LAK's 15g Cube

[Tswifty]

Just setting up the thread, and posting some initial pictures. I'll be fixing up the tank and making some modifications here and there before she sets it up. If you have any questions about any of the modifications, I'll chime in... but other than that am going to try and stay out of the conversation... after all, it's her tank.

Most of the standard equipment will be getting replaced, but here are some of the initial shots so you can get an idea of what the setup looks like.

Livestock standing by in my frag tank for the time being:

- 2 Tank Bred Bangai Cardinals
- Orange/Red Acans (not pictured)

Too early to call. I know a few people with PAR meters, so I'll do some testing... then make a decision based on the readings. It's probably going to be difficult to get a nice color combination which can maintain the higher light demanding corals, as well showcase their colors. It's one thing to be able to "keep" corals... it's certainly another to "display" them.

At least that is how I look at it... I personally lean towards the latter.

After I lost the cardinals in my 20G I was turned off by them, but I may have to rethink them as I am evatuating what fish to add to that tank.... I love that acan LAK, the color on it is amazing!!!

I really have no clue. haha. TJ picked it up for me and it's still at his house, so he'll have to answer that.

Definitely tagging along !

 

[BWine]

I'm tagging too. I've been thinking about getting one of those Biocubes.

 

[LAK]

Thanks for tagging along everyone!! I'm really looking forward to getting this started!

It's looking like TJ is finishing up transfering all of the coral over to his new tank. Whenever that is over, he can start the mods to my tank so that we can get this thing up and running.

 

[Tswifty]

If I can get everything finished on the Rimless Tank today, I'm going to attempt to start on the design for the new false wall tonight.

 

[Tswifty]

Here is sort of what I have bouncing around in my head right now, but am just not sure how the final layout is going to look. Anyway, just a preliminary sketch.

 

[LAK]

Looks like a plan lol
