i came back with the same unit, but with an other magnet....

he plugged it in and didn't found it loud! yeah because it is incredibly noisy in that LFS!

 

i plugged it back in in my room, and the sound is really making me nuts!!! :furious::furious::angry::angry:

Update:

 

in the past weeks i've made some plans for a little upgrade.

the new tank will be 36" x 24" (width) x 16" (height) and overflow will probably be an DIY ghost overflow and blue background.

equipment will be:

lights: maxspect razor 160w or 6*24 T5

skimmer: reef octopus SRO2000 cone (Jebao dct40000 pump with ATI gridwheel)

flow: 2* tunze 6095 (7096 controller)

return: Jebao DC12000 (lowest setting)

Diy automatic ZEOVIT reactor

 

this upgrade is planned for the summer, so i have another 2 months to plan things ;)

 

as for now i removed the black back of my nano:

Tank looks great! I actually really liked it without the sand and your skimmer in the main display but your new picture is a lot cleaner looking.

thanks everyone!

 

I just love the clear background. What a shame I cannot have a (full) clear background on the new tank because of the overflow :closedeyes:

#holywow.

 

Love it, scape reminds me of mine except I'd bet yours is better counterbalanced by weight on the right side. Great job, that is a lovely tank.

maybe i should update my journal :lol:

 

I had to stop the tank about a year and a half ago because I dind't have enough time to properly maintain the tank because of school.

So I stopped for a year and a half, but always wanted to start again. And so ... on the first of december i started again with a little nano. The goal was a little nano reef 

with easy to keep corals and maintaining the tank through weekly waterchanges. I picked up a aqua medic yasha dirt cheap (but had good bit of scratches) i couldn't resist. 

The tank was 12" long, 16" wide and 12" high. With an all in one setup in the bak of 4" so the display tank itself was a 12" cube.

The tank was running fine and thrived on waterchanges. 

 

Untill last week i went and bought some corals. Came back home and found that the coral were too big and didn't fit nicely in the tank.

at that moment I already saw someone locally selling a nice shallow tank and was already tempted to pick it up. But when I saw that the corals were to big for the aqua medic I went ahead and bought the tank. :P

 

The tank dimensions are: 32" long * 16" wide * 10" high with an all in one segment of 5inch. 

Lighting: Coralbox moon led plus, but will hang my giesemann 4x24w t5 fixture in the near future. Just need to figure out how i will hang/mount them. 

Skimmer: Coralbox s150

200gph return pump

Tunze 6040 powerhead

 

Fish:

- 2 occelaris clownfish

- 1 falco hawkfish

-1 yellow clown goby

Wow you've been busy, welcome back @Bossy! Your 12" cube was looking really nice, but the new peninsula aquarium is gorgeous! Open aquascapes like yours have such a natural look. Is the tank sitting on an IKEA bookcase? Such a perfect fit, it must have been a custom aquarium built just for it?

Isn't it amazing how quickly they bond?

I think it went very fast! Especially because these are capribve/tank bred... i actually thought it would take a very long time .

Haha so you bought new coral that was too big for the tank so you just bought a bigger tank. I like the way you think :D

 

If my tank was next to my bed like that (assuming that's your bed) the covers would be soaked on a nightly basis the way I toss the blankets around while sleeping! 

 

The new tank looks great though, really,  I love peninsula style tanks.

PD is the one i go to the most of the time. Where in belgium are you located? I'm in West-Vlaanderen. We don't have  much  lfs here in  west-vlaanderen.

That's a clean setup Bossy, love it.

 

Btw, you wouldn't know of any good LFS apart from PD would you?

Puurs, border of Antwerp/Oost Vl. and it's no better here, I go to PD because I don't know of any place near me that isn't just freshwater or pond only.
Neon in Lokeren used to have some stuff but I visited it once after they moved and was less than impressed.
