Tmr8188 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Hello! I never actually setup this tank. Life and laziness got in the way. This tank will be housing my mushroom collection. Planned equipment: Lifeguard Aquatics Fullview 7 gallon AIO Nanobox Tide (currently a V2 array, I might have to send it off to Dave for a new array. Its my first Nanobox and I dig it) Upgrade return pump to an Eheim 600 or one of the new hydors I will be using the glass top to hopefully keep evaporation to a minimum. Manual top offs will have to do for now Built a scape with 5 lbs of stax rock, looks too symmetrical for me Planned live stock: Yellowtail Damsel A small cuc Bounces! some hammers and torches Some favias Tank is going in our bedroom 2 Quote Link to comment
SeaFurn Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Aside from the Chicago Bears logo this looks good! Go Pack! haha! There's only one other build with this tank on here that I know of. Will be interested to hear your thoughts on the tank as you get going. What kind of return pump comes standard with the tank? Quote Link to comment

We have Money Mitch now! I am not sure what return pump is included but I have the eheim lying around so I will see if it fits. The other build hasn't really been updated recently. I don't know about the long term sustainability of housing two captive bred Mandarins. 1 Quote Link to comment

Thrassian Atoll Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Interesting tank for sure. I haven't seen anything with the angled front like that before. Quote Link to comment

Tmr8188 Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 Got my 3rd hand nanobox tide setup. Orange vivid lid with black body. 2 Quote Link to comment
Tmr8188 Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share Posted September 7, 2017 Got the tank in. The silicone work is kinda sloppy. I love the glass lid though! Just need to find a piece of furniture to set this on. 2 Quote Link to comment

kimberbee Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 What's the white thing in the bottom right? Quote Link to comment

Yeah this might turn into a slow build. I don't even have enough time to do water changes on my other tanks. Destiny 2 being out isnt helping me get out of the house and making a trip to ikea. 1 Quote Link to comment

I just took it out of the box and put the Tide on and snapped some pictures and it has sat ever since. I think its an airline hose that goes to the return pump. I will be attaching an air stone to it for emergency situations. Quote Link to comment
SantaMonicaHelp Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 This tank is really unique, waiting for updates! -Paola Quote Link to comment
Tmr8188 Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 Sorry to disappoint. I will finally be putting this tank up this weekend! Slowest build ever! Does anybody have any suggestions on media baskets for this tank? I have grown quite fond of my intank baskets over the years. Quote Link to comment
Chris1987 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Nice looking tank! It sort of reminds me of this tank I found the other day that's also a 7 gallon :D (Image source) Quote Link to comment

Tmr8188 Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 I must say I am a huge fan of the Stax rock. This is the scape I came up with while playing for a few minutes. It looks too symmetrical to me. I will continue to play around with it in the coming days. I was leaning towards black sand. Now I am not so sure. 2 Quote Link to comment
Tmr8188 Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 I quite like this scape. I’ll sleep on it. 2 Quote Link to comment
banasophia Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Those Stax look like they would be really fun to aquascape with... liking your ideas so far, and interested to see this tank in action. Quote Link to comment

I really enjoy the Stax. It’s very easy to work with. If I don’t reuse my ceramic rock from my lagoon in my upgrade I will definitely be using the Stax. Quote Link to comment

AvaS Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I have this tank too! I am running it with a kessil A360 on low low power since I got a really good deal on the light! What pump are you running with the tank, I have been using the stock one as of now but I would like to upgrade so I can have enough flow to support acros. Let me know -Ava Quote Link to comment

Let me know -Ava I am using a hydor pico pump 300 gph. It fits nicely. I got it from amazon for $11.49. Tank is hopefully getting wet today! Quote Link to comment
