I set it up Monday after we got home from Rhinelander on Sunday.

I used rock and sand from my 150 and it never cycled so week 2 I started adding some coral frags from my 55.

Heres week 5 and all is well.
I love this little tank and was so excited we got to keep them.

Jason,
They have dual PC's for lighting (1 daylight and 1 actinic) and already come equiped with blue moonlight LED's.

Kass,
Tank looks great, both of mine are still in the boxes. Maybe now I will have some incentive to get them setup!

Ron
 
Thanks Guys

Yep they have moonlights built in. I have trouble with mine staying on though and have to toggle the switch to keep them on.

Dang Ron you have 2 and both still in the boxes?
It was so easy to set up.
I did add a hydor flow instead of that gawdy locline thingy and had to put a piece of plexiglass over the vents so it would surface skim.
It also runs a little hot with summer so I have to keep the lid cracked open and blow a fan on it. It's in my living room in the hottest part of the house so that doesnt help. I heard if I switch the pump to a maxijet 900 it will run cooler but it's ok.

Other than that I only put the carbon in back and heater which I don't need right now lol.

Yeah the PC's are dual. 1 is half 10,000k and half 6700k
the other is half actinic and half blue

And Kass pulls another one off GREAT JOB. I really like your thirty years of experience. Kinda makes me mad at myself that I didn't take the day off of work and go a day early and do the frag trade. Oh well I plan to next year bet they will have Walmart ten gallons then :lol: Again Kass you do have the eye for putting together a nice tank. Thanks for sharing.
 
Looks great kass! Those really are some neat little tanks, that's so awesome that you guys got those instead of the plain old tanks!
 
gorgeous! in your second pic, what is that down on the bottom to the right of center, that looks like a pink and white petunia?
 
Thats 1 of my hot pink mushrooms. I think they're discosoma sp.
I got 2 of those last year (not cheap) on ebay. They were really hot pink when I got them but under my lights turned more reddish pink but still very cool with white stripes.
When I got them 1 fell over and I lost it but I have 3 now hoping they have more babies.
Ive only seen that mushroom 1 other time in someones avatar and they were from Illinois which is where I got them so they could have gotten them from the same person.

This is what they looked like when I got them. Actually it's awhile after cuz it has a baby there.

I put 1 in the nano under PC's to see if it will change color back to hot pink.

Mike and Michelle, yeah I bet next year they'll have hundreds of people sign up as traders and not have the aquapods lol.

I made it a point at the F&S Frag Swap to thank the company who donated the Aquapods so I asked an employee there if a company rep from Current USA was at the swap. Found out his name and went to thank his company for the donation of the tanks. His name was Ike and was very receptive to the feedback I gave him. During our conversation he told me that there would be no problem donating tanks again next year for the swap IF there company was given the opportunity to do so.

That is just what our conversation contained. Sounded to me like if things went well that Aquapods would be there next year but I am not running Current USA so please no public lynching of me next year if something goes wrong between F&S and Current!
