10G nano and 12G aquapod w/ pics

Here is my new 12g aquapod I bought as is. Currently it has a 6 line wrasse, some soft coral, snails crabs and the stock lighting. Tank was running for 6 months prior to me getting it. I saved as much water and everything else remained in water during the move, so it should cycle to bad. I expect something though. I also have a 10g nano I started 1 week ago. Just as white as can be right now. I had this tank running but had some hard times to I took it down. Now it is back up. Currently it has a 72w t5 fixture on it and a aquaclear 110 I converted into a small refuge. I had 2 par30 leds over the nano but am gonna see if I can make them work on the aquapod. if not I will switch and put the t5 on the aquapod and the Leds back on the nano. Just wanted to post and show where I am right now.

 

very nice! I would try breaking the rock apart to make some hiding places for the wrasse, I heard they like lots of caves overhangs etc.

 

ok, I was just doing some cleaning on the 12g aquapod. I had the top and guess what...... there is a clownfish trapped in the return area. The guy thought it was dead. nope still alive, however I have NO clue how to get him out of there now. Anyone have some thoughts?

 

72Watts? Did I read that right? Man that seems like an awfull lot of light on a 10 gallon tank. When I ran my 24 gallon aqua pod I used 36 watts of t5 ho. Your fish are gonna need some sunglasses.As far as rescuing the fish try putting a small net down to the bottom. Shut the pump off. Add a little flake food when he comes up to eat it raise the net. Good luck.

 

sure is a lot of light. once I made a plan for a 30 gallon cylinder frag tank(shallow) with 418 watts of MH T5 and PC;D maybe it will house sps. perfect for some clown gobies to.or some clams.
