Glad to hear everything is going good for you. You have the lighting i have decided to get. Nice looking tank BTW

Here is a pic of my 10 gal, not much to it just yet lol

I saw you were adding a skimmer to yous, here is the skimmer i have for mine and i'm plumibing a sump/refugium to the tank too. Does you skimmer pull out alot on a 10 gal?

 

[ItsDave]

Looks great so far!
Um...well this is my first skimmer so i really dont know what a lot is. After one day the collection cup had about a half centimeter of skimmate in it. Not sure if thats a lot. Im not even sure if mine is properly tuned. Best of luck to you though.

awesome dave! nice work........ is that tank in your dorm room? Thats where mine is, and ill tell ya that i love having my little slice of the ocean right on my desk.

 

[ItsDave]

No but when i leave my community college its going with me. Right now its just in my room at my house. I commute. Started with a 10 gallon for that reason too. I know i wont be staying in one place for too long.

 

[ItsDave]

Here they are, struggling with a little bit of an algae problem but its gotten 10x better, now just the green hair algae.

 

[ItsDave]

Thanks for looking

Wow this tank is amazing.. I will be starting a 10gal nano sono. Can you please list your live stock and how long its been running, how often you change water. I think thats the light I was going to get too. Sweet.

Mad inspiration

 

[ItsDave]

Well i dont know if i could really list all live stock, Ive got 2 maroon gold bar clowns, 4 hermits, sand sifting star, for corals i have the open brain, candy cane coral, Brown Digi, Tan Acro, Acan, Blasto, hammer coral, torch coral, green stars, assorted zoos, anthelia, pulsing xenia, kenya tree, and a bunch of flame shrooms, i think that about covers that. Been running a little more than a year. I do a 2 gallon water change every 2 weeks or when i feel like doing them. Run a 96 watt power quad, aqua clear 110 refugium with a 13 watt clip on light, and a seaclone POS skimmer.
Thanks for the comments I really appreciate them.

Dave I noticed you live in NY.. I will be starting a 10g reef tank very soon w/ the same light.. ( Hopefully I can make it look somewhere even close to that )

I was wondering if you would be able to hook me up with some frags?

 

[ItsDave]

Where abouts in Ny do you live, Im in upstate Ny Rochester to be exact

 

[directional]

I am Suffolk County Long Island.

 

[Kigs]

What are your feelings on the skimmer after adding it to the tank?

I must say it is beautiful.
