Setting up yet another tank. I have taken down the .8 gallon and sold that to a fellow nanoreefer. I just wasn't enjoying the tank, and had this custom 20 long acrylic, just sitting around waiting to be set up.

 

Edit: decided that I hate this 20 gallon tank both for the eurobrace and it's acrylic. Tank has been decommissioned and mr aqua will take it's place.

 

 

I have now drilled and sumped this tank! I decided that with the move and teadown this would be much cleaner and easier without all the clutter. New Mr. Aqua starts on page 7

 

This will be a maxi minii garden of sorts

 

July/14th/2015 FTS: 2x par 38 photic 54 bulbs!

Dayum!!!! Livestock? A wrasse!!? :)Following!
It has a weird euro brace on top, which would make for an awkward top sitting on it. Unless a sixline, which I've never had jump, although I'd like a more uncommon fish I think. Thanks for following!

Hopefully have the rock on Tuesday. Them the other equipment on the 3rd or so. I'll at least have a scape and sand in the tank, waiting for the other stuff.Still need......Current USA led, WP-10, Neo therm heater, aqualifter and tank, power strip and heater controller.Won't be using a RKL or anything, just the SL1 next to my tank for the float switch and aqualifter pump.

 

dayum that acrylic looks 1" thick

It's 3/8"

Some new pics. Nothing special, but installed float switch and snail guard. ATO pump should be here Wednesday, at which point I'll start cycling the tank. I put down the mat underneath the tank and added sand. Tank is now ready for rocks scape tomorrow, when rock arrives.

I had a couple of orchids that I bought at Lowes last year. They were in these little pots that supposedly had everything they needed, just add water.They were supposed to be easy to keep, I killed them :(.

I see you
Yep, an old film container. I went to walgreens and asked if they had one I could have for free.

This one needs to be repotted. It's in a small, tiny pot. It won't last long in there.

I take it you ordered from a not so great company with piss poor service.

 

The wife was nice enough to pick up a 2.5 gallon tank for my ATO. I painted the tank black and made a vertical viewing window in the front for water level checks.

Yea it's going on four weeks, kinda ridiculous haha. And I have the same ATO container haha! two of them, painting it looks pretty cool. Does it help with evap?

I don't think it helps with evap, but it blends better sitting on the stand. It also helps keep the light out. I just like the look of it painted I guess too.

 

 

 

That sucks about your pipes. I hate shitty CS, nothing worse IMO.

I've been there, believe that. I'm stoked to get my rock tomorrow too. I think I might fill it up and start the cycle. I'll be able to hook up the ATO on Wednesday.

Yet another build follow Freak,what color scheme you going with if I didn't miss it already lol.

 

Just keeping everything black! The stand is black, the back of the tank and the ATO. I'll probably paint the aqualifter black and use black airline tubing. All inside components will be black, hopefully blending in with the backround. I usually do sumps, but wanted to keep it simple.

 

 

 

Hopefully you'll have your tank soon! Can't wait to see what you do with it.
