New JBJ Drilled w/sump

Reefie:
The stand is 1 of the 2 you can pick from for the 24 jbj Nano. Im sure your local sw fs can get them in for you. But be warned, this is very very unstable. The tank when full weighs in at 240+lbs, the stand weighs about 2lbs. I can hardly clean my walls without bouncing the tank around.

Hey I've been following your video updates on youtube. Great to see the actual build process.

Hey Cugio thanks!
Im having alot of trouble right now being able to acuratly re-create my color in videos. Even borrowed my cousin's camera... but alas, the pheonix 14k bulb is just to amazingly brilliant. I really cannot boast enough about this bulb. 55$ with shipping to my parents Sandpoint cabin in the states.

I work at a lfs here in town, and recently have had the opportunity to order some really cool Acroporas, if they continue to survive and thrive for 4 more days, they will make their new home in my tank

Took a video on the garbage camera. The link is:

I could use some ideas for plumbing? Proflex Sumps have a really nice hose, wondering I could find something similar?

Since getting rid of Dori (blue tang) and the engineer goby Ive noticed a much happier, stabler tank. The two were replaced with a sixline wrasse. Also got two baby clows wich, if they pair up, I will use to replace my maroon clown. Hes such a bully.

In case you didnt check out the new video, here are some pictures from the same update.

Comments are always welcome, I need some constructive critisism! Be judgemental, my tank to be all it can be, which means all the kinks gotta be addressed.

Next update will hopefully be the stand Im going to start this week.

The Pico Tank where we are holding the two baby clowns for now.
The maroon clown is just too aggresive and independant for the nano cube that once the two small clowns mature (and pair up) they willl replace the maroon.

Im scared they may not pair up and mate, if they dont then I will have to purchase a mated pair




Two little feather dusters that survived my old blue tang constantly picking at them. Now safe in the pico tank.




This Anenome is the Size of a pennie fits perfectly in the tank, the clows have been curious, but still have not hosted.





This pico is starting to become a small hospital tank. I bought a peppermint shrimp for a few small aptasia polyps but the sixline wrasse wouldnt stop pickin at him, so into the pico with the shrimp, this actually is awsome cause he eats the food the clowns miss.

Hey all,

So some bad news, the ricordia I introduced (not sure if they were yuma or floridia) had cyano. I did notice some dark algea when I purchased them, but I was really hoping the Iodine bath and gentle scrub was going to rid them of the bacteria. Alas, I failed. I HATE YOU CYANO, x10! (thats alot of hating)

I picked up a coral banded shrimp last night after work, so far he is just hiding in the back Im not sure about aclimating livestock when the lights in the tank are off. I wont be doing that again though.

Today I picked up a tuxedo urchin with 3 zoa polyps and a nice green mushroom that the urchin has been carrying around. He is being drip acclimated as we speak.

The prices at Golds Aquarium cannot be beat! In the last two days my fiance and I (and our baby Liam) have made the rounds to all the reef stores, and still Golds has the best priced frags and some of the fish and inverts are cheap aswell.

THANK YOU GOLDS AQAURIUM!
Cheers guys
