Matt Rogers' Neo Nano Aquarium

Awesome shots Matt! Reminds me of Finding nemo.... Swim over the valley... not through it! LOL.

 

COol! Thanks guys. Then I did a good job. I was going for something more natural.


FYI - I moved the ric away from the halide and in slower current - I forgot you have to acclimate them to light slowly...

 

Looking good, Matt.

 

Thanks Larry!

 

Well I am about to ditch my old Quiet One 3000 sump pump that I pulled from my basement. When it works, it is extremely quiet.

Unfortunately, this original version* pump has a restart rate of about 50% after I turn it off to work in the sump. Unacceptable. Good bye. Going to LFS to buy an Eheim 1260.


* (there is a redesigned one out now)

 

Bummer about needing the new pump, but definately better safe than sorry.
Any updated fulll tank shots with the new additions from this weekends reef empire extravaganza?

 

That's really looking sharp Matt!!!

As far as the Padina is concerned, the reason people don't like it is because if you want to remove it, you have to do some serious scrubbing. It's holdfasts really, really hold well.

 

Great looking scape

 

Aye - the Eheim 1260 is a much better pump. I won't worry when the power goes out now. The new pump is now in.

Going out of town in the AM but more pics next week.

Ahh. Good to know. I actually removed that rock because there were aiptasia hidden in the zoas. I got it out just in time. There was only one loose one on another rock which I covered in kalk paste. For now that rock sits in tupperware in the window with some water until I get my Joe's Juice. No hurry to stick it back in with about 20 aiptasia on it. Man last week I only saw one. I hate those things.

Thanks man. I am digging it.

 

the battery box fuge is sweet idea.. works well. A very nice all-round setup.
