Well It has been a while since I sold off my last tank so i started up something new, little simpler to keep!
It took a while but I finally decided to bite the bullet and get one, this is a CAD tank and light, T5's 4 lamps with individual reflectors. I'm still in the process of tweaking it out but here is the basic design.

It is still is in the early stages but progressing slowly.

It needs a good cleaning but here is a shot a few months ago with my first two corals and two fish, small clown and bi-color!
I'll have to take some more recent photos of the growth and fish once I clean her up some!

Looks good Scooty!! What kind of substrate is that?? You know, I don't know much about substrate! Bare bottom or nothing!!

That is some back yard gravel and tar pavement rubble!

LOL! PaulB would be proud of you if that was true!

Very cool Scott! BTW, what coral?

You know, I wouldn't put it past you LOL! Sort of looks like you got a bag of white gravel and black gravel and mixed it together LOL! Decided on a skimmer for this thing yet or still holding off? Also, what about the flow? Bumping it up any more than it is?

 

[Scooterman]

I do plan on a skimmer but not sure when. I have a Nano Hydor Koralia in there right now, I tried the K1 but it was very obtrusive!
I'll have to take an updated pick Frankie, the corals was just frags and I haven't added anything else to the tank.

Let me help you DIY that puppy!! You know I'm ready to chop up a tank without a second thought! We can add more flow and hide the pump!! . Well if I end up getting the same tank as I had planned initially, we'll see how far I go with it in terms of changing it up a bit.

Good I'll let you destroy yours first! :heh:

Sounds good. You know I don't think twice. Remember I drilled the bottom of my aquapod :lol:.

Well, enough chit chat. Looking forward to more pics as they come.

Hey u like ur CAD system? I got some CAD fuge lights and they totally bugged out on me! By bugged i mean they stoped working!
Also as far as skimmer goes have you looked at the hydor slimskims! They are internal skimmers and it would prob fit in the back chambers of ur tank! =)
I just got one and its awsome!

Well haven't had issues with the lights yet lol but I may upgrade them one day. I need a skimmer but there is so many options I'm not sure what I want to do.
Thanks for the input though, I love the tank for the price & the lights work LOL about all I can say so far.
