Awesome tank how muhc do u think u spent on that altogether?

**Osiris** · 05-05-2005, 05:51 PM

close to $500 so far on the 10g tank...

**Shaggy** · 05-05-2005, 06:08 PM

Hook me up Mala. What equipment are you using for that tank, what did each cost, what type of live rock do you have in there?

Give it to me.. :P

Great looking tank btw!

WGPaintball075 · 05-05-2005, 06:23 PM

Holy Crap! 500$ for the 10 gallon so far most of thats for the coral right?

wrasser · 05-05-2005, 06:25 PM

Nice pics, Hope everything works out great for you. The first pic with the star fish looks great. Just looking at the pic it looks like the starfish is stalking the fish

**Osiris** · 05-05-2005, 06:33 PM

lol $100 for corals and anemone and fish give or take....

Currently equipped:
28w PC 50/50 coralife lighting purchased for $40 from ebay

50w Visitherm heater
AC mini with sponge and carbon
AC300 DIY Refugium(turning HOB filter to a refugium) that cost around $55 to do with parts and coralife lighting

Tank and stand was $75
Digital timer set for 10.75 hrs a day 7 days a week
Sand bed was taken from fellow reefer and water to complete a instant cycle along with figi liverock, notice though on the ricordia that's on the left side of the tank, coraline algae has taken over a piece of holy rock! Couldn't believe that one but hey it's all good.

Rio power head and a marineland powerhead(which i wanna swap out for a rio also)

i dose the tank with iodine and with weekly water changes haven't found necessary to do kalk yet not enough eating it up...

Have around 12-15lbs of liverock in it.

Inhabitants:
1 False percula
1 SCooter blenny
1 sand sifting starfish
1 Skunk cleaner shrimp
3 mexican snails
10 blue leg crabs and 3 hitchhiker snails
Purple w/blue dot mushrooms 12 i think
Blue ricordia
Pulsing xenia one stalk
one carpet anemone which is at it's max size about, just a mini anemone...
Filteration is simple, the refugium wasn't necessary but it greatly improves the health of the tank, as i already do weekly water changes on it with RO water...
The refugium should be up and running full by next week, just waiting on some cheato from a friend, then will take pics of the DIY fuge.....and next weekend will be picking up a 20L SW setup, interesting to see how that one is done will take pics...

haha i have this camera too and i didnt even know it had those features! hmm anyways isnt it an easyshare because you can send the pics in emails from the camera or something along those lines?

**Osiris** · 05-10-2005, 01:24 PM

kodakeasy share camera, get's way closer and cleare pics, think i have some in the african cichlid thread some shots, along with one in the photo contest of fishaholics.org and that photo also made it into www.cichlidforum.com photo contest. It's the Ruby Red photo.

The olympus i have i believe is 1.5meg like 5yr old camera lol versus this kodak is brand new! Just quality of macro comes out way better then on the olympus, i also noticed the delay between the cameras, kodak is much shorter delay when the shutter button is hit versus the olympus

hail_sniper · 05-26-2005, 10:34 PM

**Osiris** · 05-27-2005, 05:17 AM

LOL that isn't show off, this is show off :P

I would really like to learn how to begin fragging the blue dot mushrooms and was told to just place some smaller pieces in front of the xenia to get it going?
