less than an hour from start to finish.... includes the mod and aquascaping and filling the tank.

Here is another photo of the GSM's. The male was doing his submissive dance.

and here is the back area of the aquapod. It has an Aquaclear running carbon right now as well as the heater. So far I've not had any heat issues with the aquapod and actually the heater runs quite often to keep it at 79 degrees. I'll be adding a Tunze nano skimmer tomorrow so I'll post pictures once it's installed.

Brings my wedding ceremony back to mind...

"She who must be obeyed" is very tolerant and supportive of my hobby. Keeps me out of the casinos:lol:

*laff*

well..... don't know what to say about that one.

Looks great Matt! There's tons of space back there to do a few things! Hmm....

 

[Krish]

BTW, are you using a nipple on that bulkhead to connect the maxi jet?

 

[mattseattle]

I use this to screw into the 1/2" bulkhead and then place a piece of tubing onto the maxi-jet and slide it on.

and there is plenty of space to do a ton of things! you just have to be resourceful.

 

[Krish]

Cool thanks Matt, and I am resourceful! You see me get one of those things and you'll see what all they can do

 

[mattseattle]

I'm trying to stay simple or I could add a sump then you have all the room in the world.

What size was that barbed fitting Matt out of curiosity?

 

[mattseattle]

1/2" tubing

 

[Krish]

Cool...Thanks

So here is my latest purchase for the Nano. It's a 1/20 hp JBJ chiller that just came out recently. I thought my JBJ 1/4 hp chller was quiet but this thing you can not even hear. It's so compact as well.

cute - its so tiny. Hey where is the anemoney and clowns? creepin on the back of the rocks?

 

[mattseattle]

of course the anemone moved to the back.... so now my tank looks bare in front photos.

so the chiller works well - it dropped the pod down 2 degrees in about 20 minutes and it's dead silent!

i debated whether to try a peltier type chiller but though i better stay with the tried and true compressor type.
