NorthGaHillbilly Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 So the wife got BEYOND upset with me for banishing the YCG to the QT tank after he started messing with all the sticks in the big tank. So after some strong words she informed me I, "better make him a pretty tank and get him out of that nasty quarantine tank!" I promptly said, "Yes'm" So here we are. Deep Blue 12" cube, false wall with a little rio 200 GPH pump for circulation. It wont be much for equipment, pump, heater, light. Ive for a Reef Radiance nano light Im going to get hung this weekend. I plan to silicone in the wall tonight after drilling for the return. The "cycle" will be non existent as Im going to be pulling rock from my sump. Not only will this be my first tank with LEDs, but also my first in a long time, with..... SAND. Stay tuned Link to comment

Sancho Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 were is the kitty litter? I put some black sand in my 34 it looks great. Black sand would look proper in that new tank for your wife Link to comment
NorthGaHillbilly Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 well that was fast. Just freshwater testing now, I hope to get the light hung on Sunday and transfer a few things over into it Looks good GA! You gonna get it a pair and throw some cheap sticks in there for them to kill n spawn? LOL LOL, I hope to go with a goby/shrimp along with the ycg, I've got to see how the bioload works out, did the calculations and the damn thing is closer to 6.5 than it is to 8, so with the litter in the equation, I'm worried were is the kitty litter? I put some black sand in my 34 it looks great. Black sand would look proper in that new tank for your wife I think Im going to go old school on this, crushed coral with a figi pink to fill the spaces. Gatta see what my buddies locally have laying around Link to comment

NorthGaHillbilly Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Cool little tank man. Decided to go bb? Thanks man, I really appreciate it. yea, Im going BB for now, unless she pressures me for some sand, or untill I see a yasha goby/ pistol shrimp up at the LFS. I like the idea of sand, I just get spazzed out when I see the detritus in the tank currently. and think about if I couldnt get to it. Link to comment
Chris!

My "70" held like 54g, the 40B held 32 I think, my "150" holds 110 I think (that was with sand and rock already in tho atleast, the other 2 were just water). Hell my 180 was only like 120 of actual water in the DT. You can do it tho, there are smaller tanks with sps, and birdsnest and pocci are easy tolerant turds that will take the beating better then any other sticks.... and also favorites of clown gobies lol Thanks man, I really appreciate it. yea, Im going BB for now, unless she pressures me for some sand, or untill I see a yasha goby/ pistol shrimp up at the LFS.
