Nanofreak79 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 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.

Nanofreak79 Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 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! Link to comment

natalia_la_loca Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Wife got me a minaiture orchid. I love bonsai, and indoor plants and flowers. Beautiful! One of mine just bloomed Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 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. ATO installed. Link to comment
frankdontsurf Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 What is that, a roll of film container? Link to comment
glennr1978 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Wife got me a minaiture orchid. I love bonsai, and indoor plants and flowers. 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 . Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 I see youYep, an old film container. I went to walgreens and asked if they had one I could have for free. 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 .This one needs to be repotted. It's in a small, tiny pot. It won't last long in there. Link to comment
Smithjm5 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 You get your Lilly pipes yet? Omg don't even get me started on that haha, but in short no! Hopefully they'll be here by Thursday though or i'm ordering them from somewhere else. Link to comment

Hopefully they'll be here by Thursday though or i'm ordering them from somewhere else. 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. Link to comment
Smithjm5 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 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? Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 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. Link to comment

Yea I guess that's what I get for trying to save a couple bucks lol, hopefully i'll get them soon tho! In the mean time I can enjoy your build! Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 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. Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Yet another build follow Freak,what color scheme you going with if I didn't miss it already lol. Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 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. Link to comment
