    My 5.5

    Here is some of the info I have at the other end of the link. I don't like to post to other forums, but it is hard for me to update all my info on so many forums because I am constantly changing my tank. I feel I have to move at 200% because there is a high chance I will need to tear these...

    My 5.5

    Click here for the most up to date pictures and info Sorry, but since I am a member of so many forums, it is hard for me to post updates across all of the boards. If you click the link above, you will see how different my tank has become. I have added a 2.5g mushroom and mantis tank to...

    Livestock: Aussie seems jealous I added another red thing to the tank. Here he is checking out the Red Footed Snail: Pics of Merlin the Bicolor Pseudochromis: The baby of the tank, a new cleaner shrimp: The peppermints were hiding in the refugium, but I will post pics soon.

    My 5.5

    Tanks doing great. I updated my main diary thread at the "other forum," but can post some teaser pics here. Full Tank Shots: With Flash I added some new inhabitants, and even with the large bioload my nitrates are staying around 12.5. I can't seem to get them any lower, so...

    My 5.5

    Little mushrooms. Unfortunately there is only one left on the rock. The other two disappeared (Literally). I don't know where they went, but I haven't removed them, so they are still in the tank somewhere.

    I had a cleaner shrimp for a few days, but it ended up not living long enough to get a name.

    djconn's 2.5

    Looks great and is functional too. I like it. Maybe we can talk about trading frags sometime.

    My 5.5

    Haha, well I think I scared her away from SW. We consider it our tank, and she/we have named two of the inhabitants. Since the Fire Shrimp hangs upside down 90% of the time, we have dubbed him "Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Oy! Oy! Oy!" or just Aussie for short. The Staghorn Crab has been dubbed...

    Ordered too many corals (56K go have some lunch)

    Yeah, I really wanted a Xenia, but they were out. They replaced it with something even better (I already forgot wat it was though). THey also sent me a freebie. I think the total cost was like $240. Two $99 packages and $40 for shipping. All info can be found here...

    Ordered too many corals (56K go have some lunch)

    I just got my order in from Phishy Business. It was awesome, except I just realized I don't have enough space for all the corals I ordered. I need to go purchase some live rock and coral glue. I hope that doing so will help to spread things around a little. I created this post to both...

    Any articles/write-ups/how-to’s for sub 5G setups?

    I used cured live rock from an already established tank. My parameters aren't great, but aren't dangerous. Looks like I am going through some sort of mini cycle would be my guess. I am going to keep up with water changes to make sure the nitrite levels don't get too out of hand, but I will...

    That is exactly what I had in mind. Thanks for the link. I hope it will fit with my current filter (Or should I remove the current one?)

    Any articles/write-ups/how-to’s for sub 5G setups?

    I am considering purchasing a regugium for my 5.5 AGA. I would like it to be big enough to relocate my heater if this is possible. As you can see in the pictures, the heater takes up way too much space in the tank. What are my best options for a quality refugium in a tank of this size...

    Any articles/write-ups/how-to’s for sub 5G setups?

    DjConn, first let me say I have been eyeing your tanks, and they were an inspiration for me to start this nano. Currently I plan on slowing things down a lot. I will keep an eye on the parameters. If they get bad I will change the water, but I expect they should get a little better. Thanks...

    The end result. Well, I plan on taking out the boring peices of rock and adding more lively ones of course later, but this is how the tank will look for a few weeks.

    Any articles/write-ups/how-to’s for sub 5G setups?

    Update: This morning I woke up and checked all my water parameters. Only the PH was off, and I attributed this to the fluctuations from night/day. I went to the LFS (The Fish Store and More in Atlanta). They re-checked my water and agreed that it looked great except for PH. I was given...

    Any articles/write-ups/how-to’s for sub 5G setups?

    The temporary rock is in. I am happy with its shape, but there is not enough of it. I am still planning on purchasing a much higher quality rock later on from either, TBS, LiveAquaria, or phishybusiness. I have had the rock in for a few hours now (Just got back from poker tonight. Even though my...

    Any articles/write-ups/how-to’s for sub 5G setups?

    Well, I was planning on setting up a 2.5 gallon but decided to go with a 5.5 instead. I was only planning to keep some soft corals and maybe a shrimp or Arrow crab to liven up the tank. I got the tank yesterday and have had it running so I plan to add Live Rock soon now that I can see...
