My 24g Aquapod at 5 Months

[rjwilson37]

My Nano is around 5 months old right now and doing great, especially since it has an 18" Eel and 6 fish.

Here are some pictures, I have all hardy fish and hardy type corals in a 24g Auquapod w/72 PC lighting.

It's pretty but quite heavily stocked. Three seriously aggressive fish that reach about 5" long, with the exception of the Hum Bug Damsel.

Your Nano looks great as does the bigger tank in your gallery!! Nice job....

 

[rjwilson37]

Yes, it is heavily stocked, but no one wanted a couple of fish when I took down the 90g, so ploop, in the 24g they went. I do a 4g water change once a week and things are going well, as they are still a little small until they grow up.

Thanks Everyone! I will see about getting some SFE pictures tonight, he is out all evening long typically. I only feed him every 3 days as well as the meaty foods to the other fish. The fish get formula 2 flake every morning pretty much, but I limit the meaty foods to every 3 days which keeps my bioload down a little, since there is a big Eel in there... Oh... and a bunch of fish...

I was told that when I purchased my Aquapod, it had the 72w (2x36w) PC Lighting which may be before they switched the PC lighting to Sunpaq. possibly. Not 100% sure on that, but I know I was told it had 72w PC lighting and when I looked up the Aquapod 6 months ago, it was shown as having 72w of PC lighting.

Again... I could be wrong on that note above... since I have been known to be wrong from time to time... on certain occasions... maybe... occasionally...

Wow, the tank looks great! What mods did you do to it when you got it?

No Mods, it is just a stock Aquapod, except I have the MJ900 in there for extra water movement.

 

[Mr Sh0tgun]

Wow, I just ordered an aquapod today and I was gonna do some mods to it, but after seeing how great yours is doing, I might only change the fans. Do you use the media and such, or do you use LR rubble, cheato, etc.?

 

[rjwilson37]

I am just using the sponge filter media it came with, I rinse them out once a week with the water that comes out of the tank from the water change. You want to make sure the good bacteria on the sponge it kept and just get rid of the crud that get's trapped in them.

Good Luck with your tank!

Here are some more pictures, the Snowflake Eel is like 18" give or take a little.

 

[noschmo]

Well done!

How is the Snowflake Eel in the 24g Nano reef? I am guessing you have no inverts? Wont he eat the small fish too?
