13.5 evo coming up soon...

[Tamberav]

The pipes seem to eat frozen easy

Some do some don't. Do dwarfs? They come in shipments at my LFS with the live shrimp and they don't seem to eat prepared.

 

[Tamberav]

I kinda want the KPA strain of pygmy angels they supposedly get 2”

No pygmy angel in a 13g

This is why I said a 13g is too small for you.

I would not do any hard fish at the moment because you have never had any sw fish before

 

[Bribo12]

I don’t think that light would work for corals, otherwise it is a decent list. And all that would work in the evo.

 

[Tamberav]

If I were to set up a 13g evo right now. I would put a pictus or two spot blenny in it, two green banded gobies, and a pygmy wrasse. Done with fish.

Inverts would be 3-5 sexy shrimp, a pom pom crab, and a porcelain nem crab.

Toss in some macros/gorgs/softies over time that I like.

Would definitely look into upgrading the filtration system in the rear chamber if you’re planning on keeping coral.

Until he actually has a tank and starts a "REAL" build thread, and even after that he will continue to change his mind.

us young people change our mind a lot

There are three kinds of people who my parents told me to be wary of. People who don’t read. People who don’t like music. And people who don’t like animals. Its served me well.

that's great advice

I’m not complaining, I’ve offered tons of advice, I’ve just seen plenty of posters on forums like this that end up not making a tank and disappearing.

that sounds like me :confused:

Those media baskets are expensive on my first tank a ten gallon I made a basket with some egg crate and some zip ties but I did a 5 gallon water change once a week

 

[Tamberav]

I don't even run any filtration/media in my overgrown IM 25g tank. Not even floss, my cat pulls all the media out so we gave up on that a long time ago. Don't buy extras until the tank is up and you know you need it.

Coral growth is great at controlling nutrients :)

Poetry fan myself :)

Who are some of your favorite poets?

 

[elorablue]

I will send a pic of the stand when I get to it

You started building the stand yesterday or the day before I believe. I have over 30 years of woodworking experience. I don't think I could make anything decent in that time. Especially if I was going to school and spending 12 hours a day on a forum. Very impressive Noah, would really love to see it..

Eliot probably my favorite but also a fan of Dante yeats Whitman frost Donne and Ryan how about you?

gonna do a double refugium

 

[NoahLikesFish]

I did some research on the pygmy cherub and the strain that gets 2” and I think it could work in my tank because it’s very small

 

[BeltedCoyote]

Hey @NoahLikesFish have you ever read a real build thread?

 

[elorablue]

OK. is that the base?
How are the rails attached to the stiles? What kind of joinery did you use?
