  1. You could do it with a 20H, hint hint
  2. No capacity is 5gal, but its 20Lx10Wx6H
  3. Has any one seen a 1/2 a 10gal tank around any LFS. Glasscages.com makes them, but they dont list any for sale.
  4. Nice, remember to feed that little clam, phyto every day.
  5. Tks, highland, I lost the wrasse the other day either jumped or took the overflow ride of death. next time- Ill drill the tank, get a good skimmer first time around and think about the rack design and flow issues.
  6. Thought I would create a thread on my prop tank. I started in Dec. 15L with 10gal sump/fuge and homemade stand. I have made several changes along the way with the tank, including changing the design of the racks, elevating the light more and upgrading to a better skimmer. 15L 10g sump/fuge with baffles Two racks Hurricane filter overflow 2200 Quietone return pump with u-tube return 2 Koralia 1's PH 100W stealth heater Tunze Doc nano skimmer ATO Poly reactor running phosban 150W Sunpod with Phoenix 14K ACjr-coming soon Dose 2-part daily, and had algae issues and surface buildup due to the original design of the top rack, change the rack and improved the flow and surface agiation. So now alot of pics of the progress
  7. Unfortunately I do know what happened and its wasnt his fault. I too am a member their and here and I can say that this forum is much better. Im going to try to make the next meeting even though its a hike for me.
  8. Tks, fighting some GHA now and having a sump custom made to move the equipment into that. I would like to add the following to it. 1. ACJR. 2. Phosban reactor 3. dosing pumps for cal and alk 4. ATO-tired of daily topoff.( I will have this as soon as I get the sump)
  9. there's a couple of nr'ers here, steveoutlaw, professor.
  10. Please take that poor clown out there. 3gal too small for him/her, look at getting a goby to put in
  11. I just noticed that your using Oceanic, 1 cup to 2gal of RO water.
  12. Next time look at the saltmix to see what the recommended amount is to mix salt. Need to to add some Live Rock. Your tank will go through a cycle process. Get a saltwater test kit also to make sure your water parameters are in check. DO NOT ADD anything yet. You should do some research also on saltwater tanks and the cycling process.
  13. Most all in one tanks you can do the same to make a fuge, You can also use a submersible light.
  14. They should be ok, temp will come back down.
  15. Well the old tank was a 10gal so alot better.

  19. Hello, I got into SW about a year ago with FW exp. of about 15yrs. I started out with a 10gal SW tank, How I didnt kill all my livestock I'll never know. I now have a 26gal reef,, 4gal reef, 2.5 gal reef and 15gal frag tank. So about this tank. I started it about 10 months ago with a 2gal Tom's Deco kit. I went away on vacation and had someone watching it for me and they didn't add any topoff water. So I came back to a 2gal tank with 1gal of water in it. Luckly I only losted a ric and one sexy shrimp. I was ready to give up on this tank because the acrylic was a pain to keep clean. Then I found a 2.5gal glass tank with rounded corners in the front. So I moved everything into the new tank. 2.5gal glass tank 18W Current Satellite light 50/50 50W heater HOB filter into a little fuge. 1lb LS 3lb LR Zoas, mushroom, Rics, Yellow polyps, Xenia, Nepthia. Snails 2 Sexy shrimp Pom Pom Crab.
