Audio101's 3g Picotope

[audio101]

Here's a photo of my 3 week old 3g picotope.

I have a 12" 36w current usa light and a AC70 HOB filter.

Very nice! Did you do any mods?

I did the AC fuge mod, with cheato and live rock which seems to be working well. I've had a yellow clown goby for over a week now without any nitrate problems so far.

Very nice I have the same tank but i still have the crappy 9 watt. It is doing good for my xenia and rics but I yould like to keep lps. Do you have a pic of the AC and how is it working out for you? I was thinking of putting a sump on it but that would be kinda pointless. Where did you find the light the best i could find was 18 watts.

Here's a photo of it, with the stock picotope light on it.

It's the dual satellite:

I love the those clove polyps, esp. the metallic green (?) ones.
