Emilie's "pink tank" for the Nano in 90 competition.
My daughter Emilie recently told me that she would like to have a reef aquarium in her bedroom. I had everything but the sand and tank so I said why not. We piled in the truck and off to Petco it was. She decided on a All Glass Aquarium 20g long tank. I asked her what color she wanted the back painted, blue or black? She said "pink", so pink it is!
Getting ready for paint.
Yep, it's pink now....
And yes she even painted it! She refused to smile for the camera though.
The tank is currently set up and cycling with about 20lbs of dry rock. I had a 2 bulb T5 light, plug in light timer, Stealth 50w heater, and an old Koralia knock off power head that I'm using on this tank.
I'm not sure which direction this tank will be going "most likely zoa's and softys", Emilie has already been trying to go shopping in my DT.....
I'll get some more pic's of the tank and my chosen aquascaping in the next few days.
So here is what I have figured towards the cap so far:
Hammer and Frogspawn = $80
Green leather = $20
Ricordea = $20
Fuzzy Shroom = $10
RBTA = $50
Zoa frag, I'm gonna say 20 polyps at $2 ea = $40
Zoa frag "supposed Cherry Charms" = $20
AquaSD "Ebay order" = $25.00
For a total of $265 of the allotted $500.
