I set up a 24g aquapod (old school) with some things I had laying around while I troubleshoot my 100g. Started with dry rock and crushed coral an Orphek DIF50 pendant light that I mounted through the ceiling into the attic for a cleaner look than having a bulky L bracket on the wall. I still need to work on a top for it but for now I have some eggcrate sitting on top. I put a Modified tunze in for flow and an Aqua Medic DC runner 1.1 return pump. I originally started this tank to house some pesky chromis that decided to attack a yellow tang and clownfish and killed them both. They ended up running one of their chromis out of their group so I added the "runt" to the 24g with a captive bred male mandarin I got from algaebarn and 1 large turbo snail.
Tank was setup May 21st, I had one piece of rock "cooking" in my 100g long enough to start getting coraline then added it to this 28g. I have added a few coral that I got before the coronavirus hit and unfortunately havent been able to get more. It's been a while since I've been happy with a tank of mine but this one is shaping up to be one I can be proud of. eventually I hope to get more coral as I save up but I'm just happy my mandarin and chromis have a safe place for them to wander and live without getting beat up. Funny how $6 fish kill a $45 fish, isnt nature fun, but that's the name of the game. Thank you guys for visiting my new build, I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!
