![]() I'm impressed with this little tank so far, and the Canopy will be built soon. A couple mishaps; When hooking the lights and pump up to a powerbar I added, I failed to plug in the pump properly, the result was the tank went without ANY circulation for 8+ hours(ALL night). In the morning, I discovered the problem, re-plugged in the pump, and found that NOTHING DIED! Nothing even looked bad. Then last night, I found Nemo on the floor, covered in Cat hair. I scooped him up, dropped him back in, he shed his Cat hair covering, and started swimming around like nothing happened. Hope he learned something, but I'm building the Canopy this week just in case.

![]() Wow looks good and sounds like you have had some luck. I like this idea and am kicking around a 5.5, do you mind a little imitation?

![]() Go right ahead. I did this one to illustrate how a display/refugium system works, it's intended for someone just starting out in Reefing. But, it's more than that, this system really works well. I'm not sure if the sand is working, or if the Macro is enough, but this is a super low nutrient system so far. I can feed a whole cube of frozen Rotifers, with no detectable spike/harm. The glass on the display side stays clean for a week, and in the fuge it needs to be cleaned every few days. It really does work like two different biotopes working in tandem.

![]() Did the finishing on the base.
Styrofoam on the inside....... ![]() The bottom is from a drawer of a Coin Collectors Case, and it's some kinda velvet stuff, won't scratch furniture........ ![]() I cut the Styrofoam so that the bottom pane sits just below the edge of the base..... ![]() Corals still doing well........ ![]() |
