Kevin's 8.4g Harse Design Build

[kb1094]

Alrighty, let the fun begin.
I'm currently in the process of putting water in the tank, here is a pic. As I mentioned before, I will be using Prodibio at the moment as supplements for the tank. Water changes will be done once a week. I made the decision of having a couple of fish as a way to have some nutrients in the water. Moreover, here is some pics, enjoy. I'm still waiting for my light, the light that I will be using will be a Radion Gen 3.

In the first chamber I have a poly fiber media pad and a media bag with a bit of carbon. The second chamber is supposed to have a bit of chaeto, but nothing is there at the moment until I get my light.

 

[frankyrivera]

You're gonna need more carbon than that. When you get your light I got cheato for you full of pods yummy

 

[MADtanks]

A RADION? haha, you are going to grow coral from the ground lol.

Nice to see its coming together!

 

[kb1094]

Salinity is 1.026.

I figured, but there is nothing at the moment, I'll add more later. The goby I want to get will love those pods. Thanks!

Well, that's the goal haha.

 

[MADtanks]

Ahhh yes, well that makes sense then

Btw, look into siporax Kev. There is a large thread on the stuff in the SPS forums. Super porous and great for minimal rock guys. I added a bag of siporax I got from Amazon to my sump area. Great for the bacteria dosing folks!

After reading this, I can assure that it will benefit my nano so much. Thanks for the link. I can't wait to get it, I already ordered from Amazon today so it should be here Saturday, gotta love prime. I'm thinking on putting it in the first chamber. If that's the case, I will have a layer of poly fiber media, with matrix, and carbon.

So Kevin, I think you need an awesome skimmer.... Specifically an Aquamaxx HOB-1 would beast on that frag tank!

bring $160 and the beast is yours, I picked up an old school Deltec MC500.

[frankyrivera]

[frankyrivera]

His top fin can be your surface aerator

 

[kb1094]

Im a bit scare of having a hang on back skimmer. With the schedule I have I'm barely home and I don't want a phone call that the house smells like spoiled eggs lol.

 

[kb1094]

Oh, and happy April fools.

 

[MADtanks]

You Bastard...... -__- you sure got me lmao! I was thinking, where the hell is that achilleas going to swim to? Can't go under the racks and won't be able to go above them lmao!

Got me man, you got me! Well played sir, well played.

 

[Tweaked]
