NanoFever Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 So, This thread is now being converted for my new tank thread as it is an upgrade/replacement for my old tank.I will be upgrading...well everything!!!!!Tank-31 x 14 x 14 PicO Custom w/ external bean overflow dual 3/4 in returns (replaced Nuvo 16)Skimmer-Bubble Magus 3.5 (replaced IM GHOST skimmer)Reactor-IM Mini ReactorReturn Pump-Sicce 2.0ATO- TunzeLighting- 4, 13-up LED's from Dave @ Nanobox w/ Meanwell LDD's and 4 T5 in a DIY fixture from CNC Reef! The new Tank Thread w/ pictures will begin on page 4! **Previous pages are of old tank being replaced**I replaced my IM Nuvo 16 due to a leak within a few months of starting it. Due to poor customer service and other faulty products from them I chose to just scrap the tank and order a new custom tank!**PicO has provided what seems to be an amazing product and great customer service so far so look forward to my new tank vision! Hoping to have this wet within a week! Link to comment
Stakins Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Very Nice!! Can't wait to see more! Link to comment
NanoFever Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 Hoping to get some corals and hopefully another fish this weekend! Have my eye on a few! Link to comment
NanoFever Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 Got a new coral and a cleaner shrimp. Decided to hold out on a Yasha pair for my final fish. Does anyone know if pistol shrimp will mess with other inverts? Sexy Shrimp or my cleaner? NEW FTS (Moved around a few corals. Under Moon lights so not great quality. Will post better picture this afternoon) Link to comment
Fishstiks Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Do you see much of your little wrasse? Been considering one for my tank, but I hear they are incredibly shy and you dont see them much. Link to comment
NanoFever Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 He is out all the time. Took him about a week to get comfortable but he's by far the coolest fish I have ever owned. I took a short video of him the other day. Added a hammer coral last night! Still not fully open yet but had to post some pics. Link to comment

NanoFever Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 Have a small algae bloom. Cutting back the lights and will do a water change. Hopefully that gets it before it gets too bad! All water params are where they are supposed to be. Also go all the stuff for a DIY ATO. Should do until I can find a used Apex for cheap. Link to comment
NanoFever Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 ATO finally built. Had a small algae outbreak that seems under control now. Link to comment

My husband is getting a yasha for his tank, but we ended up ordering online because we couldn't find one locally. What lfs do you go to? Hey, always good to see a local reefer! I went to Elmer's. I had them order it for me. They said if I didnt want him after ordering it was no big deal. Took them about 2 days to get him in for me. So I let him chill at the store for a few days to make sure he was healthy and eating. Was about the same price as I would have paid with shipping online so I gave the LFS the business. Nice looking tank. Your avatar cracked me up are those your dogs? Thanks Lawnman. Still a work in progress, but getting there! They are my pups, they do the funniest stuff! If I am watching TV or my fish tank they go and sit in front of it so I am looking at them instead. LOL! Link to comment
Kijho Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Yasha and the crab look awesome!! Can't wait to see more Link to comment

The people are nice and they have a pretty good selection, but we got our liverock from there and it turned out to have bryopsis on it so I'm a bit grumpy with them at the moment. lol. I want to go check out Slippery Rock Corals soon. I actually have family up in SR, but the store's limited hours has made it difficult to stop by. How's your yasha doing? Just picked ours up at fedex this morning. Link to comment

They don't have a huge selection of fish but more corals than you will know what to do with! They have great frag selections too. Aqua-World on 65 also has some great coral frags but some of there larger more rare pieces are pretty pricey. Also, check out Wet Pets and Saltwater Sanctuary in Canonsburg. Although, my favorite is Elmers for fish/inverts and Slippery Rock Corals is best selection and prices for corals around. Link to comment
