nor_cal_nano Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 Me too. His eyes are always bugging out watching things around/outside the tank. They move independently like a chameleon. He always seems to be front and center so I like that too. Link to comment
gritchie4 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Awesome tank. That brain coral and clam look amazing Link to comment
nor_cal_nano Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 Thanks. The mantle was bleaching a bit towards the very back after I set up the tank. You can kinda see it in the fourth picture. Fortunately, over the last week the color has started to come back. Had me worried for a bit. Link to comment
Spencer7 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Love the tank, what is the filtration? I am setting up a 35 cube and would love some advice concerning the size, any problems, suggestions, thx! Link to comment
nor_cal_nano Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 As of right now, I have an AC50 running. Generally I don't have anything in it, but sometimes if I'm feeling froggy, I'll stuff some floss in there. Soon, I'll be putting my chaeto in there and mounting some sort of fuge light over it. I'll also be running an AC70 with one of inTank's new media baskets with floss, brs carbon, and GFO. Is this going to be your first tank? Link to comment

nor_cal_nano Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 Thanks. I love that piece. I really need to get some updated pics on here. I've gotten quite a bit of growth on stuff since... Link to comment
nor_cal_nano Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 Here's a new FTS. I ended up pulling off the blue background for now... Lots of growth since the last pic Compare with my sig... Link to comment
AFRobert568 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 The tank looks good, there is a variety of colors. What are your thoughts on that MP10? Would you do it again? Link to comment
nor_cal_nano Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Definitely. It came with the whole setup when I bought it used. It's definitely well worth the money though IMO. I think I gave you some chaeto a year or two back right? Link to comment
matth6761 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Your reef looks very nice and healthy! That clam looks awesome! I've got to say, it looks much better without the background. How do you like the purple plus bulb? Link to comment
nor_cal_nano Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 Thanks a bunch for the compliments, guys. Your reef looks very nice and healthy! That clam looks awesome! I've got to say, it looks much better without the background. How do you like the purple plus bulb? Thanks a lot matt. I took off the background to clean the glass and was amazed at how much better it looked. I couldn't believe the difference it made. Considering the tank is really shallow, from front to back, having the background off really added a lot of depth to the tank. The purple plus is nice. Can't tell the difference in the color when I switched from a fiji purp. I enjoyed the 10 bucks I saved Link to comment
adolfo425 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Like the 2 island rock scape and all the nice colors you got in your tank. Link to comment
nor_cal_nano Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 Thank you sir. Now I'm just waiting for things to fill in. Might add a couple inverts, but for the most part, I think I'm done. Link to comment
apgaug Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Tank is looking great man! I've been debating back and forth between a Flame Hawk and a Midas Blenny and you've got me leaning back towards the Hawkfish. Link to comment
