Kfmmartin19 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Thanks kfm Pair of Picasso Clownfish Blue eyed cardinals Yellow melanarus wrasse Thanks Hype! What happened to the chromis? I see that this tank is from pico aquariums. Did you buy it Pre-drilled and with an overflow installed? If you don't mind me asking, about how much did this tank cost? I would love to, in the future, have a custom shallow tank like this. One last thing: can you please help me to comprehend the ingenuousness off your aquascape? Do you have like 4 or 5 little islands all over your tank so that the tank is viewable from 3 sides? Would it be possible for you to get a top-down pic of your tank? I think it would make more sense to me then. Until I read the dimensions I thought this tank had similar dimensions to a 20L! Just goes to show what I know... Oh by the way, I take back my last comment. This isn't one of my favorite nanos; it is my favorite nano. Link to comment

I took the chromis out because they started to become aggressive towards some of the other tank inhabitants at the time. The tank was predrilled with the overflow because it was one of chris frag tanks. At the time i bought it was about $400. Theres 4 main "islands". Unfortunately i cant get a decent top down because of the intense reflection from the T5's. Thanks alot for the complement Another tank shot... Link to comment

Kfmmartin19 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Saw this tank today and thought of yours haha. http://www.fishtanksdirect.com/30gallonrim...ssaquarium.aspx If I ever did upgrade I think I could live with this. Not quite the same as yours but similar, and I think I could get the reef ready tank and stand for $350 new. Not a bad deal! Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Eugene, you give great advice! But I think the one thing that you do not mention about the incredible success of your tank is that you seem to choose or start off with great specimens...right???? Link to comment

Thanks i try...Your right acquiring healthy animals is half the battle but the most challenging part can be keeping them that way Educating ourselves thoroughly about every species we would like to care for and doing everything required to keep them in optimal health can be demanding but its worth it in the long run.

When you say that you will make a video in September can u tell us approximately if that will be closer to September 1 or 30? (1 would be ideal, just incase u were wondering) Link to comment

(1 would be ideal, just incase u were wondering) Ha i definitely wouldnt say its perfect..in my eyes it still has more room to grow. To be honest Ive never been fully satisfied with this tank...im always trying to get more from it..whether its growth or coloration.But I am grateful that its come this far. Probably towards the end of september. jer406@gmail.com email me the original size photo hype. that needs to be my desktop Really? i could email you links to a few dozen tanks that are truly worthy of being a desktop background.
