Coop's 12 Gallon Fluval Edge Build Thread

[gregrocks79]

What's happening fish friends?! Good to be back into the salty waters of aquariums! I just unpacked my sweet new tank and can't wait to watch her slowly grow! I've had a 12 gallon Nano Cube and a 24 gallon Aquapod. I wanted something smaller since I am limited on space.

I started her up w some premixed salt water from Vivid Aquariums, cured LR, LS and tonga branch. I'm gonna let her cycle for a few weeks. Then start slowly adding stuff! Anyways, here's my thread! Comments and suggestions are always welcome!

Update: got my AI Nano and controller and the Eheim 2211 should be in tomorrow. The chromis are in to finish the cycle then they go back to the LFS for a true perc clown!

Update: Got my Eheim up and running w some LR rubble and she's running fantastically. Clean and quiet. Also added some more LR to the tank. Probably going to get a true perc next week.
