Tamberav Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 My theme will be "Growth". Going to add frags and see what they look like in 365 days if I make it. No colonies...no instant reefs.... Just want to see if I can get things to grow and fill in over time... Exception being things that can't be easily fragged like plate corals and such. Hoping to take more frequent photos then I usually do to document the growth or maybe lack of...if I fail my own theme! 7 Quote Link to comment

Decided to order a Marineland 5g AIO because it's super inexpensive at 60 bucks and has a great lid. Plus I don't see people using them so let's she what she's got to offer! Are those the portrait tanks? Really nice looking. 2 Quote Link to comment

SeaFurn Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Cool! I was thinking about something like this just to see if I could get zoas to grow. What light will you be using? Quote Link to comment

Lingwendil Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Good luck man, I like my portrait, great size/shape, and reasonable amount of space in the back for things. The filtration setup is unremarkable stock but can be easily enough improved upon 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment
Tamberav Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 Haven't decided where in the house I will set the tank up yet but here is some Chick-fil-A Polynesian sauce 😛 9 3 Quote Link to comment

The only bad part is hauling water upstairs so thank goodness the tank is small! My husband got me the lamp as a gift and he leaves it on every night as I get home from work at 4am. I used to stumble around in the dark. A $12 dollar lamp ended up being one of my favorite things. 6 Quote Link to comment

Tamberav Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 Super glued a mesh back to the cartridge holder so I can drop media like carbon in it. A fancier person would have put a piece of acrylic though but it works! I will use the cartridge in the front for the cycle and then cut off the carbon/mesh and stuff it with floss after. 6 Quote Link to comment

Those were the dead ones I found but I am sure there are live ones if there are dead ones. Not sure what I will do with them. Sump some probably. I think most look like red emeralds though. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Agreed that is kind of what I meant. That many dead should mean some alive also. I think you will have a ton of life. Probably be finding stuff months from now. 1 Quote Link to comment
