DRLenox Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Alright, I finally am getting around to posting this. I have upgraded from my NanoWave 9g to a 28g EURO. I used new Carib-Sea Aragamax sand, all of the water from my tank and the rest from my LFS's (my works) show tank. The transferring went Ok, I lost my Fromia star and my sexy shrimp, but overall everything else made it ok. I did a little bit of work to the tank to give it rear chambers. The way it works is the water goes through the overflow, trickles down a series of egg crate racks (filter floss, filter pad, carbon, ceramic rings), pumped via maxi-jet 1200 through an Aqua C Remora skimmer, flows out of the skimmer into the second FUGE chamber them overflows into the last return pump chamber. The design in pretty simple but seems to work pretty well. Two Hydor Korila 1's on a Natural Wave wavemaker provide the flow in the display. Lit by a 24" Current Nova Extreme 4xT5. Originally I wasn't planning on adding rock but one day at work a customer brought in lots of rock that had been in his tank for 5 years. So I snagged a nice piece that fit nicely.

DRLenox Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 wow.very clean what kind of fish is that? Yeah, still pretty new about a month now but my goal is to clean the glass every day, and never let anything build up. It is a female Square Side Anthia. Tank is a little small for it I know.

DRLenox Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 Thanks for the compliments! I am working at ReefStock today. Picked up some awesome frags last night at the setup. I'm sure there will be some more purchased today. I also took the anthia back. The scale of the fish to the reef was really bothering me. I will post pics of the new goodies as soon as possible. P.S. If your in the Denver area, stop by and say hi at ReefStock. I was there last night and got to see the bulk of the frags, there is some good stuff. I'm at the Reef n' Pond booth. -Matt Link to comment
DRLenox Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 I decided to get rid of the anthia, Way out of scale. Here are some pics of my new frags: Yin-Yang Toadstool Lobo Monti Some Sweet Zoas Thats not all of them i'll get pics of the rest soon. Link to comment
DRLenox Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 One thing I forgot to mention. When I set this tank up I bought lots of pods from Precision Aquaculture Technologies. I would recommend them to anyone buying pods. They are cheaper than most places and the customer service is awesome and they threw in some freebees too! Also my friend gave my a pair of black clowns for taking care of his tank and dogs for a week. I will get pics up of them soon. Link to comment
