Teeb's 40g Rimless Build

I find it easier to not use flash and turn on normal lighting, trying and keep the camera level with the tank to avoid distortion.

 

Do you know what the par readings are on the lights? Looking to go leds but also don't want to bust the bank with 2 AI Sol fixtures that I am currently looking at. haha

 

Not yet, the local group has a PAR meter they loan out, but I'm pretty far down the list to get it. I'll post the numbers once I have it. So far, seems like plenty of light for my small tank.

 

A few more pics.


The Yasha has finally become comfortable enough to stay out for most of the day.




The orange acans have colored up well.




It's hard to tell from the pic, but the Magicians have sprouted another head.




Cyphestrea is growing and coloring up as well.

 

What type of camera are you using?

Also where did you buy the lights?

 

I'm using a D3000, I've gotten a little better with it. I bought the lights from Cy at Barrier Reef Aquariums. After making several requests to another shop to get them and not getting anywhere, Cy had them on thier way to me within 48hrs. Great guy to deal with.

 

I figured it was time for an update. I've added quite a bit to it. I had a small crash and lost every fish except for my black clown. Everything is back to normal and I got my clown a new friend. I'll be adding a trio of Kupang Damsels in the next week or so and still trying to decide on a pair of Wrasse's that will fit in.

 

Dang that sucks, sadly to say I was a little worried when you said you added the expensive yasha only 10 days after start up, but I'm glad to hear everything has stabilized and the tank is looking good!

 

Love it.

 

The crash was completely my fault. Long story short, I had some skimmer problems and started to get some cyano. I pulled the BP reactor offline for about month. When I got the skimmer fixed, I drained, but didn't rinse the BP and apparently it had built up quite a bit of ammonia. The tank never really went through a cycle. The MB7 fed biopellets really worked well. I don't think my nitrates ever got above 10 throughout the whole process.
