Got a 12 gallon aquapod for my birthday!!! Im pretty excited about it, it will be going on my nightstand beside my bed. I decided to try a nano again, just wanted something larger than the 5 gallon, i didnt trust leaving a tank as small as 5 gallons for my parents to take care of when i went on a trip.

I got 16lbs of nice live rock for the tank already, and got some nice fine grain oolictic sand. Really looking forward to getting it set up, it will be at my doorstep tomorrow afternoon!!!
I already have a some nice zoas going into it, some yumas, and a REALLY nice acan frag. Its orange with a green mouth

thanks guys, im looking forward to getting some more frags in it. The rock is full of hitch-hikers. Ive seen multiple brittle stars around 1-2 inches across, lots of worms and other things, so im thinking those should really help keep it clean.
I also took some of the black film off the back, and am making a fuge in one of the filtration compartments. Going to just shine the light through the glass (since the film is off). That should keep params under control.
I plan on getting alot more pics up soon, but thanks for the quick comments

well no new pics, the tanks is going through its algea stage, and i dont want any pics of that up, but they will come soon. I did add a tiny candy cane frag, and a frag of a frogspawn i got at a local frag swap(guy was selling a 14 head frogspawn for 30$
, so i cut a small head off, and its in the top of the tank.
I am going to continue to slowly add frags, i really enjoy watching this little tank!
I was wondering, i added a fuge in one of the back chambers, i just stripped off the black plastic on the glass, and put a small lighit behind the tank to shine thrrough the glass onto the chaeto. I was wondering if anyone else has done this, and if it worked very well?
