jabeuy Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Just set up a 7.5g Mr Aqua Bowfront. Planning to keep it very minimal. Minimal in equipment, scape and livestock. No sump, no skimmer, no HOB filters. Just lights, a heater, a powerhead and ATO. No sand, and just a single rock. Planning to put in easy corals, no SPS here. Maybe some GSP, zoas and torches...cause I love torches haha. Fish? Likely just one. Not sure which yet, something that doesn't like to jump. I'm leaning towards a damsel right now. Link to comment
dbk07 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Pretty neat. What's that light on it? Link to comment
jabeuy Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Pretty neat. What's that light on it? Current Orbit Marine. More than enough for what I plan to keep Link to comment
jabeuy Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 Found a large GSP rock, and had to get it. So much for just having a single rock. A few weeks ago: Pico 8-12-2015 FTS by JB Uy, on Flickr Today: FTS by JB Uy, on Flickr Link to comment

DurocShark Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I really like this. What's the fish you have in there? Link to comment
jabeuy Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 I really like this. What's the fish you have in there? Thanks, its a yellow tail damsel. Link to comment
jabeuy Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Got an AI Prime for this tank and shot a short video running through some settings: Link to comment
jabeuy Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 IMG_20151125_183341 by JB Uy, on Flickr Last shot of this tank in its current iteration. Going away for a couple of weeks soon, so I'm gonna move all the contents of this tank to my bigger tank that has an apex haha. Link to comment
DurocShark Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Why? It can run on autopilot for a couple weeks. You'll probably have to gradually get the salinity back to where it belongs when you get back, but even that would be minimized with a cover. The only thing you'd need to move is the damsel. I still really like it the way it is. Link to comment
Dave-er Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I'm starting to really like these bare bottom tanks. Nice setup! Link to comment

I still really like it the way it is. That's true. That was my original plan, to just move the damsel and shrimp and leave the corals in place. But it's gonna be a pain to catch them without taking the rock and GSP out. Also...I need to fill out my big tank with corals lol. However, now I'm rethinking things. Maybe I can try to catch the damsel first, and see how that goes. Link to comment
jabeuy Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 Tank's been back up for a couple months now. Not as colorful as before since I'm taking a different direction, all softies (if goniopora counts lol). IMG_20160428_210500 So in here now is: - a tiny clown - a rock of pink star polyps - a rock of goniopora - a rock with a strip of gsp - tuxedo urchin Link to comment
vision Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 i could never do this... ...only because i would have the urge to throw more money at it cause it's so awesome! looks great! Link to comment

Haha thanks! Cool thing about this tank is, the goniopora and pink polyps came from my big tank where they stopped opening up. I put them in this dirty, filter less tank, and bam, all the polyps opening! Link to comment
