irishtexan Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I setup a 2.5G tank for my desk at home. I have a 20W 50/50 Coralife bulb over it. There is about 2 lbs of LR, and 2lbs of LS. The LR and most of the sand are from an established tank so the cycle shouldn't be too long. It has been cycling for about 1 week now. I am going to be keeping blastos(I am counting on you Max! lol), a small neon green and pink frogspawn, xenia(on its own island), GSP(on its own island), some rics and shrooms, and of course zoo's! I just did a little water change so the water level is a little low. Now for the FTS: LMK what you think about it! texx Link to comment

Argent Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 it's not overly obvious from the picture -- but I can see it now that he's pointed it out. Tank still has lots of potential -- can't wait to see it stocked. And I can't wait till I get my digital camera so I can update all my posts finally! Link to comment
irishtexan Posted September 24, 2006 Author Share Posted September 24, 2006 Thanks Argent! It means alot coming for you! I can't wait to get it stocked. I bought the frogspawn today at MACNA(which was awesome by the way!). So I will be adding it soon. texx Link to comment
irishtexan Posted September 24, 2006 Author Share Posted September 24, 2006 Today I went to MACNA in Houston. It was awesome. I got some pink/blue zoo's, a neon green and pink frogspawn, and an unheard of frag from Eric Borneman! Here are the awesome freebies! and here is some new, cool technology/tanks: texx Link to comment

FryedFish Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 the zoos will take awhile but you should show a pic of the Froggy extended XD lucky you argent! XD we don't have a very good reef club here Link to comment

Argent Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I'm getting some more RPE's, some more pink palys, Bam Bam's, and some cool green zoas. Problem is I don't know where I'm going to put them all -- my tanks are mostly full. Link to comment

irishtexan Posted September 24, 2006 Author Share Posted September 24, 2006 Thanks FF! I like the rockwork too. I might add the CU tomorrow depending on the test results. It should be almost done cycling because almost everything came from an established reef. texx Link to comment
PhatSOB Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 tank looks great, looking forward to seeing a new FTS with your new frags. Link to comment
Argent Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 that tall piece reminds me of the tall piece i have in my 6 gallon. Hopefully the test results come back good and you can start stocking it! Link to comment
