My new 6 gallon

[Shawn D]

Upgraded from a 3 gallon pico to a 6 gallon.



Do 3 gallon weekly water changes, Daily top off, running 2 24'' t5's and a aquen hob filter with carbon ( gets changed monthly) I have 1 chromis, clown, anemone crab, shrimp, handful of snails, 1 hermit, and a goby. I feed reef chili every other day and pellets every other day. I have sps, lps, zoas, mushrooms, palys, all are doing great, all the sps I received free some were very brown and some were even white, they are starting to color up nicely and looking great. Tanks been running 5 months.

Tank is a petco special, Acrylic. Scratches so easy. Dimensions. 24'' long 8'' tall 8'' deep.

Looks awesome. Is that a neon green Palau Nephthea on the right hand side? There's a green leather looking thing there and I can't quite tell what it is.

I dont know. These are the 2 leathers I have. Cant tell in the pic, but the first one is significantly greener.

Looks great. Looks much bigger than 6 g. Then again your 3 g looks bigger than that too.

Nice looking tank, as others have said it looks bigger than 6 gallons.

 

[Shawn D]

Thanks all. I do love this thing. And yes it does look bigger then 6 gallons, untill you try and put your hand in there to get stuff or clean glass. I end up knocking frags off and feeling like a moose in a china cabinet. Did a 80% water change today in under 2 min....LOL sure makes life easy.

I think part of it is the way that you did your scaping which helps to make it look larger along with the the fact that the tank has more length to it and not as high, if that makes sense.
