avalanche1201 Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 So while I continue to try to figure out if I will move stuff from the 3gal into the 24 AP I found a pic of Sol. Its not the greatest picture in the world but the best of him that I could find....here he is! Sol and all of his greatness Link to comment

STRINGCHEESE Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Nice Tank! May I suggest shortening the drop tube on your filter intake to make more room down below. Link to comment
avalanche1201 Posted September 12, 2007 Author Share Posted September 12, 2007 thanks for the idea stringcheese. Ill have to find something to cut it w/ though b/c im up at school Link to comment
Stirfry001 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I did the AC70 Fuge Mod on mine. I like it a lot. I traded the 50 impeller and it still puts out a huge amount of flow. I might trim it down if it keeps blowing everything around. Link to comment
avalanche1201 Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 so a while back someone was in my room and was like "wheres ur fish". So I regret to inform you that Sol has passed on However, today I make a venture over the LFS and get myself a sweet mantis. It is dark green with spots and a smasher. Not sure on the ID now but its still small...so by the time it could outgrow the tank I should have money to upgrade. pics to come soon o yea, also most of the corals have been moved to my other tank b/c of the mantis also...any good name ideas?

avalanche1201 Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 FTS: One of his possible meals (but I kind of like this guy now) and Mr. Mantis: Link to comment
Yurei Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I dont know if you mentioned it earlier, but do you know what species it is and how big it'd get? And where did you get it? BTW fantastic tank! Link to comment

BTW fantastic tank! No, I have no idea what species it is. But its small enough right now for my tank and thats the important part right now. I got him from a LFS for $40. They had some other mantis there two...2 other Peacocks (they were amazing looking) a Lime Green and another one that wasn't that colorful and thanks for the compliments Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 You could name him Manny. Then when ever he distroys some thing "Thats just Manny being Manny" As long as your in Boston I think that works. Link to comment

avalanche1201 Posted November 3, 2007 Author Share Posted November 3, 2007 It's been up and running since Feb. It has gone through a lot of changes, like aquascape corals live stock etc. It has never crashed. I just top off everyday w/ fresh RO/DI water for the evaporation and do like half gal to a gal water change ever week. as long as you dont over stock, and keep up on water changes you should be alright Link to comment
