So I finally got around to taking a few pics of my 10g, which has been up for about a year now ('finally got around' b/c I am a little anti-technology and "my film camera works just fine thank you"). I wish I could provide the history of this tank, starting from day 1 like others have done (those are cool:happy: ) but I never really thought I'd become so adicted to this site. Anyway, it's a 10g with 20# LS, and at this point I am canabolizing the LR for the 20L I started so I don't know how much--maybe 10# at this point. I run an AC 150 I ran when I started the tank, but now it is the pump for the 10g fuge below the main (thanks to Brooklyn Johnny for that idea!!). Water current is controlled with a powerhead, and mini water pump. I do 10% changes every sunday, top with RO water, and dose once a week with B Ionic. Levels are pretty good, however, PH could be more stable--but isn't that always the case. Lights are coralife 96w quad which I am so happy with. I recently purchased a digital thermometer with the probe imbedded in the far right hand corner of the tank away from the heater (heater isn't out of the main and in the fuge due to heat loss on the return flow, which I never did figure out why). I've been fighting red algae which you'll note in the bottom right of the first photo with a decrease in lighting period (6hrs) and controling the amount of food I give--almost under control. Inhabitants: 2 A Ocellaris, fire fish, peppermint shrimp, emerald crab, 2 Turbo Snails, 1 margarita snail, 6-8 blue legged hermits, three astrea snails, elegance coral, watermellon mushrooms, and orange center zoos (oh ya, and the aptasia I'm fighting at the moment).
