with the front door disconnected one could assume that ikea didn't put all the parts in the box once again.

 

I hear ikea, I think of "pie"kea from futurama " here is your affordable Swedish Crap"

No algea yet.. No light for it to grow. the rock is from my 30G on the left of that picture. so cycle should just be the sand.... The sand has black chunks because its Indo Pacific Black Substrate

 

 

nice tank there! btw, is that cabinet from ikea?

 

haha yes its ikea.

No the screws are sitting infront of the sump. the door is of because it needs water proofing.. As the high quality partical board can't hold up to the humidity. :lol:

 

wheres the clam?

 

the clams are in the blue glow to the left.
