo Polyp(probably Dead)

...More to come Various Holes &
Crevises yet to be Explored.
Joseph14
Okay Added the GSP and They are Freely Waving around in the current.
When I woke up I could have sworn I heard a Clicking noise come from
my desk but I didnt think anything about it.
Travis
Mantis?
Joseph14
I really dont think so Because when I bought the Lr it was out of water a good 3 Hours.and plus the LFS keeps the LR in a Non lighted tank.
so that you dont get any Extras.But if I did get a Mantis ...........................................................

the Bidding starts at 40$...

If its a leg out of the live rock its probably a brittle star
Joseph14

GrizzleBee's
Yeah, I gotta say, that's one pretty bumpin' aquascape!

nice job '05 style!
Joseph14
Going go out and Buy a RIO 110 for the Pico. the Whisper is pretty crappy when it comes to flow.well Gona add the Cleaning Crew in the Next week Just a couple hermits and maybe a brittle star...
dont know yet.Since I alreaddy have a Rio 110 for my other Pico Im going to switch the tube thing tha t carries the water because the one I have is alreaddy Covered with purple & green Coraline growth and it
will blend in with the LR. Oh yeah and I just wanted to ask 1 more time can I put lr in the HOB or mot I wouldnt be keeping aloin there just enough so pods can hide ad I can attach the Cheato if i can put Any in there.

Thanx
