Recommended Posts

Help me decide what to do with this , it has been running on my desk FOREVER in total darkness with nothing in it. I had a teeny tiny puffer in it at one time, but he didn't even make it through the night. (none of the 3 that the LFS had made it more than 3 days)



Tank : Fluval Spec iii
Return : Mini-Jet 606
Filtration : JBJ modular surface skimmer w/ inTank basket filled with part of stock sponge (for now)

in filter area chamber 1 : inTank basket (top - bottom) = blue filter pad / chemi-pure blue / sponge (rinsed bi-weekly)

in filter area chamber 2 : NeoTherm / mini-jet 606 / ATO float / ATO emergency float

Heater : NeoTherm 75w
Light : AI Nano (for now) - Sending my Tide back to Dave for the magical upgrade
Dosing : Jebao DP-4 (C-Balance A/B)

Aquatop AC/DC-One Emergency Air Pump also installed

I have an idea of what I might do, but was interested in some outside ideas before I commit.

wow, those first zoas...i need some of those in my life!

No clue what they are, but there are more frags at the store . Might be a little pricey just to ship the one frag tho

I also love the first zoas! Any idea what they are?

Couple of quick pics:

 

The stock arm that comes with the AI nano looks TERRIBLE on this tank, so I had to get creative.

 

3m easy remove stick on hooks

Also, It is no longer on my desk, I moved it overto sit on top of my mini fridge right next to my desk.
