First was awesome so I’m sure this one will be too- great freebies. Last week I received coral from Coral Cove Online, great packaging and coral and they have good prices in their online store. Free pods were included. I only live a couple hours from them so the priority mail package was received next day Quote Link to comment

I also purchased the fluval nano, mostly b/c the LFS had it for 20% off the $82 price tag. Bonus is the controllability! I'm excited to see what the little light can grow! I'll definitely have to keep an eye how it works out for you as well (; 1 Quote Link to comment
mariahranch Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 Woo hoo! The light arrived earlier than predicted!!! On these settings the photos are very true to life on color! Note that I added another itsy bitsy gsp cutting from another frag which is a different shade of green. 10 Quote Link to comment
mariahranch Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 Latest tank pics! Adding a little at a time. Not really sure I’m going to like the sps but I’ll leave it a while and see how it does. 6 Quote Link to comment
mariahranch Posted April 19, 2019 Author Share Posted April 19, 2019 Needless to say, Aqua-SD has delivered the goods and the tank looks even better! I’ll post a new update in a few days when everything has a chance to settle in 😃 1 3 Quote Link to comment

Wendy Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 @mariahranch Oh gosh, those new arrivals have to wait their turn... Not much room in a pico to acclimate it all at once, hey!?!? Hope everything looks in great shape & excited to see what you have there! 1 Quote Link to comment
mariahranch Posted April 19, 2019 Author Share Posted April 19, 2019 I did something quite ridiculous for stocking on this tank so I want to see what happens after the first few days 😱 Everything looks great so if this one piece doesn’t do well it’s cuz I was too far out of line. Tee hee hee. I don’t think any of you could possibly guess Quote Link to comment
mariahranch Posted April 19, 2019 Author Share Posted April 19, 2019 This was one of the much appreciated freebies! 6 Quote Link to comment
mariahranch Posted April 19, 2019 Author Share Posted April 19, 2019 I’m hoping this mini guy doesn’t permanently settle here in the shade 🤔 Quote Link to comment
mariahranch Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 2 new inhabitants! Current livestock list has been added to original post 3 Quote Link to comment
mariahranch Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 So here are some pics of the very outgoing sharknose goby. He loves perching on the top rock plus hopping around wherever he can get a good view. This is only my second type of goby- I have a ranidofrdi in another tank but her hides immediately when he sees people. There is another sharknose in this tank but that one doesn't care to show off. Also decided now was a good time to post an April FTS. The tank is starting to get a little "ugly" but I think it will settle down soon enough 7 Quote Link to comment
mariahranch Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 Happened to be “in the city” today and couldn’t resist another inhabitant. Nicest little black and white juvi clown I’ve seen there before. 3 Quote Link to comment

vlangel Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I love the name of your thread! Looks like you have started this tank with guns blazing! 1 Quote Link to comment
mariahranch Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 I finally removed the big snail after completing major clean up duty and replaced with two smaller asters snails. Big guy was just having too much fun knocking everything over 🤣. Hubby could not stand the “ugly” neotherm heater so it was replaced with a new marina 10w version and I’m working on designing a diy skimmer solution. In the mean time I re aquascaped the tank because the maxi mini nem was attached to the neotherm and wouldn’t come out of hiding. Had to set him straight! ill try to get better pics tonight because no one was happy with the changes last night. I also removed the 2nd shark nose goby because he/she was getting bullied by the other one. In other news, I have found the ato to be very convenient and am glad I used it for this build 4 Quote Link to comment
