    15 gallons of awesome.

    You can get the screen from bulkreefsupply.com. This is the 1/4" size it also comes in 1/2". Yeah I hope it works out fine. I just got more epoxy so I can finish it. I wanted something I could take off easy for pictures but stays on nice and snug and this should do both great.

    Yeah I was like that for a long time then I got bit by the SPS bug and have a hard time going soft lol.

    The Super Spec II, SPS dominant

    Thanks, I gotta replace the one on the bottom right though hoping to find an encrusting SPS to replace it with I'm looking for a setosa. I bought a tiny vertex simplex magnet cleaner and it just barely squeeks by the lower right coral.

    15 gallons of awesome.

    Yeah I took the rim off since I had to cut the glass anyway but I kept the rim in good shape because I'm epoxying some clear netting into it. I put the top on so you can see. This was no where near as easy as I had imagined it would be in my head. I had hoped to use some super glue gel to...

    T5 fixture halfway fell into tank (while unplugged)!! Any tips to save it??

    Yeah definitely make sure you get that saltwater rinsed off as dried salt on electronics is a great fire starter.

    Oh and I'm going to create a mini reactor for carbon. Skimmer will be a Aquatic Life 115 or a Remora Pro with mag 3.

    Thanks for following along :) I have a 10 gallon sump that has been running on a 10 gallon setup for about 8 months I'm going to steal that and connect it to this so no cycle again. The sump has had about 10+lbs of rock sitting in it all those months too so most of that will go into the...

    Yeah the tank has been up for over 10 days now and no color loss on the SPS so far but like I said i've kept it VERY blue and have been increasing brightness 1 step every 7 days.

    Well in the beginning! I walked into petco and they had the 15 gallon sitting in their $1 per gallon sale tank pile so I figured I would see if they would honor it since 15 gallon tanks usually aren't included in the sale probably due to them being overbuilt for their size compared to the rest...

    15 gallons of awesome.

    I have grown to love the word awesome. I have several corals from my other tanks that will go in here. I built all of the overflow myself with the exception of the clip on overflow teeth which were made on a 3d printer via Estanoche. I do love firefish and have yet to have one so that will...

    15 gallons of awesome.

    I'm thinking LPS/Softies and some BTA [;)] Standard 15 AGA 24"x12"x12", But I cleaned up the silicone in front and removed the top but not for long as the top will be fitted with mesh for jumper deterrent system. Tank will be T5 driven for now 4x 24" ATI bulbs, perhaps some LED actinic strips...

    The Super Spec II, SPS dominant

    I really love this bulb but I would like to replace one of the whites with a red and perhaps a neutral white and 4500k ish to make it more full spectrum. As it is though I love the color and adjust ability of the bulb but i want to make sure I can get the most colors out of the SPS. I have...

    Ordered it online awhile ago. They are definitely one of my favorites. And a bit of goby on the glass.

    Why thank you! I enjoy the small tanks you see the things you miss in a larger tank.

    Thanks :) Canon T1i on manual 1/20, f7.1, ISO100, AWB and just correct color via the windows image editor. Colors are pretty dead on but without correction they looked a bit purple.

    Hello

    Wishing you luck, but only with your checkbook as the marine hobby can be very addicting! I've had freshwater for almost 25 years and while it still holds a place in my heart marine tanks really steal the rest of you and threaten to never give it back. Enjoy the life that includes over 70% of...
