Your tank looks great! I have pretty much the exact same setup. Same tank, light, and modded filter. One question for you. Where did you get your ATO setup? Or DIY? I was trying to see how you mounted your float switch in the video but couldn't really tell.. Where did you get the mount? Anyways, the tank really does look amazing!

I also picked up a piece of Miami Hurricane chalice and a black clown goby with neon blue stripes but he was not being very photo-genic due to the fact I got him yesterday so he is still settling in.

Awesome tank! Just purchased a TruPop off of here and can't wait to get it over my picotope next week! Have you thought anymore about or purchased a clam yet for the tank?

I have not.. I'm stilll waiting for my lfs to get a purdy small one in lol I'm kinda picky about what I want to put in the tank, but I have added two more chalices and everything is growing very nicely.

Nice tank. Can I ask how you've got the light mounted? I'm setting up the same tank & ordered same bulb.

its mounted via a Boost Clam lamp to a piece of wood that I affixed to my stand

how's that sps doing? and how long after the setup did u add it? i kinda want to give a sps frag a try.

sps is doing great, Ive had it for about a month now I believe and that would have put the tank at around 6 months old. just try and easy non expensive frag like birds nest. and ive actually had a green monti cap in for about 5 months and ive seen lots of growth from that.
