NYC joes nano office tank

Nyc Joe · 01/25/2012, 10:31 PM

Hi all. Have a 6 gal fluval edge tank. Converted to SW. Had it running for a while at home and brought it to work with me.

Got some nanocustoms LEDs for it and got addicted.
Heres my tank in all it's little glory.

Thanx

My lil nemo.
He hosts a Duncan.

This is what it started as.
Had a bangaii cardinal that didn't get along with anyone. So I used this as a jail.

Thanx

Some shots of the LEDs. Very very well made. Best gift ever. Found out that nanocustoms went under.
Pretty sad.

Thanx

Dang, looks great! The scape and corals make it look way bigger then a 6g, well done!

Awesome! Is that a custom made LED fixture or was it made specifically for the Edge tanks? It fits perfect. How often do you have to top off?

Nyc Joe · 01/26/2012, 10:07 AM

The nanocustoms Led is made specifically for the edge.
it goes on the lip. fit is great.

I top off twice a week.
usually Monday and thurs.
but i have a gal of water under my desk.
really easy since im right next to it.
usually do it right before feeding.

Thanx everyone!

I have the same tank, also in my office at work. Same little circulation pump, mounted in almost the same place. Same heater, all I am missing is that awesome light. I keep checking these edge builds to see what people are using for light, looks like I missed the boat on the nanocustoms unit. Bummer.

Floowid-
If you google- edge led savior
You may find another light. Still great quality. Its a good bright led light.

Also I kinda hate the powerhead.
Makes noise intermittently.
Want to get a korallia nano.

Thanx

Floowid · 01/26/2012, 10:56 PM

Yeah I noticed the noise. Unplug it and plug it back in until its quiet. I want a better powerhead too, but I don't want anything bigger. Ill check out that light, thanks for the suggestion.

Nyc Joe · 01/28/2012, 01:12 PM

Yea I thought the power head would be quiet. Ehh.

Gonna move over to the koralia nano. Think that will fit good. Maybe even hide it so it's not so obvious.

Want to do a mp10. But the price is slowing me down!

Thanx

Found this thread. Let me update it.

Soooooo
These are olddddd pics. Grabbed some coral from my big tank at home.
Lots of zoas grew in!
Also added a frogspawn and a Duncan.
The clown hosts the Duncan.
Looks pretty sweet now.

Nice Edge. Love the nanocustoms light.

The Rio Reef · 07/11/2012, 08:09 PM

Setup and tank look nice - any updates?

Nyc Joe · 12/23/2017, 06:15 PM

Wow. 5 yrs later.
Back from the dead.
Tank died due to a heater frying everything.

Light is for sale.

Had a great run. One of my favorite tanks.
On to an Elos mini at home.
Downgrading from my 60 cube in the for sale section.
