gupebreedr Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 Well, if Rob's pico ends up ruling the pico universe, I'll give you all free entry at the Deco Club (working title) - AKA, my nightclub-themed pico. And I'll narrow my guesses down a bit... Cool, I'll be the first in line. Me likes your title. So anywho, what is your final answer??????? Link to comment

It's a hot spot in the Caribbean...... Link to comment

gupebreedr Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 Way to go Newman, you won bragging rights. Welcome to The Lost City of Atlantis So here's promised pictures of my "Cheap and Tacky yet Sexy contest pico. I've made a few changes since my first posting, removing the sand. It was far too fine and kept blowing all over my little city covering it with what looked like snow. I will be replacing it with some new sand/gravel as soon as it arrives, it's on order. The rest of my plans will be revealed slowly as they develop. Stay tuned........ Link to comment

Overall this should be a very new and interesting concept. looking forward to how you'll make this work Yes Atlantis has trees, and they are green!!!!! If I can find what I'm looking for there may be more trees around Atlantis. lol I can vision what I want this to ultimately look like when mature, it's just getting the livestock that I want and hopefully it grows somewhat quickly. I fear you are planning on letting GSP take over that fairy tale castle! Oh now, Kali, why did you have to go and spoil the surprise. That is indeed my thoughts but was hoping the GSP would grow a bit more like grass along the bottom. Link to comment
DIstudio Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 loving it man, looking forward to seeing this thing over come with GSP. I just got a piece of that stuff last night for free from my LFS, along with a nice sized yellow tang oh and shameless plug...check out my project thread, added a pic Link to comment
metrokat Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 i really like the color tones of the par30 vs the stock 13W, I'm a fan of warm tones in general. Link to comment
gupebreedr Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 So it's been a few days since I've posted any type of update and pics. Here's the tank as it stands today. My new glass gravel has been added and it looks great, IMO. I'm somewhat puzzled however, I've not seen any type of cycle in this tank. I've been taking readings daily and everything comes up 0. In addition, I've not seen any type of algae growth. I'll let it go a few more days before I try and any livestock to it. FTS Complete setup Link to comment
.Newman. Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 is there a reason you didnt go with sand? Link to comment
gupebreedr Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 is there a reason you didnt go with sand? Yes, SANDSTORMS LOL, I had sand in the beginning and it blew all othe tank even with the flow turned down on both the HOB and the fuge. So instead of going with a larger grained sand and keeping with my theme of Cheap(Frugal) and tacky I decided to go with the glass gravel. I have approx. 3 lbs of live sand and 3 lbs of live rock in the fuge so I would think that should be enough for any bio-load I would have in the tank. (I hope) Link to comment
gupebreedr Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 Big update!!!!!!!! A glowing experience comes to life!!!!! .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. First livestock added today.
