Yyyeeesssssss!!! I wanted to go with a deep sand bed on bottom and a blue spot jawfish here as well but was out voted .
I might have to pick up a red one for a jaw fish. Do you think the 9 would be big enough?
If the tank is setup properly as a species tank then yes. Though jawfish don't need a lot of swimming space they do need a deep sand bed area to properly build their den. Some jawfish will be content with a 3-4" sand depth. But they prefer more. Wouldn't you? The bottom level of the RC9 is 7" to the top of the sand lip for the top shelf. You could setup a seriously wicked small species tank with this. If it were me, I'd put 5" of sand in the bottom and then rockscape up and over the sand lip for the top level...maybe even just adding an overhanging shelf rock from the top leaving the 2" to sandbed below open and clear. You can guarantee your little jawfish will be front and center and not hidden from common view with this setup . T
hen, you have the top section reserved for your select uber premium @Incredible Corals. Only the best will make the cut in this limited quarters.
Couple more notes:
DEFINITELY get the optional lid. Jawfish are jumpers.
Provide your jawfish with rubble, shells, old coral branch fragments. They need these things to properly support their den from inside as well as to build up around their den if they choose.
Oh yes. If i do this it will be just like that and he will be the only little guy in the tank.
Thanks for all the information.
Will you have an RC35 production model available for all to see? 10 more days till the New Year!
Yep, we sure will Macro! Just trying to keep pace with washing out all of our Signature Series Pre-Order's and custom order's that are due before years end. This way we will be ready for production to begin first of the year on the Reef Crest Series. We like to keep on schedule . Unfortunately, this has slowed the final mods to the RC35 Demo.
We are working to finalize the production rear chamber CADs and demo model of the RC35. We have been through several variations with the rear chamber for the RC35. We want to make sure to have the biggest potential for equipment on market to fit in abundance compared to competitively sized systems. A recent example to this commitment across all of our tank Series is the posting showing the RC17 fitting a Tunze 9004. We are aiming to have even the 9012 fit in the RC35 and that is one of the largest body "nano" sized skimmers out there...though capable of supporting 55-150+ gallon systems.
We will get the CADs up no later than Christmas weekend as there are undoubtedly many waiting for this info prior to finalizing pre-orders which end on 12/31/15.
The smaller systems we have in operation are doing fantastic with flow even on their single pumps. The RC35 running on two 317gph pumps will have phenomenal flow through capacity and in display flow!
Sounds good. It would help those who really want to get the bigger tank from your production line make a firm commitment before New Years!
I am looking at the 9 gallon and the Petco Brooklyn metal stand for a 10 gallon. Would I need a piece of plywood or something to support the bottom of the tank or would I be fine?
Any chance you are going to make one of these without the filter in the back? I was thinking about making one of these a frag tank next to the display. I would want it plumbed into the main tank however.
