I know someone who bought one and likes it. He did some research first and said to watch out for poor wire connections. Not a big deal if you are...
Sand and salt. Feels good.
Just use a five or ten gallon tank as your sump. T5s do get warm, but not nearly as much as power compacts or metal halide. If it gets to be an...
If it wasn't so expensive, I would be tempted to use it for a small freshwater setup.
I would skip the bioballs and get a skimmer.
I ran chem-clean in my aquapod about a year ago after a long battle with cyano. It worked great and I haven't had an outbreak since. Scary to use,...
That's the funniest thing I have seen all week! How much do these things go for? How big are they? It's like an underwater city in reverse. Edit:...
Or, it could be a pistol shrimp. I always wanted a pistol/goby pair.
Cool tank. I don't think I have ever seen a 12 gallon before.
Awesome! K+ for venturing into the unknown.
I just got a job offer on the other side of the state. Not looking forward to moving the reef.
Perhaps a battery backup?
Everyone says to go bigger. Why not get something small and enjoy the added challenge of a nano? You can afford to go crazy on a smaller tank....
Great start! Any chance of getting a peek under the hood? Plumbing, filtration, lights?
The tank has been running with fresh water for about a week and it is losing about 1/2 gallon of water a day to evaporation. It looks like I will...
I guess it could work. You would have to be very exacting on the fit so the inside glass doesn't crack. I am not sure if the extra plywood cost...
I'm with AZdesertrat. Why cool the tank when you can cool the whole house? Then everyone gets to be comfortable.
So if you had a light loving species on the sand (say a clam) and you didn't want to cook the whole tank to satisfy the needs of a single specimen,...
This tank is off to a great start! Look forward to watching it develop.
Color temperature matters as well. Shoot for somewhere close to 12000 k.
