Spencerx Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 I have had this set up for a little over a month now. Had a 5.5 set up before, decided to throw everything into a 10g and wait till i set up a new nano. It has functioned well as a prop tank, with the main coral being zoos. Specs: -10g -65w (i think) LOA ghetto-rigged from HD -HOB filter with filter pad (no carbon) -2 mini-jet 404's -50w crappy hang-on heater -2 tiers of egg crate with pvc legs -unknown amount of LR (enough to fill a 5.5g...) -2-3 inches of very live sand - assorted caulerpa and 2 mangroves for filtration - ALOT of small snails and blue legs (from a local reefer) - 6th month old Oscellaris clown (got him when he was 2.5 months old) well heres a full frontal.... (the light is alot whiter/brighter in person) Link to comment

Spencerx Posted June 23, 2003 Author Share Posted June 23, 2003 any questions or comments welcome. I will be the first to say that i know it is ugly, but i think that the benefits of captive propagation are greater than the aesthetics of my room . Also, if anyone in the southeast wants to thermos trade or something, shoot me and email or pm. thanks for looking guys! Link to comment

Dustin Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 Well, it was nice trading with you yesterday and today spencer, maybe I can get some of that bubble coral sometime, I hope everything turns out really good. Also, there were about 5 new polpys forming on that sun coral, so make sure they are not buried in the sand. Link to comment
