e-rock

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I will be setting up my new tank. Here is the start of the build thread...Chris at picoaquariums, Is an excellent tank builder and I was extremely impressed with the finished product. Now I know why there is so many positive comments about his work/customer service. This tank is going to be a shallow reef that my 5 gal and 25 gal cube will get transferred into...

 

The tank is a custom 26x15x10 with a left corner over flow and blacked out back.

Stand- still work in progress, 70% done.. 3/4" oak plywood with 2x2-2x4 supports. Just needs to be drilled and painted...

Light- AI nano with ext mount

sump- 12x12x12 custom pico aquariums sump (on the way)

Top off- hydor smart level

Skimmer-cadlights pls50

Heater- Cobalt neotherm 100

Controller-undecided

 

Live stock-on tank transfer

Pair of captive pink skunk clowns- had for years

2 RBT anemones

Small green clown goby

Small cherub angle

 

Ora clam

 

Many corals to come...

 

More to follow...

 

Up date..

Working on plumbing the tank now...hopefully water will be in it next week

Return pump is a rio 1100.. Hopefully this dose the trick.
