    I traded another tank for the aquapod, no stand yet. Its just sitting on my floor right now. It didn't have anything in the back compartmen and Idk what comes in them. I was gonna add carbon and some other type of media. Im planning on about 20-25lbs of live rock and a custom cuc from reefcleaners. My stocking list will be 2 clowns and a goby pistol shrimp combo. I would like to get some specialized clowns, maybe black onyx or picasso. No real pictures yet, just waiting on a stand.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    I had an aquapod for about 2 years, it was my anemone tank. I really like it better than the other AIO like the biocube and nano because of the open top and dimensions. With the open top though the evaporation in AZ was a nightmare, silly me not figure out to put a ATO on it. What lighting are you going to use?

    OK so I stopped by my lfs to look around. $86 later I got a sweet huge piece of tonga branch. I thought it would fit, but unfortunately I had to break it up. Here's my first attempt at my scape. Im happy with it but I think theres too much goin on. Theres no focal point.

    While I like how many little caves and nooks there are, Idk just seems too sporadic. I'll probably redo it tonight if i get time.

    Well I added some table shrimp, now to go buy a test kit and wait. Im curious how long my cycle will be. I got live sand with the tank and bought live rock so who knows. I did notice a small aptasia anemone this morning though, not fun...
