Input on Azoo set ups?

BCOrchidGuy · #1 01-19-2003, 02:12 AM

I'm considering the Azoo set up with the 7 watt 7200k lamp for a desk top tank. Anyone tried them and have any input, I think its a great looking set up and the LFS has them as is for $49 or with LR LS and two shrooms for $79

Is that the .9 gallon open top"tank" with the tiny power filter on the back?

If it is I just set one up today for a mantis shrimp. Added two small pieces of LR (one with some nice blue mushrooms and green polyps on it to make the tank look pretty

ops: ) and a little sand on the bottom, and thats it.

Took about 5 minutes to set up.

We just got them in today and the first thing we thought was "REEF TANK."

It's running without a heater (no room) so it maybe limited to what can be kept in it.

If you set one up in a warm room it should not be a problem.

The light puts out alot and the colour is very nice.

Theres not much room for error in a setup like that. If something dies your in trouble. The only other problem I can see is salinity changes because of evaporation.

Should be interesting seeing how it does. I may set one up at home next to the computer.

I have never seen one, so would it be possible to post a picture? No heater? hmmm, I wonder how much heat my brewbelt I use for winemaking would put out?

I wonder how well one of those heat pads that are used under reptile tanks would work? I'm not sure how fine the heat adjustments are.

Heaters???? Coral does fine at room temperature, I wouldn't worry about a heater, as far as a pic goes I will see if I can find one and link to it, they are a cool little set up.

Bob, I guess you guys don't get Google in Calgary eh?

(You might have to right click the image box if it doesn't show and click on "show picture")

Do you do this, and with which corals? What temp is your room at, and what temp does it leave the water at?

hate to let my nano cool to room temp for an experiment...

:shock:

OTOH, it might be a good environment for some of those cool-water Catalina gobies. They might look at home in that tiny thing...

Sure we do. I am not a big searcher I guess. I think I see Xenia in the corner. Would that be cute. Some Xenia, some mushrooms, maybe some GSP's, and a couple of Catalina Gobies. That I think might be nice.
