Sean's 8.5G Rimless Reef - 3/07/2013

Good stuff. I like the rimless look, but the only negative to it is that you can see the water line. I rim would typically hide that if one kept up with water top-offs.

 

Thank you.

I'm going to fill it almost to the top of the tank. But first I need to put wedges under the cabinet so it doesn't rock at all when you walk by it (it's a bit top-heavy now and we live in an old house - so the floor shakes.).

 

I'm liking the view!

 

Just added 2 cerith snails, 12 dwarf ceriths, 3 nassarius vibrex and 2 nerite snails to the tank.

 

Thinking I might go fish-less again?...haven't decided yet...

 

Ohhhhhhhhhh! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Cool bro!

 

I know that Gobies jump, so I'm not sure if they would work in a rimless tank. You can still try if you want, though.

 

I'm just thinking long-term. I've decided I won't be taking the tank with me for fear it cycles again whenever I move. And so, not having fish should make it easier to care for when I am away. I'd like to get some sexy shrimp, but not sure when that will be.

 

I just wish the skimmer was about an inch shorter.

 

I will have to buy another section of conduit tubing to hang the lights from (as you can't unbend this stuff). Fortunately it's only a couple bucks. More pics this weekend!
