30 breeder

[drty811]

heres my new set-up. needed to upgrade for the pair of yasha hase gobies. plus with work being busy i dont have as much time anymore for maintanence so hopefully this set-up will be more stable. so far so good. been running for three weeks, only took two in a half to cycle. used LR from old set-up and some from my buddies tank. 60pds LS (30 agra-live reef and 30 regular agranite) and 45pds LR. 2x96watt PC fixture (50/50 and dual actinic). sump w/ filter sock, LR rubble, cheato, and built in ATO resevior. Mag5 return pump, and two maxi jet 600. 150watt hydor heater. lights, actinic 12hrs, and 50/50 8hrs. 5-10 gallon water chnages a week. i think thats about it, if i have missed anything just ask.......enjoy.

agreed - awesome scape - i love all the sand!!!! less rock, more sand and no fruit stand. that is really nice and the perfect look your yashi's will love it
a "breeders" 18" F to B and shallow depth has always made it one of my favorite small tanks

 

[drty811]

18" deep x 14" tall x 36" long....thanks guys. i have all my frags and what not from my nano in it too, just havent gotten a pic of it yet. will soon.

Erik, NICE SETUP! I like the custom plumbing work and the aquascape. Breeder tanks are great because they have a lot of dept to them. Off to a great start.


Did you drill the holes yourself?

 

[drty811]

yes i did brian, used my dremel with a diamond bit.

its just the way i got it....dont have any suggestions. only thing is that i have alot of actinic lightin over them, so thats probably why thwy look that way.

 

[KidNano]

interesting. I have a decent amount of actinic as well. Your tank looks great though.
