I realized I hadn't started build thread for my newest tank build, a 14 gallon Innovative Marine peninsula all-in-one. Details:
Tank DOB: May 14, 2016
Equipment and such:
Tank: IM fusion 14 peninsula
Return: stock pump
Lighting: Orbit Marine
Heater: cobalt 75 w neo-therm
Backlighting: multi-color led strip
Livestock budget: $500
Critters:
B&W clown (Pip)
orange clown (Gladys)
hi-fin banded goby (Bumble)
candy cane pistol shrimp (Red)
Scutus limpets
money cowries
various hermits
various snails
Coral:
Various mushrooms
Pink and green octospawn
chalice
Other:
Various Caulerpa
Hayi
Gracillaria
Dragon's breath
Halymenia
Codium
Blue scroll
A. Spicifera (red)
Unidentified macro
Elephant ear sponges
My goal was to create a "lower maintenance" tank with lots of color on a fixed budget. Since I love macro algae, that of course came to mind. My local friend, Julian, gave me some awesome octospawn frags that I decided should be a focal point of the scape. Seeing @urbaneks backlighting, I went on the hunt for a LED strip I could use to highlight the peninsula style of the tank.
