fishdaddy0831 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 This is my 12g NC. Pictures taken with crappy point n shoot Nikon Coolpix L5 Youtube Video Here The tank has been up for over a year. However, at the end of last summer I went on vacation and came back to dead tank. I was broke at the time(4k vacation), so the tank stayed up but I literally didn't turn the light on for 3 months. (I had no fish) Things started looking better for my bank account and I finally got the desire to "start over". Ive got a good start on my corals, and now waiting for things to grow out. Some corals I haven't been able to get a good picture of yet are couple sps, red monti cap, yumas, shrooms, some other zoas. My camera sucks, and I'm no good with it. Baby frogspawn My 5 year old names everything in my tank. This is Globy Big Red Jellybean (a little camera shy today) A Crack! I found a bunch of these a few weeks ago after I changed to a MH. Everyone remeber years ago the NC 12g tanks busting left and right? This is one of the older tanks. Plans are in the works to switch to a 20l. ATO (need a guard on it still) DIY light stand. The legs that the FNI light came with wouldn't sit the way I wanted it. This works perfect. The fist week. Link to comment
adman Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Looks great! Glad you got it back up and running Link to comment
captainbastard Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Nice. A 20l will look sick Link to comment
fishdaddy0831 Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 Nice. A 20l will look sick I agree, but I'm still trying to figure out how I want to set up the AIO. I cant add a sump given its location, and I don't want to put that much money into it. Thats less money for the 40b I'm planning. Looks great! Glad you got it back up and running Thanks It's got a lot of growing to do. Link to comment

fishdaddy0831 Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 Pulled this guy out of my pool. He must have been swimming all night. He tried to walk away when I pulled him out but he just fell over and layed there panting for hours even after we walked away. Link to comment
fishdaddy0831 Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 Awsome tank! and wierd possum... Thanks. Yeah, when I came outside he swam right at me. He acted like a dog almost. He knew I would get him out. He latched onto the pool net when I put it in the water. Lol Link to comment
fishdaddy0831 Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 Any ideas for a 2nd fish? My son would love for me to get a clown, but I'm hesitant. I've read that if it hosts in my frogspawn the FS might die. Link to comment
devmasa Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 great tank fishdaddy...looks really good. I have a couple of questions : 1) Are you having any heat issues with the 70 W MH fixture? 2) What are you using for Auto topoff and where did u get it? Link to comment
fishdaddy0831 Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 great tank fishdaddy...looks really good. I have a couple of questions : 1) Are you having any heat issues with the 70 W MH fixture? 2) What are you using for Auto topoff and where did u get it? No heat issues because of the open top. I have a 25w heater and the small fan you see in the picture both going to a RKL. My temp never moves more then .4 degrees, and the hardly ever kicks on. The ATO is DIY. Just the common float switch to a air pump kind. Link to comment

fishdaddy0831 Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 You have some cool corals and a really neat aquascape. Thanks! When I was making the scape I used larger rocks and broke them up in the shape I liked. It helped a lot. Link to comment
