Gonna try just coral and cuc. Might do a goby or clown, just one though. Don't really want to but the misses wants it lol.

[rage]

I wanted the cast of Finding Nemo but in my 125G, I can only have clown fish, royal gramma, regal tang, yellow tang, cleaner shrimp. The others are either too big, too hard to keep, or incompatible with corals.
Your Pico tank can house the 1st two at best.

i don't know dilly about saltwater livestock. So maybe you guys can help me with that lol. Or else the wife is gonna make me put in the cast of finding nemo. )

Awesome start! LED sounds sick! You should make a How-to thread on how you put it together.
What are your plans on livestock?

I'm using an aquaticlife 24" T5HO for now until my leds come in. I'm planning on making a led fixture. Bought 50 bucks worth of heatsink + aluminum .250 sheet stock + $200 bucks worth of leds + drivers and junk.

I woulda just gotten a HQI but with a tank like that, I really didn't wanna have to deal with salinity swings from all the evaporation. Led = win. Hopefully.

This is the new aquascape up with my 36" marineland led light fixture on there just to see how the leds are gonna look. This is about 5 leds shining down on it. My new light is going to have 6 whites and 6 blues.



Took alot of live rock out, tank is too small. It woulda been too much of a hassle to get to things the way it was. Let me know what yall think.

I had a itch, that I had to scratch. So I headed over to HAW and got this little number. The guys over at HAW are always badass. I'd go there every day if I didn't live so far. I'm a saltwater nub, but after looking at everyone's reef setup. I just had to get me one. I live in an apartment so i'm sorta tight on space already (not to mention I already have an ADA 60p and ADA 90p). Was trying to get another tank in the bedroom, but the wifey shot that down quick. My only choice left.... Nano/Pico

So here we are...

ADA mini-L
10lbs live sand
10lbs live rock

Day #1 New tank


Day #2 New Sand and Live Rock

+5 hours


Day #3 Clear Water + New Toy


Little bit of rescaping


I just rescaped it again. I'm just not happy with what it looks like. If anyone got any tips or criticism, don't hesitate to let me know. No plans on any fish in there, just coral and cuc. The wife wants nemo..... but yea...
