k4ndyk1ng Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Hi all, this is a temporary tank that will still last longer than the pico, lol. The dimensions are 42x30x50cm which is 17x12x20" making this just under 16g. This still isn't permanent for Colin (the rescued cherub angelfish) Filling the tank at 50gpd.... Still filling.... With some salt in, the rest will be made up with the pico water and the water is heating up. The move will hopefully be tomorrow Link to comment
Angel<3Nanos Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I'm glad you are upgrading for that little angel. After it gets bigger I say go for a 40g final upgrade. Link to comment
k4ndyk1ng Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 I'm glad you are upgrading for that little angel. After it gets bigger I say go for a 40g final upgrade. No no no. Not 40 I'm going 60 with dimensions of 48x24x12 so it is shallow and like half a 120 so he will love it. I'm going to pickup a pair of cleaner shrimp in a couple days for the tank. For now here is what it looks like Link to comment
Angel<3Nanos Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Daaang! 60g? Nice! Those dimensions sound awesome! Link to comment
k4ndyk1ng Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 Daaang! 60g? Nice! Those dimensions sound awesome! I just need to save up for lr, plumbing parts, bulbs or instead of lr finding dry rock in the uk that doesn't leach phosphates! And that is cheap so hard to do... Link to comment
k4ndyk1ng Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 Some coral photos Xenia and green mushroom First coral in the pico the red shroom And my zoas, now with 7 polyps Link to comment
k4ndyk1ng Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 Getting some cleaner shrimp on Tuesday, i have asked for the smallest 2 possible so they dont add to much bioload to the tank. when these cleaners get bigger they will also get moved to the 60g Link to comment
Angel<3Nanos Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Nice! Shrimp don't have a big bioload so I wouldn't worry about that! Link to comment
k4ndyk1ng Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 Nice! Shrimp don't have a big bioload so I wouldn't worry about that! The 2 shrimp aren't fighting one the big one is chasing the small one... Also I have found a starfish that appeared on a new piece of lr, he looks like a serpent one and I don't know how I missed him lol, Anyway photos to come Link to comment

I was trying to move some coral and they were between my hand and the rocks, and I didn't want to crush them, they are so cocky. I thought they were shy for the first few days :/ Link to comment

I thought they were shy for the first few days :/ lol I found out when paired they are not nearly as shy and always out and about. Before I paired my single one hung out behind my rockwork most of the day and only came out at night. Link to comment
