Do you still have your Pseudochromis? How is he? You mts love those little guys a lot because I know once you get one you can't get any other fish!

great pictures so far everyone but lets see some more updated ones! I want to get more ideas so that i'll have an easier time when i set up my first tank in june. Most likely a 16g bow. Right now im just trying to get good deals on equipment.

Any other pics of a 16 bow? I hope to pick mine up this week. Still torn between the 10, 20H, and 16BF. Leaning toward the bow for looks though. Hoping to put 2x40 retro in the stock hood or a 2x36 bright kit retro. Though about the 2x40 orbit but it doesn't look like it seems to fit it cleanly.

hey guys... This is my tank after less than 2 months. Everything is looking good. I just love my BTA, probably as much as my clowns do. I need to get some more zoanthids. Yesterday I got some really nice blue mushrooms on a piece of rock covered in coraline algae.

 

P.S. 26 gallon is a very nice size, big enough to do what you want yet still easy to manage.

Just a bump and an update. Got a new zoo frag, green fringe. Also got a small bubble tip anemone for 5 bucks! The frag for the same price too.

I'd go with the MH if you can afford it, I'm trying to save up for an IceCap 150/250. Might do the 250 because for some reason the ballast is cheaper? I do have to agree with you on the rockuascaping, looks great.

hey guys, what the light situation so I can grow coral. yours is sooo cool. how much did you have to drop on it anyway. im stuck with a crappy 15w single stock light. help!

Most people in your situation would opt for a PowerQuad 96 watt PC. If you can afford it go metal halide. I'm still trying to upgrade from my 2x36 watts to MH but funds are lacking.

if you check the classified ads on this sight you may find some 70 watt MH retros. then you would have to either build a custom canopy, or have one built for you. probably about 200 bucks in the very least for that light set up.
