i have a thread in diy on how i moded my ac 70 into a fuge. works pretty good and i have a fair bit of sand in it as well.

So finally some updates....here is the tank as it stands now.....Removed the Fluval due to piping and space requirements....and lets face it it was a PIA...

Hardware:
15G mixed reef
18lbs live rock
25lbs live sand/aragonite
CL 130W dual PC aqualight
Remora Nano skimmer
AC70/300 Fuge mod (cheato, rubble and sand) with a single halogen overhead
No filtration minus coarse foam in the fuge to keep sand out of the impeller
Hydor K1 powerhead (looking for 1 more used!)
100W heater (with mini 100W backup)

Livestock:
Maroon clown
Peppermint shrimp
Skunk cleaner shrimp
2x mexican turbo snails
4x hermits (3 zebras)
Mini black brittle star
Medium GSP colony
Purple metallic shrooms (2 large, 2 small)
Variety of Zoas (5 or so... 1 smallish medium colony, 1 small colony, and 3 frag sized bits)
Finger leather
6" bristle worm (may be larger, only seen him once....)

Pics, don't mind the white balance issue, or the remains of an algae issue.....lol....

Looking good :mrgreen:

Be very careful of Snappy, if you get some cheato like I did, you will end up spending some money on SPS (AGAIN LIKE I DID)

He has some very nice stuff, so you better take some cashola to spend.
