animalmaster6 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 to the pico contest! Remember to put something in your tank for the FTS before the 25th!!!! Shirt, cap, etc. I have to tell everybody this: It is EXTREMELY important!!! You HAVE to put a FTS on the FTS thread every other Sunday. The FTS thread will be made on January 25, 2010 when you are aloud to add rock, sand, water, and life. If you do not follow the directions correctly on the FTS thread or you miss a FTS you will de DQ'd. Link to comment

ReefDreamz Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Just ordered the bulkhead, hydor-flo, chemi-pur elite, filter floss.....now its gonna ship... Link to comment
ReefDreamz Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 WARNING WARNING!!!!! This is the last pic of the empty tank!!! Im filling it as we speak!!! Link to comment
ReefDreamz Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 Ok...got wet......LOL Started with a 4 in sandbed....Hydor Flo decided it should be all on one side, so I took half it out..same issues...so what the heck...I have never had a barebottom....until now!! Also, tried about 8 different aquascapes and didnt like any of them,,so I thought simpler was better.. Now this may change, heck I bet it does once I intro a few corals..... All my rock and water came from my 40 gal, so I expect a small or maybe non existent cycle!. What do you think?? Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Awesome Formation! Link to comment
Angelynn Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 looking good there friend! about the hydro flo, i can adjust the speed on my little pump Link to comment
