Erick's 10g Reef

weaponsofmassdesign · Aug 27, 2012

So, I though I would be tearing down my 10g once I got the 165g going, but I just can't do it. This was my first saltwater tank, and it's currently 2.5 years old. I have removed the sand, and put it in the 165g to help seed that tank. I don't like the bare bottom look so I will be adding some sand. Not sure how much yet. As far as coral, I will probably add whatever I don't want in the 165g, and whatever I have duplicate of in my frag tank. I don't plan to add any fish to keep down on feeding. I will add a shrimp to have some movement in there. Equipment will stay basic. Currently I have a heater with controller and a AquaClear 30 HOB filter. Lighting is a Coralife 2 bulb T5 HO fixture. It's not the best, but it works perfectly for the big frogspawn and acans I have in there right now.

Here are a few pics of what it looked like before I changed anything.

This is the last current one I have. Thought I had more.

Looks good. I love porcelain crabs.

That's the last pic i have before i removed the sand or made any other changes and it's a couple months old. That anemone and crab will go in the 165g. I'll be posting more as this one develops.

I just took this pic. Most of those corals along with the clowns will go in the 165g. I'll be adding sand and plan to switch out most of the rock. It will look totally different in weeks to come.

It would be difficult to take down a take that has done so well! :) that little 10g has seen many a zoa grow up in its time.

Haha! Yes it has! That's probably mostly what will be in it. Maybe my mushrooms so they don't take over the 165. I don't like the rock work at all right now. I'm thinking I'll try to get one or two of the branch pieces from BRS.
