well its not really a fuge it a hang on back filter converted into a fuge.heres a thread that tells you how to make it http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh...highlight=2.5g copy and paste that if your interested i dont know how to make a link.today it actually became a fuge because i got my cheato and set up my grate in front of it so nothing gets out.pics:

i also just got a new aquaclear 30 powerhead so now i have flow on both sides of the tank.
thanks crashedin0,yea i read a whole lot before i set up because my last tank(55 gal) i didnt read up on and eventually it just got really bad.the fish store telling me the wrong thing and using tap water,ect. then finally i found this site and another two and i eventually learned i did everything wrong so i broke the tank down and sold all of it and now 5 months later and a lot of research i set this one up.
here is a pic of my zoos that came in as hitchhikers and there doing really well.

there sort of a navy blue almost purple color with an orange inside.

well today i went and got another piece of 3 pound rock for my final piece and boy did i get a more than i can handle deal.on the rock there are 3 or 4 polyps of riccordia.i chizled the piece they were on off very lightly and i right now am drip acclimating it.ive heard there a pretty hardy coral so i hope they do well like my zoos are doing. :mad:
any suggestions on what i should do i cant bring it back to the store because i bought the rock from a fish wholesale store.ill see how it does and if anything ill bring it to a lfs and get credit for it.

AWESOME TANK!! I am about to convert my fw 10 gallon into a nano. You're tank is a dream!! Is it okay if I use the exact same setup with the same livestock?? It's AWESOME!! If you order any of your corals please tell me where. Awesome tank and keep up the GREAT work! (What lighting do you have? pc, mh...)

NJ- tell me, what kind clownfish is that? If you don't know the taxonomic name, at least, what was it labeled in the store? It looks SOMEWHAT like an "Onyx" that they can sell for as much as $75 in some places...

I'd love to know where you got that light setup. I'm working on a bow-front 16 gal tank and I'd like to get a nice light setup with leg stands like yours! my email is zim at mwv dot org.
