Where did you get those living ornaments from? I ♡

 

They're from an outdoor market here in SF. But you can find them pretty much anywhere. I know west elm sell terrarium globes, then you can go to Home Depot or somewhere and by the cactus/succulents

 

And what a great shot! Love this build. I kinda want your house. ...

 

Thanks!

To bad the overflow is only built for 25 gallons tops, but super sleek for a nano for sure. Is it as quiet as they say? I'm having trouble figuring out what you're doing for a return?

This tank makes me want to go much more minimalistic.  I am thinking orange setosa and black mollies like an Oriole theme tank or something.  Pick the one coral I can grow, and dump the rest.

 

How hard is it to get the black mollies on SW?

You see that little circular tube that is open and facing directly at you? Right above the U bend, that is the return.

Dante411 just did it, seemed easy enough

So in post #78 there is a return pipe running behind the drain pipe I guess? That's pretty sleek, I'm impressed.

You can kinda see the return line sticking out a little near the top of the pic.

 

Forgot I had this one on my phone

I did it in just a 5 gallon bucket, acclimating over 48 hours (I think?).
They did great on algae and were my little guinea pigs to make sure my tank was safe, but they get beaten up by everything and don't have the sense to swim away or hide.  :blink:

Even the rental market out here is insane, and we won a war on a town house. We will be moving, just after I got this new one perfectly set up :hammer:

Congratulations on the town house, Brad! Hopefully, you'll be able to settle there a little bit.

Thanks. Luckily it is only like a mile away from our current place, so the move should be pretty easy. Excited to have a little back yard for our dogs; biggest reason why we wanted to move.

I think technically this is a move down, even though it is a town house haha. Going to miss being on the water and the open floor plan. Wall will be coming down, the landlord said I could keep it up, but I rather take it down.

 

We are going tomorrow to the house to talk over everything with the owner, scope out where the tank is gonna go, etc.

 

I've never seen such a crazy rental market : packed open houses, offering the full year in advanced cash (they didn't care), offering above asking price, pet references, pet visit approvals, etc.

This will be the new livingroom I have to work with. Put the tank in front of the left window and have a natural sunlight tank?
