The Oasis: ADA BTA Build

Recommended Posts

Hello Nano-Reefers! I am downsizeing the 37 Column because it is tough to reach to the bottom and I feel like going a different route which means I get to move on to my build I have been wanting to pull off! The tank is an ADA 60-P(24 x 12 x 14) 17 Gallon. The inhabitants I will be having are my Snowflake Clown Pair, Bubble Tip Anemones, Zoanthids, Palythoa, and Ricordea Mushrooms. The only stony coral I plan to keep are my Frogspawns.

I have to order the tank next week.. But since you guys want pics so bad, I messed around in sketch-up a bit so you can get the idea on what Im going for! I will try to design my sump on sketch up too so you can see everything I'm going for. (Sorry I didn't do a MAME overflow.. I wont even try to attempt that!)

sounds fun!

and what ever happened to the solana?

Lid fell in the tank and dinged up the bottom a bit. I was too nervous to set it up.. I have water tested it recently and it holds fine but I want to downgrade and I have always wanted an ADA.. and anemones!

Will it be hard to clean the algae off from the inside?

I have a couple flexable brushes that I should be able to curl up in there or I could vinegar bath it once a month. It comes apart into 3 pieces so I expect it won't be as tough to clean as it looks.

I see. When will the ada arrive?
I Haven't gotten a tracking number yet. I'll post when it's supposed to get here right when I find out.

 

On a side note, I just got the EcoPlus 396.. It is a perfect match flow wise for the Mame!!!
