Toomin Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 i love long tanks. it really gives an impression that the fishes have so much swimming space. Link to comment
MGDMIRAGE Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 Awesome! Thanks for the reply, I've been looking for a setup for a refugium this might work for me Np, you can't get much more simple than this. The only difficult thing is finding stands that match up height wise. i love long tanks.it really gives an impression that the fishes have so much swimming space. Yeah i love this 20L tons more than my old 20H it seems way more practical. Link to comment
MGDMIRAGE Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 Xenia added and an SPS frag. I'm noticing MUCH better color out of my GSP since moving to this tank and being under T5 lighting. Coralline has started going nuts on my white LR too! Link to comment
racechase Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 T5's are awesome huh? the tanks looking good keep up the good work. Link to comment

MGDMIRAGE Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 T5's are awesome huh? the tanks looking good keep up the good work. Thank you! looks great! i wish my gsp looked that healthy. i'm not sure what's wrong with it Make sure it's in an area of moderate flow and good lighting. Mine took awhile to settle in but now it's going nuts. Link to comment
MGDMIRAGE Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 Just some Actinic shots i took while i was bored. Yep I was bored! Link to comment
MGDMIRAGE Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 After a long fought war i was finally done and decided it was time to finish the battle.. No longer would i let this simple small shrimp get the best of me. He or she would no longer steal my frags and invert them for his or her structural supports! Yep this was the end of the pistol shrimps frag stealing days! I had devised a plan. It was a very cheap plan but with any luck it would work flawlessly. I decided it was time to create a simple little frag rack, and so what follows are the pictures of my simple design and implementation. First a picture of the ruins that were once well placed frags. Now a picture of my simple frag rack! Lastly here is a picture of the simple frack loaded up. Link to comment

MGDMIRAGE Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 A couple of pom pom pictures, i like never see this guy unless it's feeding time Which makes it very cool when it finally does pop out to say hey! His or her pom pom's are getting huge! Link to comment
MGDMIRAGE Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 Added second Koralia 2 yesterday, the flow is pretty nuts my turnover is about 76.5x now(1530gph). I also rescaped yet again I think i have a problem I think i need Aqua-scapers anonymous. Link to comment

jestersix Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 What a great tank! Love the 20 longs - one of my all time favorites. On your frag rack - what did you use for the legs? Working on a frag tank myself (plan is 36"x12"X12") your rack looks great and I'm thinking that it would give more options on how high you make it. Can't wait to see this one grow out!

I used 3/16" hard airline tubing, it's super cheap like $1.66 for 3 feet(makes 2 or 3 racks) at petsmart. I'm sure most petstores have it too. I used gel superglue to hold them on too... I like it cause it costs almost nothing to make and you don't have to find any magnets Link to comment
MGDMIRAGE Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 Added a small sixline wrasse today a fish i've wanted for a VERY long time. Still need to do tons of updates since the crash lost all of what i had up. Link to comment
BlueAbyss Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I can't believe I missed this (and now I'm glad I turned my 20H into a rimless terrarium ). Nice tank! I love the long tanks and your 'fuge is awesome... I'll be stealing that idea, I want to expand my 10 gallon (you're a genius!). Link to comment
Jacobnano Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 All of your fuges are amazing, both of your tanks have really cool ones. I like the way you put those montis on that tonga looking rock, when those grow out it will look awesome. Link to comment
MGDMIRAGE Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 Thanks all, i'll get some new shots soon... totally rescaped, and fuge has better filter hooked up to it now Wish the NR crash hadn't wiped out the last huge update i had done! oh wellz. Link to comment
Jacobnano Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 O well. I wanna see some new pics. I wish I had seen your fuge idea before I set my 5.5g up.... Link to comment
