15g cube from the start , pictures all the way - Page 3

tonym10 · 08/13/2005, 09:24 AM

The total was $550 with shipping, not all of the corals are pictured.
2 of the corals were Blastomussa Wellsi, they were $119 each. The brain coral was $39. The rest of the money was for the Acans and shipping. Phishey gave me a deal on 4 Acan pieces with a nice number of heads on each rock instead of buying one piece for $300+

Keep us updated on your tank. Looks like it's gonna be awesome. Have you had any thoughts on your lighting? Do you think they will be strong enough?

tonym10 · 08/20/2005, 02:18 PM

The lights will be strong enough for what I plan to keep. Just acans, wellsi, brain, zoos, mushrooms.

tonym10 · 08/22/2005, 01:53 PM

I just got a box of corals that was suppose to be delivered to me by fedEx on friday, it is now monday. They have been in shipping for 4 dasy now. Couple ricordia and zoos for nano, and a frogspawn for my 75g. I will see later if I throw them out or if they open up.

tonym10 · 08/22/2005, 06:36 PM

I put the corals in cube. The Ricordias and zoos do not seem fazed about being in shipping for 4 days, they all look good, the frogspawn has a chance I would say.

tonym10 · 09/20/2005, 09:04 AM

Today i moved my nano to my work office. So far so good.
Everything seems to have made the ride ok. I just need to get a couple fish now. The corals are all doing well.

tonym10 · 09/21/2005, 12:25 PM

Bicolor blennie, and a yashia goby shrimp pair will be here tomorow, then my nano will be complete.

tonym10 · 09/27/2005, 04:35 PM

Got my randals pistol shrimp and yasha gobie, and bicolor blennie today.
The blennie perched on a rock and did not move, the shrimp made a home in the very back of tank, and the gobie hid in a rock. Hope they come out tomorow. I might need a swimming fish in this tank, any ideas?

tonym10 · 09/29/2005, 08:07 PM

Here is one full tank pic , its a quick pic with a cheap camera, will post better pics over the weekend.

rjwilson37 · 09/29/2005, 10:27 PM

It looks very nice, I hope you Xenia does not get out of hand like mine did in my 55g.

tonym10 · 10/12/2005, 11:10 AM

My Yasha gobie and pistol shrimp paired up. Took them about 1 week, but now they are paired right out in the front of the cube under the rock cave.

rjwilson37 · 10/12/2005, 01:20 PM

Sounds cool, we sure could use some new pictures.

I finished the stand and canopy for my new 90g tank, moved the 55g over to it and switched over to Metal Halides.

pimp2daizzo · 10/15/2005, 09:02 AM

I LOVE YOUR TANK!!!!!!!!!

Thanks
here is a pic of my Yasha and Pistol shrimp.
My cheap work camera, so sorry for quality.

Ludwigia73 · 10/15/2005, 01:19 PM

If you ever plan on having a scallop or clam, ditch the bicolor. They get very aggressive too once they're older. I had one bite me repeatedly every time I put my hand in the tank, then he started taking bites out of my clam and he had to go.

vanmo92 · 10/15/2005, 01:37 PM

nice tank

tonym10 · 10/15/2005, 04:14 PM

Thanks for the heads up Ludwigia , but I will not keep a clam or scallop in this cube, just simple stuff.

Flusher · 10/16/2005, 12:30 AM

That's a phenomenal little tank. My next DIY tank will look more like that - with the "sump" area in the rear. Ha ha. Good job.

tonym10 · 10/18/2005, 03:36 PM

Thanks

dtaranath · 01/21/2006, 08:27 AM

another great creation! any chance some of us locals could swing by the dealership to see the nano in person?

tonym10 · 01/21/2006, 08:46 AM

You bet.
I am right on Rt 222 , in Trexlertown.

dtaranath · 01/21/2006, 10:58 AM

next time i go to something fishy, I'll check to see if you're around.

rjwilson37 · 01/21/2006, 11:34 AM

Where are some up to date pictures, we could sure use some.
