My Mr. Aqua 12g Long!
I think it's about time I post my newest tank on here.
I bought the tank from Aquatic Warehouse for $75 with tax. Rocks/Sand/Water added first week of November. And just finished my cycle this week. Not sure what else to say about tank right now. Basically what you see is what's there. I'm planning on my live stock to include crab based CUC, Skunk shrimp, and a Fire shrimp. But I'm having a REAL HARD TIME figuring out what fish to get. I want something with the personality of a Flame Angel. I wish i could put one in, but I'm afraid my tank is just too small for one. As for coral, I plan to only house softies for now and maybe try a few SPS in the future. No chemical filtration. Just LR, LS, Macro, and pods. Will add a skimmer if I need to, but I plan on 25% water changes weekly. Still need to add an ATO so if anyone has one for sale please shoot me a PM. Please feel free to add comments and feedback! Equipment: Mr. Aqua 12g Long (2) 7 LED PAR38 Bulb from RapidLED.com Coralife 20w Bulb (for fuge) DIY 10g Fuge Eshopps PF-Nano Overflow Eheim Compact 1000 Return (2) Koralia Nano DIY Stockman Standpipe Livestock: 20lbs LR 15lbs Caribsea Aragonite Pictures:   Ikea bookcase  Ikea light stands  Par38  Waiting for sump equipment  Running!  Overflow was just too loud for a bedroom tank  added more rock to DT and fuge  Tank as it sits now. |

I have a 25 aqua system that I am getting ready to set up. I plan on putting some red and purple firefish in it. I have been reading a lot of posts that say they like to jump. Your tank is pretty open. You probably need some non jumpers.
