Set my mom up a tank for M-day. Got about 20 lbs of liverock from my LFS to get it started up. After everything settled I noticed some aipitasias, working on getting rid of them. This little guy showed up however. It seems to stay exposed during day and night , gets blown around pretty good by...

Picked up quite a few corals this weekend... Pink Fungia (Pictures don't do it justice, they just don't capture the brightness of the colors) Orange/Multicolored Ricordia Two WaterMelon Zoa Frags Insane Yellow Zoas Candy Canes Been Feeding the Duncans, They have really opened up and...

Had to catch some fish that I took back to my LFS (Yellow Damsels....) and ended up having to remove all my rocks/coral. I was much happier with the end result of the new rockscaping.

Originally Posted by WorrBaller jcovercash, I just built a PVC overflow and was wondering how you started the siphon. Also how are you sure that when the siphon breaks (an air bubble forms at the top of the tube) that it'll start right back up? TEST, TEST, and TEST!!! I tested mine many times...

Originally Posted by WorrBaller I love the 14k (at least from the pictures i've seen), I wouldn't change a thing. It seems to have the perfect balance of white and blue that I like. Your tank makes me want to upgrade my lighting lol. The Sunpod was the best money I have spent on the tank

Originally Posted by spanko Don't you just love the shimmer from metal halide? YES!!! And worrballer that's just the stock 14000k bulb, I can't wait to upgrade to some of the better bulbs.

Originally Posted by WorrBaller Just a regular 29 gallon with a foam background. The red section would sit inside of my DIY overflow which is 5" Just make sure the up leg out of the tank and down leg outside of the tank are equal length and it should work. Make sure you glue your test model...

Originally Posted by WorrBaller Sorry I wasn't clear I think. I'm talking about the whole part inside the tank. The first "u" as it were. I want it to look exactly like this picture. I'm trying to cut down on the equipment that you can see in the tank and doing this would rock my socks...

Originally Posted by WorrBaller I had a question about your overflow. Is it possible to have the drain (the first tube the water flows down) be 5" long? Or does it need to be longer? In my sample tests the longer the upwards drain inside the tank was the better it worked. Now if your up tube...

Picked up a few more frags recently. My Favorite so far.... ORA Duncan The Maximus clam my GF had to have.... A Green Zoanthid Frag that im not sure exactly what it is... Two purple Mushrooms Frags GSP? right? And Finally FTS

Little update. Got the 150W Sunpod the other day and my light for my fuge. Shot of the whole setup FTS 'Fuge section of the sump with the Coralife 2x9W CF (6700K) turned on My Mushrooms (Look awesome under the Blue LEDs BTW), and Zoo's have been thriving and really opening up/growing the past...

Originally Posted by NanoMantis I would like to point out aswell that modifying it more than likely voids the warrenty. I know with the oceanic biocube if it isnt even on an oceanic stand it voids the warrenty. They seem to be pretty anal about it. What is their to Warranty on the tank? Other...

Originally Posted by NanoMantis I am going to be that guy but doesn't having external filtration sort of defeat the simplicity of having an all inclusive nano such as the aquapod? Why not get 30 cube and put a sump under that instead? I am sure it would be less expensive even after buying...

Picked these up at my LFS today. Orange Polyps Metallic Green Mushrooms The Mushroom rock is nice. It has quite a few feather dusters growing on the back side. They are really tiny though. you can see one in the picture.

Got the sump completed and got my heaters set. Temps have been staying 79* solid now both at night and when the lights are on. Finally nice to have that worked out. Got a few pieces of live rock in with the sand in the sump (rock not in pictures), and also got a fission nano skimmer (got a good...

Well when I got home from work tonight I turned the pump back on and opened the ball valve for the drain line and it started right back up . Hopefully I never have to worry about it working should the power fail, but I have pretty good faith in it from my real world testing today. Im headed to...

Its up an running right now, pretty quiet too for what it is. Im fixing to head out to work though so ill probably shut it down so i can monitor it more before leaving it alone... LOL

Here is the sump I built out of a 20L tank.
