Ok, I think I'm happy. I put it back in the original spot, but moved the lamp and table back so I could see the tank. That blue light shining right on top of my head would have been too much.

C. Final answer, Regis!

YASSSsssss. Great couch view.
2 tanks in sight.
Close enough to Aku to spot him.
Just far enough not to be bothered by the blue light
And lamp and table close to put your beer.

I am in.

Just one more doubt...
Is there a table at the other side of the couch to put our beer when we come to visit?

Yep, matching table on the other side of the couch. Legs fold out on that seat too. 65" curved 4k TV to watch Blue Planet and Blue Planet 2 on. Beers are in the fridge in the garage. Help yourself.

I'm excited to see your tank. Hurry! Oh, I mean nothing good happens fast...
I've got some water made that's been sitting in my brute can for who knows how long... it's like 1.005 salinity. I could add some salt and bring it up to 1.026, but I'm just gonna make all new RODI. I'll use that other stuff and do a sump clean up on my 90.

It took forever to get a scape I liked, and was stable... but I give you the MMM! (minus sand, wanted you to see the scape before I clouded up the tank)

The Kessil is temporary. I stole it from the 90. The tank is a good bit darker over there with only two A160s, but it's just to show off for today. We'll be ordering the Nanobox soon.

Is this the same rock form the 10 you had him in?

And I love the scape :)

Yes, that one large rock on the bottom is the same one he was in. He actually never left it. I put a bit of water in a bucket incase he decided to come out. I pulled the rock out and set it in the bucket. Walked thru the house as fast as I could and put it in the tank. The entire time I was arranging and rearranging rocks he stayed in his hidey hole.

All of this rock has been wet from a month to over a year. Plus I added a secret weapon to the back.

The secret weapon we added to the second chamber in the back...

20190202_141220.jpg


I've read a lot of good reviews on these. They say one 1.5" block is good for 20-40 gallons moderately stocked. I added four. Ive got a moray, and plan on around three other fish. If lack of nutrients becomes a problem, I'll remove one and see what happens. Right now, I'll just keep them all in and dose the microbacter7 as recommended in case there are any left over organics in the rocks. I've had them cycling with a chaeto reactor for a at least few weeks,(some have been wet for over a year) so they should be good.

Looking good! Are you going to have a lid or run it without one?

I have a frame built from an old red sea kit and have enough screen to cover it, but I need the hanging clips so it'll sit inside the rim of the tank. I have one left over. BRS sells the spare clips, I'll place an order next week when I get some other supplies.
