Nightster's shallow 50g build

Really sweet tank though man. I love shallow tanks.

 

I've been googlin some things and found that stuff, the netting was my first choice. I like the dowel rod idea, might look into it. Thanks about the clowns, i only have one black ice though. Thought id mix it up with a b&w and a black ice. Since ill be putting a lid on it, ill be looking into wrasses too!

 

Just got threw building my skimmer stand, went from 9.75" down to 6.5" hopefully I see an improvement.

 

Nem moved again, thinking about selling it to a guy I know with an established tank. Hasn't seemed happy since the overflow accident. Went to pick up a tank with a friend today from another Houston reefer and ended up with some free frags! Will post up in a bit.

 

Yeah I would seriously think of rehoming that split personality BTA/PITA.

You do not want to risk it nuking the tank since it refuses to stay put. I just do not get it, oh well, best laid plans and all.

 

Well I really would like to have a rbta one day lol. Might sell my lps too, crank up the flow a bit for the sps....

 

Bummer on the BTA. I've been thinking about getting one for my clowns, but have held off for this reason. Hoping it finds that happy place in your tank soon.

 

Couple pics of the frags I got today.

 

I love this thread and constantly check in

 

Did a 10 gallon water change last night, when i get home today I'm going to test my params and probably start dripping kalk. Gonna shoot for around 1 drip every 3-4 seconds. Haven't gotten rid of rbta yet, maybe when the kalk starts to keep the tank a bit more stable perhaps it'll be ok. I got it off the back wall and put it in a spot it hasn't been in yet. Also pointed the return towards the higher flow side of the tank to try and push some of the current from the mp10s away from the rbta. Only time will tell...
