jeffblly Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 Thanks for the comments. My camera sucks and these are the best pictures I could get. I have a hard time keeping the white glare from the light out of the pictures. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to take good pictures? I have a cannon powershot sd600 if that helps. When I get a chance Im going to try to do a price list of all hardware, livestock and everything else I can remember. I have not added up all the prices yet, but I think it will be alot of money spent in the last year. Link to comment

jeffblly Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 My new zoa frag I picked up for $11. Now the top rock looks like this. Link to comment
DarkMazda Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Its turning out to be a great looking tank jeff, it reminds me of my nanocube Link to comment
jeffblly Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 Ive upgraded to the 150 watt sunpod and recently bought the JBJ ATO. The Sunpod is working great and I recently bought a phoenix 14k light bulb for it and will install that in a couple of months. I still have not configured the JBJ to work right. Here is a new FTS.

magical26 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 New Pictures 5/6/08. I now have the Tunze 9002 protein skimmer and JBJ ATO. Hi there, great setup! I was thinking of getting a tunze 9002 as well, but was concern that the skimmer cup would not fit. How did u fit yours? Any pics to show us? My tank is also jbj 24g... Link to comment
jeffblly Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 The tunze 9002 fits perfectly in the middle chamber. I dont think it would fit with the stock hood unless a hole was cut in the hood. Link to comment

jeffblly Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 Update: Moved to a new location and I lost many corals in the move. Lost my lps and sps except for the pagoda cup. I also lost my only yellow ric but my orange rics survived. Added a couple frags so far but I like the less crowded look and my new aquascape is better. Link to comment
