Joe Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 Ordered. The plan for this build is to keep it as simple as possible. And getting it up and running as quickly as possible. Going all live cured sand and rock for an almost instant tank. Starting with this very basic kit tank. No mods will be done for a few months at least. Maybe longer. I do not own an rodi and don’t plan on getting one for this tank. I will use “ocean” water that will be shipped to the door. I will also be using filtered store bought water for as long as I can before it starts giving me trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lost one somehow when I moved a bunch of big rock pieces into my new tank. I picked up a replacement directly in Westerville. Worth the trip to see his centerpiece 400 inside his front door!

I’m thinking a mandarin, a couple fire fish, and a blood red shrimp. That’ll pretty much fill it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan on stocking it with pods of all sizes a few months before I get one. I’d rather it just eat live and restock regularly. I’m still debating on what to feed. But right now I’m leaning towards pellets. 10 hours ago, Craig said: Cant wait to see this tank! Me either. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 Guess what came a day early!? I got a little excited and ripped it out of the box and remembered I didn’t take a pic of it yet. So here it is out of the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 I like the tank. It’s a shame to put this tank as anything other than a peninsula tank. Look who endorses this tank. Mr. Saltwater Tank himself. The picture on the box are a little misleading. I wouldn’t trust these lights to grow some of the things in the picture. I want one of these. What ever it is. The light looks bright. But there are no optics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
