YOU GUYS!
I won something!!! Thanks to @SaltwaterAq and their amazing #Tanksgiving , I will be adding another tank to my collection!
I'm so excited! :D
Mark, thanks for acknowledging this female reefer!!
I had to watch the video today to see that I won anything!
While in my email and saw a "purchase confirmation" email from SA and I thought to myself, "oh my goodness, what did I drunk buy last night?", (caught up with some lifelong friends over a couple bottles of wine last night and I didn't think I had that many glasses ;Joyful).
With my mini zoo I have (see below), I don't really think anyone is going to be surprised to hear that I got another tank!

The question now becomes what do I want to put in it?!?!? ;Writing
Since I wasn't planning on adding another tank anytime soon, I don't have any ideas ready to go to stock this little guy.

Reef only?
Mantis shrimp?
Oh the possibilities!!
Let's see some ideas!

Oooo... I have the same tank. I did a Snowflake clown pair in an anemone only tank. So far I have an Acid Rain BTA, a Rainbow BTA (added today) and a couple Rock Flower Anemones.

Ok thats better. I was hoping to win it. What I was going to do was breed mysis shrimp as feeders.
I have no idea what that would entail!? I'd love to have unlimited supply of live foods...

Congrats. I would do zoos
I do love me some zoas... and I have a NiCrew 30w light that grows them nicely!
It also did sustain 2 BTAs.

Exciting news! The tank was delivered today!! AND The Dr. is onboard with funding a work tank!!
He literally asked if he could just give me his credit card ;Wideyed That being said....

Here's what I'm my cart for the build:
IM Fusion 10 APS Cabinet stand
ReefBreeders Reef Nano LED
Finnex 50watt heater
ReefBreeders Prism ATO
Eshopps In-Sump nano skimmer (may omit this)
CaribSea Shapes LifeRock Dry
10lbs Hawaiian Black AgraAlive sand.
My total is around $830. Hopefully he doesn't take his CC back! lol anything major I'm forgetting?

Thoughts? I have plenty of RedSea CoralPro Salt at home, and I'm going to mix at home where I have RODI available and do WC and maintenance on the weekends or Fridays since we are only here a half day.

What are you planning on keeping in the tank?
I was thinking a small pair of clowns and maybe a pair of sexy shrimp and some softies.
I'm not 100% set on that yet, though. I'll entertain any suggestions!

Couple of designer clowns, sexy shrimp, and a little rock flower nem garden for the shrimp to live on would be super fun and visually interesting!

Stand assembled and rock in!
The light, heater, ato, and skimmer will hopefully be there over the weekend.
I'll be going in tomorrow with the water, I'll be mixing it when I get home today.

I did get a small package of Hawaiian black sand that will go in tomorrow just before the water.
