Esqueleto Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Update...Cycling is boring lol LOL totally agree!!! Thats why I use established live rock from my tanks or sumps. Instant cycle by the way I cancelled the order of the HALOGEN light because my stand is not covered with wood under the tank so I can put any light under the tank and give plenty of light to the chaeto. I think I will cover the rest of the bottom with black paint or something; so I dont get too much algae grow all over the filtration chambers. Link to comment

Esqueleto Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Thats actually a good idea. I don't have the room as my nano is on the granite bar. Subermigle is the way to go for you then I liked the halogen bulb a lot BUT with the $22 Ill spend on it I rather spend that money on the media basket from Tim (YankeePete) I guess the progress of your 20L AIO will be slow untill the cycle is done :| Link to comment

Bella's Reef Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Nice light! I purchased Esqueleto's old 20L AIO kit, trying to get things started, got it siliconed in and realized I missed two inside of the smaller panels seams in the rear due to a slow flow rate. Hope to have the back painted black and the seams sealed this weekend. Next step working on a stand for it. Link to comment
MFChop Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Officially over-stocked, added a small green chromis Link to comment

Bella's Reef Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Sent you a PM about skimmer and to see if you are interested in the media basket I have & will not be using for this kit. Link to comment
venturalvn Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 WOW I really like that last FTS. This thing has really come together aesthetically. I hope you can find what's going on with your algae, but either way this is looking awesome. Link to comment
MFChop Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 Sent you a PM about skimmer and to see if you are interested in the media basket I have & will not be using for this kit. Yeah thanks, still havent pulled the trigger on one yet... WOW I really like that last FTS. This thing has really come together aesthetically. I hope you can find what's going on with your algae, but either way this is looking awesome. Thanks yeah still having slight issues with the algae. Zero nitrates with WC every two weeks, I think it might be the lighting but I cant do much about that.. Link to comment
