    Fluval Spec 2 gallon. PICS INSIDE!!!

    The caulerpa wasn't intentional, it started as a small 2" strand and I didn't want to remove the rock to get to it because it was in the back. All that is after a month of being in the tank. I also have cheato in the chamber that stores the pump, needless to say, I have never had a nitrate...

    Fluval Spec 2 gallon. PICS INSIDE!!!

    So here is my 2 gallon nano, I had mentioned starting one a LONG time ago and finally started it back up after my first sprang a leak. I do weekly 50% water changes from a reef tank at work, seems to work wonders! The fixture I am using is a Coralife mini, 12W in total, there are 1 bulbs; a...

    Dusky Jaw! Suggestions?

    Alright, I have had this guy for about 2 or 3 weeks now and have grown rather fond of the guy. I feed him frozen krill (thawed out of course) every other day so he can get his rather large gut through his tunnels, which kinda frustrated me at first but the dude has one IMPRESSIVE tunnel system...

    Well, another update. The clown gobby is blind. I feed him nightly before I shut off the light and watching him tonight there was food inches away from him and he never went for it, but, when a piece would float RIGHT in front of him he seemed to take notice but couldn't follow it. I grabbed...

    Fluval Spec 2 Gallon Build Thread!

    Yea, this tank has been a PITA lol. But I am pretty sure I have the leak sealed now. Clown gobby still hasn't eaten yet, he is looking extremely thin, pretty sure that if he doesn't eat in the next day or two he won't make it.

    Fluval Spec 2 Gallon Build Thread!

    New development, there is a small leak coming from the bottom of the front right corner. When I say small, I mean very small, at first I thought it was from water dripping off the lid, as you can see in the picture it builds up on the inside of the lid, but I took it off last night and waited...

    Clown gobby is still alive, but have yet to see him eat. Inside of the tank needs a little cleaning too but still gotta get a nano magnet for it. No algae blooms yet. Here are the pictures of how I have it set up:

    Just a little update, tank is doing great, no algae problems of any kind. Added a tiny clown gobby who will not eat, afraid for the little guy, he was pretty skinny when I got him and if he doesn't eat I'm afraid he is gonna starve. I also added 2 nassarius snails as well and both seem to be...

    Well got the tank in, got it running as well, so far it looks good. I have 3 pictures that I will add here soon, I am on an iPad and not sure how to use this thing fully. I did the surface skimming thing by using a piece of acrylic to block about 60% of the overflow, not sure if I did it...

    Fluval Spec 2 Gallon Build Thread!

    After coming across the Fluval Spec for $42 it was hard to pass up. Finally received it from UPS last night, well, this is what it looked like. So, I called wag.com and told them the situation, they were very understanding about it and had a very quick response. As soon as I called they put...

    Whats your take on this tank?

    Would this tank work though as is for just a small fish, a few crabs and snails. Maybe a shrimp? It sure does look good, but, I'm just worried they set it up to look good to sell them and will take it down once the sales go down. I trust my LFS with all my tank Ned's and concerns, just...

    Whats your take on this tank?

    Yea, I wanted the 2 gallon, I assume you mean 4 and not 40 gallon. They only had 2 fish in it tiny fish, not sure what they were as I hadn't ever seen them before, 2 crabs and 2 snails, and a blood shrimp. They did have some LR in there as well, only 1 or 2 pounds. It looked really great.
