Thanks guys! There's still some work to be done. Need to clean up the inside and get some sand in the tank. The quake forced me to start working on it so thanks nature...kinda. It's coming along!

what you gonna do for filtration? ac70 with surface skimmer?

 

 

Probably going to make something like the subcurrent filter I had for my Mini S, just one that fits the dimensions of my tank better and can fit a large heater. Hopefully I'll get to it tomorrow.

Yea it's too bad that got rid of them. It was a great product. I still have mine in storage...one day I'll break it out and put it to good use.

That's exactly how I feel right now, oh, I'm getting both drygoods and livestock in the mail :naughtydance:

 

I've decided to go a different direction with the filtration. Should be fun to try out anyway. If I hate it I can always go back to the subcurrent idea. Stay tuned!

Still a work in progress. I got some ric's in the mail, that's why there is a tupperware in the tank. Helping the little guys attach to the rock.

 

I finished working on something for the tank, hopefully I can get it all sorted and installed tomorrow.

can we get some info on the light setup? have been a fan of it for a while now :D

 

Ah the light...it's a tiny unibody heatsink (4"x8" I believe) that I got when nanocustoms was clearing stuff out. 4x4 RB and CW Cree's with 2 OCW's from ledgroupbuy. Powered by the dimmable duo700 and a separate dimmable driver for the ocw's. I've been meaning to add a moonlight for awhile but I'm mostly too lazy to run the wire through the light tree. Also, I can't decide what to use for a moonlight...

I picked up springeri damsel for the tank. It was just so cheap and an amazing looking fish! Since I have a flatworm problem hopefully it'll take care of the issue. While I was at it I grabbed a fiji yellow leather and a pom pom crab.

 

The tank is running well on the new filtration system. I've been using Nualgi for the past 3 weeks and I'm noticing my smalls patches of algae turn white. I figured it was worth a try for a free sample and it seems to be paying off.

 

No pictures yet. Going out of town this weekend so hopefully I'll get some up when I come back.

whoa, that is one badass little fish

 

 

For sure! It's also doing some fine work on my flatworm population.

 

Springer Damsel ? Such a nice looking fish !!! Nice pick up man !!

 

Thanks! Very happy with my purchase. For 6 bucks it was hard to pass up.

Beautiful fish justin...although they get pretty aggressive once settled in.

I've heard that. I've decided it's going to be the only fish in the tank though.

 

Do you know if these fish ever show any aggression towards invertebrates?
