Alrighty, how do I start this; it has been a while.
I'm getting back into the hobby after being away for a year and a half. I ended up choosing the 8.4g Harse Design after seeing it being raffled at FFM. I guess FFM was the kick I needed to get back in lol. Anyways, the day after FFM I got in contact with The Reef Shoppe and asked them about the tank at FFM and that I wanted one like that, but with a little customization. Before I go forward, The Reef Shoppe is the store and Harse Design is a different company that makes the acrylic tank. So today I was in the city and I chose to pick up the tank on my way there.
Enough said, here is the pic of the tank.

The customization I asked them to do was to have three chambers in the overflow instead of two. The reason why I chose three it's because my first chamber will have carbon and a pad of poly filter, the second chamber will have chaeto and the third chamber will be for my return pump.
Now as for lighting, I decided to get a radion for it and it will be mounted with radion RMS kit. The frag tank will be for corals only. Since the tank is an all in one I know the potential problems that can happen, but I've found the solution to evade them.
The tank should be up and running by tomorrow night. My light its supposed to arrive sometime this week.
While I was at The Reef Shoppe I spotted a cool mushroom that I needed to have and in the process of getting it I forgot to grab another coral I saw, but here is the pic of the shroom. I don't even have a tank up and running, but I already have livestock, that's funny.
Here is a pic of the shroom I got next to its best friend. The shroom I got its wild and there is no name for it so what's better than this. Here I present you, FUP&A Lightning Mushroom :celeb1: P.S. It's not fully open yet lol.
