shawnd08 Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 I figured I was overdue for an update on the tank. Most of my corals have been moved from this tank to my 15 gallon. I have added a couple of acan frags to grow out and combined some zoas onto one plug that I hope will form a colony. The YCG was not eating when I purchased him and I was unable to get him to eat. Sadly after 3 weeks he passed away. I added a Warpaint GCG and a pom pom crab. Everything has been doing well and the tank has been running g for just under 5 months now. Here are some updated pictures. FTS 7/21/15 GCG Hermit Zoas Acan Pom Pom Crab Link to comment

shawnd08 Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 Tank has been running for just about 9 months now. Unfortunately after 6 months my GCG jumped while I had the lid off and I didnt notice till it was too late . I moved a few frags to my 15 gallon so currently it's a bit on the empty side. Here is a current FTS from my cellphone. Link to comment
fishfreak0114 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Looking good . Sorry to hear about your goby Link to comment
shawnd08 Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 Looking good . Sorry to hear about your goby Thank you. He had about a 1-2 minute window to make the big leap and being in a hurry I added water, put the lid on, and walked away... I should've know better after my male clown did the same thing a month ago in my 15 gallon. Link to comment
rjp83 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Never thought about removing the rear acrylic for the chamber to make it a true 3.7 display. If I ever break mine down for any reason I may do that. I haven't seen these back in stores since I grabbed mine. I think it's a hit or miss tank for petco. For the price paid its a pretty darn good platform. Link to comment
shawnd08 Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 Any update ?I kinda forgot I had this thread going. Been busy setting up my 25 lagoon. The tank is still going strong, I will add a couple of pictures this weekend!! I've also been thinking about taking some rock out and adding a few more macroalgaes, making it more of a lagoon style.

Ivery Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 How high is your light? From top of water? Link to comment
shawnd08 Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 It's about 8 inches. Link to comment
shawnd08 Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 I ended up setting up a fluval spec v over the weekend and moved everything over from the 3.7g. This week my lfs will be getting in some mangroves. I plan on using natural sunlight as the main light source. I will monitor the tank over the next week and determine if more than sunlight is needed. Link to comment
shawnd08 Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 Here is a the tank so far. Everything is doing well. I have the par30 running from 5pm-8pm mainly for my viewing. I just placed the lid with some clear screen for the time being incase my GCG feels like trying to fly, I will be modifying the top once I get the mangrove placed. Link to comment
shawnd08 Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 Mangrove has been added. Link to comment
shawnd08 Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 Going to be looking for a few frags and Macros to add when I go to the E.O Smith frag farmers market this weekend. Also will be upgrading the return pump and adding a InTank media rack. Link to comment
Motolife Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Looks great, always loved the look of mangroves makes a tank look so much more natural. Link to comment
shawnd08 Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 I added a few new macros that I picked up from the E.O Smith frag farmers market as well as a gorgonia. Here are some cell phone picks I snapped quickly. Roots Link to comment
Markburns43 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 And I like the thread name mang Oh I thought you changed the name of the thread to v spec mang. Browser didn't show the rest of the mang rove Link to comment
shawnd08 Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 Stopped into a petstore today and found a mini jet 606 (They actually had 4). $12 later I have a upgraded return pump! Link to comment
shawnd08 Posted October 6, 2016 Author Share Posted October 6, 2016 It's been a little while! I decided to upgrade the spec v to the new Fluval evo 13.5 gallon a couple of months ago. I added a new sand bed and transferred everything over. I had a small diatoms outbreak that cleared up quickly. The only upgrade I have done is replaced the stock pump with the stock pump from my Lagoon 25. FTS Link to comment
quackyduckboy Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Great looking evo! Are you using the stock lights that came with the tank? Link to comment
