Worlds ugliest tank

[beth]

That looks like snail/pod heaven!

Yeah it's kind of fun having essentially a bug tank. I never would have thought but sometimes even during the day I watch the pods just scurrying around everywhere. Pretty freaky when I break out the magnifying glass.Could be sitting in front of the tank with the thousands of dollars of beautiful stuff, but sometimes it's more fun to watch the bugs and snails. This hobby is making me wierd(er)

beauty is in the eye of the beholder Sammy

Wrassecal, this is just too much to ignore now....we both have pod tanks??? Obviously our souls are bound together in some type of cosmic love that can not be explained. A love created before time itself........a love that can not be denied. Oh, btw nice bug tank.

 

[broomer5]

LOL

Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I...think.
I guess your tank could be considered......um.......pretty.

Wrassecal - you can play in my bug tank anytime

 

[wrassecal]

nicest I have seen

I'm not Sammy but what I do is use my syphon hose to syphon out a couple of gallons (dragging the syphon along the tank walls and sand bed) then add it to the main tank. With no real bio-load on the "pod tank" and all the caulerpa the water params are great. Then I put in fresh aged saltwater. Like doing a water change, only the water goes into the main tank. Once a month. HTH

That's an older pic, no cyano now. I don't really know why those "fuge" tanks get the cyano, but I don't worry about it like I'm worried about the DIATOMS in the main tank right now. Besides I was going for the look of Sammy's tank which I admire endlessly

Sammy I was curious as to what type of filtration you have on your pod tank and if you feed the tank anything? I am interested in setting up an external fuge also.

 

[wrassecal]

Nas19320, Im not Sammy but I bumped this thread for you All I've got on mine is powerhead, a 3 lb live rock, quite a bit of reef rubble, dsb, and about 40 watts of ho lighting. HTH

 

[nas19320]

Thanks for bumping this thread, it's exactly what I was looking for. You've told me pretty much everything I need to know to get started. Do you feed your refuge anything?
