Justind823 Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 Hah yea, I'm kinda jumping the gun here since I don't have anything to take a picture of...deal with it. Everything I have listed I purchased about an hour ago so it will be here soon enough. I do not plan on dismantling this or upgrading in a few months like all of my other tanks, I promise. This one will be sticking around for awhile! I have no definite plans on livestock just yet and I'm open to suggestions. As of right now I'm thinking LPS dominated mixed reef with a small goby or a pair. The only thing I'm positive on is a small fungia. Link to comment
Justind823 Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 Aw yea, just got the tracking info from ADA. I doubt it will be here by the weekend but I'm pumped that its shipped! Also, I think the light will be here tomorrow Link to comment
Justind823 Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 Well I got the order today from BoostLED and while I am very happy with the look and color and everything about the bulb...the goosnek was broken when opened the box I emailed them and explained what I found. I hear good things about their customer service so I'm hoping for the best. Other than it being broken, the whole setup looks very nice! Link to comment
_Mitch_ Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Sucks that it's broken. I'm sure they'll make it right. Can't wait to see this tank up and running! Link to comment
Justind823 Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 Whoa. That was weird. I posted this and moments later my phone lite up with an email from them saying they are shipping a new one out right away. AWESOME Link to comment
Justind823 Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 Woo! I really want to get this tank going. I now have a DSLR to take some nice looking pictures for a change. Link to comment

Justind823 Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 ^ Lol thanks for that Got the tank! Its not my camera but I did my best with the white balance. Still practicing with it. I want my own DSLR, its a lot of fun. Link to comment
Justind823 Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 I'm hoping so! Moar picz Yes I know these photos aren't all that exciting... Just playing around with the camera Camera junkies please criticize my photos so that when the time comes to take pics of coral n such I can make the right changes. Link to comment
Justind823 Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 Got some rock and water today! The haven't done much with the scape yet but its definitely going to get changed. Its surprisingly difficult to scape in such a small space. Still need to get some dry sand but at least I got the rocks in there to get this going. Oh yea.. I moved the tank. This way everyone in the apt. is happy. Link to comment
Justind823 Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 I put some dry sand in the tank around a week ago. I went through a short cycle since getting the rocks and I'm now getting some nice algae growth. Going to the LFS today to see what I can snag for a cuc. Hitchhiker zoa Link to comment
jgpico Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 sweet tank. what are your stocking plans? Link to comment
_Mitch_ Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Not crazy about the scape, to be honest. It lacks any definition and doesn't look natural at all. Also, those bulky black hoses don't help too much in terms of the looks. If I were you I'd make a nice looking "pile" of rocks around the hoses, which would make things look more clean (this is an ADA after all) and you could probably do something cool with the 'scape. I'm not trying to be rude at all, I'm just giving my own 2 cents. Link to comment
Justind823 Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 sweet tank. what are your stocking plans? I just picked up 2 sexies and a small cuc. As for coral...I'd like a head of frogspawn and a small plate but other than that i'm not sure. Very awesome. Thanks bud Not crazy about the scape, to be honest.

I havent really done much with it aside from putting the rocks in there and standing one of them up next to the overflow. I'll figure something out with it. The hoses, as you said, are intrusive.

_Mitch_ Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Wow, looks great now! Love the new scape. It could be cool if you could mount some Zoa or GSP frags on those hoses. That could cover them up even better. Link to comment
Zer0 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I like the old scape as well, but the new scape is definitely better. It not only hides the returns, but it looks really good in general. Good job dude. Verryyyy nice. Link to comment
iDream Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Everytime I see an ADA I'm just amazed at how clear the glass and seams are, its almost fake seeming to me Tank looks awesome, needs moar life tho Link to comment
