Jay's 20"x20"x20" Cube

So Picked this guy up off of craigslist the other day and it was exactly what I was looking for. With my schedule these days, I needed a nano that was All-in-one if I was going to stay in the hobby. So about the tank, its basically a solana 34 gallon but without the black silicone. Appearantly this was custom built by some one and if by chance this person is on RF id love to talk to you about this tank. The back filtration compartment is almost exactly like the Solana 34. Its on the Solana stand and has the Solana 34 Disco ball 150W halide set up. So this thread will document my progression.

Nice setup! Glad you found a better bulb! Looks great!

thanks, I was at barrier reef and they had the Pheonix bulb and that was the bulb I wanted anyways so I got it. If you still need some live rock we can work something out.

Just added a new guy to my tank. Hes a colored angler. Bad pic but its really cool to see him stalk guppies and hang is angler out, then bam snatches them up.

I've had quite a few anglers over the years, by far my favorite fish. Where did you pick this guy up? A little tip: Whenever transporting an angler out of the tank, do not take them out of the water, if they gulp air they can not expell it. It might not show up for quite awhile, but ultimately will kill them.

I got this guy at the Tacoma Petco. They have some oddball stuff every once in awhile and for a decent price. I have always wanted a red one from Wet Pets but when I saw this guy I had to get him.

 

[noworries]

Mind if I ask what you paid at Petco?

 

[jaygalindo]

I think it was like $39.99
