barderer Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Well I caught a sea horse and have him in a LAME tank right now so I am making one just for him and a few pipe fish. Check it out installing back cambers and floss holder. Back glued on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 You have my attention, Nick!! I can't wait to see how this turns out and if you ever need BBS, I'll always have some...my lil' pony is still going strong. I just did a 100% water change and was freakin' out for fear of ph or salinity change being too drastic...but I just fed him and away he went chasing those critters!!

Laura Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 OK...get out your magnifing glass for the ONE pony I have left...remember, these are born sizing a little bigger than a pin head...this guy is about a half inch long now...he lives in greenwater, hence the fog...his name is Hercules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barderer Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 if you are wondering why I made the back wall clear, its because the center camber is going to be a fuge with rock and macro. And I want to be able to see it and not setup a separate light for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesL Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 *whistles* Very nice! And I like the idea of having the clear back to see the refugium. So the refugium is more for pop production than pH balance in this tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barderer Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 yeah, not too worried about pH swings as this isn't going to be a reef. I am more interested in having a macro grow zone for pods etc that will be predator free. And the whole idea of this tank is that its going to be low maintenance. So all in one box/area and sealed for low noise and evaporation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
