ZacharyR. Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I recently moved to Austin for work and don't have a ton of time or space right now but still wanted a reef setup. What I settled on was a Fluval Spec V. It's big enough for now and also required some DIY to make it work for a reef so it's occupying just the right amount of my free time right now. So far I've upgraded the lighting, the return pump, the filtration/overflow setup, and added a small auto top off. Anyway, here are some pictures of the progress so far. Its been up and running for just over 2 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZacharyR. Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 Nice. I knew I remembered seeing this one on nano reef. Welcome to ARC also. Yeah, I've been doing only 30 gallon and Nano tanks for the last 5-6 years so nano-reef has been a good source of info for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planeden Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 What a cool fish. What is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZacharyR. Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) What a cool fish. What is it? Comical Blenny, they're normally way more money than I would want to spend but I found one pretty cheap. It's also going to be the only fish in the tank so that justifies it a little bit too.

ZacharyR. Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 Just a quick update. I ended up ordering 1 all blue 445nm PanoramaPro and the Ecoxotic 1 touch control to add to the existing lightsetup. So when everything is delivered I'll be able to have morecontrol over the color and intensity of the lights. The one white/bluePanorama is doing great, but I wanted just a little bit more blue, andwith the controller I also get some cool lighting programs and amoonlight option. Other than that, everything is doing great so far. I added a few new corals too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
