I'm not sure if that is the Azoo setup he is talking about. But, that's not the one that I set up as a reef. That one looks alot bigger.

The one I used is about 6"X6"X6" and has no top. It has a 7 watt PC that attaches to the back and extends out over the tank. It also has what must be the worlds smallest HOB power filter on it too.

Here is a link to the Azoo site, if you scroll down you will see Dazzling Red, Dazzling yellow, etc etc... those are the ones I mean, but they come with a 7 watt, 7200k lamp, and a HOB filter, no lid though but look around on their site they have some cool stuff.

I bought one when I was out "slummin" Doug . Both EmilyB and I bought them. Just set mine up tonight.




Put a couple of ridiculously tiny cleaner shrimp in there. And Debs fabulous orange polyps which are a bit cranky in there. I think I woke them up.




Now I just gotta get a heater. Found a 4", 7.5 watt one on MOPS. I've got the tank running downstairs with the woodstove and it will be fine at night but without the woodstove?? who knows??

Every electronic component is shipped with smoke stored deep inside.... only a real genius can find a way to set it free.

Awesome Doug! Thanks!

BTW, the sand cost me $3 and I used some rubble rock from my main tank. For a couple of shrooms and some xenia, the extra $30 is pretty steep, IMO.

One thing tho, it definitely needs a heater. This morning it was at 21.5 degrees which is a bit low for my liking, so I ordered a heater from MOPS.

Thats too bad that you need a heater... cool that you found a small one... I wonder if you can get those drilled and put a 5 gallon sump under it.... for the skimmer, Ca reactor... etc etc.. lol

When I brought mine out, Barry said "Cool, for me ?!!" - so what could I say......he is really excited. I ordered the 4" heater as well.

As much as I like those I think I will go for a 5 gallon bow and drill it for a sump and maybe make a HOB refugium for it with one of the lights off the azoo set up.
