Pics of my new, (to me), office tank.

I took these last night. It'll probably be another week or two before I manage to put anything in this so it'll look a little more interesting. I had just finished cleaning it out. So the skimmer was flipping out a bit there's not normally all the bubbles in the tank.

:lol:

This is my bosses old tank. Yep it's a 7gal tank. I just realized I have this thread in the wrong forum. :D Wanna move it over in to the under 10 forum for me?

My boss got a bigger office, so he got an 18gal half round tank, and gave me this one to play with. He had black sand in it which I'd already tried and didn't like so once he got all his rock and stock moved over I cleaned it out and got new sand and new rock in it.
I just got the salinity adjusted properly last night, and figured I'd take a couple 'just started' pictures. I'm hoping to get an auto top off done for it sometime next week. Once I get that done I'll think about bringing some frags from home up. I also need a new bulb, as the one that's on it now is over a year old. I've got to do a fairly big lighting order in the next couple weeks so I'll get the new bulb then.

Sweet. Free tanks are the best kind. Let me know if you need any GSP or xenia frags. I've got a few growing out now in my 2.5 frag tank.

Oh, I've also got some hangon float switches coming in from a sponsor for me to give away as Featured Tank/photo contest prizes so you might want to consider that before buying another auto-topoff switch.

That sounds very cool.

My wife set up a 10gal tank that she wants to be mostly a zoo tank. She found a baby pipefish at the LFS and it's been happily running around the tank. I tried to take pics of it last night, but it's very shy, and I didn't have time to be persistent with it. I'll try again tonight.

Not much. I've got a few zoo frags, a green rasta leather, 1 sexy shrimp and 1 Harlequin in there. Just finally got the new bulb to replace the actinic bulb I've been having to use. I'll try to get some pics later in the week.

Ok...Finally managed to get the camera up to work to take a few pics.

Like I said, not too much has changed. You can just see the harlequin in the last pic in the right hand corner. He's been out roaming around lately, must be time for another starfish.

Nice aquascapping, I like the structure of live rock, the way it has shelves, looks very natural.

I've been running a 2.5 since thanksgiving. Haven't added anything until the diatoms blooms go away. Just 4 small red leg hermits...

I'll start some pics tommorrow so I can start documenting the tank from infant to adult...

My boss is VERY cool. He got a new office, and so he decided to upgrade to a larger tank. He gave me this one basically cause he knew I'd be able to take care of it, and because he didn't want to deal with cleaning it and breaking it down. :lol:

I've got a few more frags in the tank now, but still no fish. I'll try to bring the camera up and get a new pic or two sometime this week. It's the harlequin, and 2 sexy shrimp for now. I'm waiting until I get my auto top-off system finished for it before adding any fish. The tank loses a bit over a gallon during the weekend when I'm not there, and I don't want to have to worry about the salinity swing killing off any fish. I also haven't decided what I'd like to try to put in there yet.
