Geek Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Got my planted tank almost crystal clear. Still thinking about upgrading my nano reef prob wait until I get back from our camping trip next week. Quote Link to comment
Geek Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 Decided to go fishing again and caught this. Was surprised thought it was a rock at first. Quote Link to comment
Geek Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 Here's a quick video of the tank. Looks like I might have copoeds? Look under coral at 40sec I think. Quote Link to comment
Geek Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 Back from my weekend camping trip. Everything still looked pretty good. Did a 85% water change. Still thinking about upgrading to a bigger tank. 3 Quote Link to comment
Geek Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 I was feeding the fish today and I was looking around to see if everything looked good and I'm pretty sure I spotted the pom pom crab snatch up food or something that looked like it. 2 Quote Link to comment
Geek Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 Got bored took out a canvas and did this drawing. Next time I might do something reef related don't know yet. Quote Link to comment
Geek Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 Moved my gsp from sand to a piece of rock. Picked up the rock and my pom pom crab was still alive haven't seen it since I got it. Probably get more coral this week. I also saw some shrimp looking bug. 2 Quote Link to comment
Lula_Mae Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Shrimp bug was probably an amphipod. Glad you spotted the ever-elusive pom pom! They can hide in the tiniest of cracks, it's pretty amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment
Geek Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 It was out looking around again so took a quick pic before it decide to disappear again. 2 Quote Link to comment
Geek Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 Guess I'll just keep this tank going since everything is doing good in it. Got any modding ideas I could do with it? I'm also breeding some bettas in my FW bare bottom aquarium right now. Decided to buy one of those glass lids for one of my aquariums it's the right size but doesn't fit good I don't recommend getting one. 1 Quote Link to comment
Geek Posted June 2, 2017 Author Share Posted June 2, 2017 Fish is still doing good I'm amazed but he's always hiding out unless it's time to eat or lights off. Really want that occ clown fish though. What to do? Quote Link to comment
Geek Posted June 2, 2017 Author Share Posted June 2, 2017 Things to come soon.... 5.5g or 10g upgrading. 2 Quote Link to comment
Lula_Mae Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 If you want a clown, go for the 10 since you would need to upgrade to that anyway (5.5 is too small for a clown long-term). 1 Quote Link to comment
yungKitten Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I agree. Standard 10 gallon tanks are a pleasure to work with. If you're not dead set on the clown, then a 5.5 is a good option as well. Looking forward to new developments! 1 Quote Link to comment
Lula_Mae Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Yeah 5.5 is my favorite size but I am looking at a 10 for my next tank since I want clowns lol. Quote Link to comment
Geek Posted June 3, 2017 Author Share Posted June 3, 2017 The problem is I need to figure out how to mount my light because it's made for rimless tanks. Quote Link to comment

I took the top rim off a standard 10 and it had no issues for 2 years. (At that point I dismantled the tank because I was going to school.) Quote Link to comment
Geek Posted June 6, 2017 Author Share Posted June 6, 2017 I'm over here back and forth about upgrading but everything is going good why mess with it. Probably do a WC tonight. But I want that clown fish can't make up my mind. 1 Quote Link to comment
LX20000 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 You're not putting a clown in a 5.5 are you? Quote Link to comment

LX20000 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Have you considered the Innovative Marine 14 peninsula... not much bigger than a 10 (and certainly barely bigger than a standard 10), but is 14, and has built in sump. A real nice tank. https://www.marinedepot.com/Innovative_Marine_14_Gallon_NUVO_Fusion_Peninsula_Aquarium_Aquariums-Innovative_Marine-0I10574-FIAQ-vi.html Quote Link to comment
Geek Posted June 6, 2017 Author Share Posted June 6, 2017 If I were to buy a new tank it would be the mr aqua 12g long if I could find one. I already have a extra empty 10g that I could use. This is what I have that I'm not using. 1. 10g aquarium 2. Nano 240 pump 3. AC 70 hob filter. Think it still works 4. Sand 5. Heater Quote Link to comment

Heater I think Bulk Reef Supply carries that tank? Though it'd certainly be a more budget option to go with what you've got lol. Quote Link to comment
Geek Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 Think I'll go with what I got for now. Probably set-up everything my next day off. 2 Quote Link to comment
