hello all, been a while since i posted here. here is a link to my old journal:
cuttles and clams thread
sadly, that little guy did not make it and in june of this year, i took a break from the hobby. thankfully, i have decided to come back by setting up a larger version of that tank in the linked journal.
the only difference now, it is a 150 gallon tall rimless tank that will be all biological filtration. it will even be lit by sunlight from solar tubes.
i will be growing all kinds of macro algae and some mangroves for now. in a couple of months i will be looking for some captive raised S. bandensis to add. down the road i will keep some lower light corals and possible a clam or two.
here is my progress so far:
stand i built to match other furniture in our house- only 20" tall
brought the tank home yesterday
added DSB and water as well as molding to finish it out
this morning the water was nice and clear thanks to my home made water clearer upper - that plastic container with a powerhead and some foam
here it is after adding the 100 or so pounds of LR - water clouded up a bit again
