DC's new 12g Aquapod nano reef setup

[dcasey46]

So I took my Koralia #1 out of the 12g. It seemed like the zoo's and rics didnt like the extra flow.

Just got a Viper 150 Watt Clamp HQI for 80!

awesome, cant wait for some new pics

 

[tang master]

pics?

 

[dcasey46]

New pics will come as soon as the light arrives in the mail

Ill be sure to do before and after pics of the stock lighting and the new MH.
Also, Now I can put my cheato in the back chamber for a mini fuge

Ok so unfortunatly the light wont be here until early next week.

However, I have been thinking about possible filtration/fuge options.
Right now I have:
1st chamber: Stock sponge/filter piece
2nd: Floss and chemipure
3rd: floss and purigen.
Would it be a good idea to take out the sponge and put a cup of cheato in the 1st chamber? Or another sort of combination? Thanks!

Light came today!! Check back around 10-11 for pics At work now .

Haha sorry! I have them a schedule so I didnt want to put the lights back on an hour after they just turned off lol.

 

[nissan577]

[dcasey46]

Heres some pics I just took as I installed the new light.

 

[nano-newb1983]

looks freakin awesome man

 

[dcasey46]

Thanks, might have to order cooling fans, too soon to tell. Waiting to see if the temp spikes at all.

 

[nissan577]

loving it man!

sweet! what you wanna get for the tank?

 

[dcasey46]

Right now theres just a zoa frag and a green ric frag. Coming soon I will be adding more rics, and maybe a torch, or frogspawn. It will mainly be rics and zoas with a few other things. The only fish in there are a pair of clowns and I might be adding a goby, not sure yet.
Also, those were quick pics I just snapped in a few mins, better ones will be up soon!

 

[nissan577]

well they came out great!

 

[dcasey46]

Thanks, the rics are looking a whole lot better already! Love the light so far.

So the power went out and I was looking through my 55 with a flashlight when I noticed a pretty big bristle worm (a fat about 4-5 incher)

I took him out right away but I still have a redicilous amount of small bristles in there. I know they can be good for the tank, but I dont like them. Any ideas on how to take them out? My sixline is lazy
