I started the same tank a month and a half ago. Little money pit! lol It is addicting, so get you wallet out! What upgrades/changes have you made so far? Give us the list!

Thanks all!!

 

Only thing I have done so far is spent waaay too much money :wacko: lol. But nothing major so far mod wise. Just took out the tab from chamber one-two for increased flow, removed sponge from two-three for the same reason and got rid of the floss/carbon cartridge from chamber one then swapped out for floss/bag of carbon in chamber two. This Friday I can order the media basket and then fully utilize the media I have purchased. Would eventually like to add new led lighting(anyone have a suggestion for this?) to it and get a maxi jet 900 or 1200 for return flow.

I have been looking at the LED upgrade as well. I have the 2 LEDs with the 3 diodes, but I don't think that they give very much lighting value. I am looking at Steve's LED and Rapid LED upgrades. There may be some DIY upgrades, but I know so little about how much light is needed that I am afraid to go that route.

Never knew about Steve's LED, will have to look into them! Thought about doing away with the lid all together and getting a clip on or hanging style of light, but wow.. Cost makes me cringe, all in due time I suppose!

What a cute little crab!!

 

I think one hermit in my tank is blue, but he hides a lot more than the others so I'm not 100% sure.

Looking good! Picked up a Radion huh? Baller lol, those are sweet lights!

 

Oh and you should look at getting a pistol shrimp for your goby I have a yellow watchman and pistol and they are really cool to watch, they'll build a burrow together.

Not yet, it was in layaway but things came up and had to cancel for now. Sucks but what can you do. I want a pistol shrimp for sure, I see a lot of people on here have them paired up. It's crazy but cool!

Looking good. I don't know if I am going to go without the hood on mine. I think I will get another tank if I go the hanging LED route. I am doing to do the DIY upgrade.

Well purchased a Reefbreeders Value LED from a member on here a bit ago. Now to figure out how to make a stand for it to sit over my tank, looks like I am going hoodless after all. Will also have to make a cover of some sorts to prevent my fish from jumping out. More pics after all is said and done. :)

Looks good, sub'd. You should try to find a koralia and replace that maxijet powerhead. It's not too pleasing on the eyes. :D. Better yet get a Jebao WP-10 and you'll be in love. It's about $50 ish, but the wave action is amazing. Your fish and corals will love you.
