JBMcB Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Sweet tank. Nice clean & simple set-up. Where have you been getting your corals from? I am new at this and have been driving all over the bay checking out LFS. Some interesting places. Link to comment
cruzH20polo Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 Nice stuff. I like the Red Monti a lot. The African Blues are nice also I ended up getting a used 20H from CL. I haven't bought the lights yet, might end up buying a Tek. We shall see I guess. Keep the pictures coming! Gotta get through this week before I can take some time to take some good ones, I've got an ichthyology midterm, a freshwater ecology midterm, and a marine geology midterm coming up I must say though nano-reef is a major source of procrastination for me Sweet tank. Nice clean & simple set-up. Where have you been getting your corals from? I am new at this and have been driving all over the bay checking out LFS. Some interesting places. Thanks that was the main goal ... to keep it simple and clean, now I just want everything to grow I've gotten livestock from a variety of different places, trop-aquarium aquarium showroom trades with locals picture perfect Link to comment
midna Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Nice looking tank you have! Sucks about the heater incident, but it looks like it has recovered nicely. I like your lighting choice, very colorful indeed! What is that light stand that you are using? How did you make/where did you buy it? I want do something similar with my led setup and hang the pendants from piping like that. Also, how is your decorator crab behaving? I've always wanted one, but been too scared to get one.
