Pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The little bugger has taken up residence inside a ball of chaeto... Pics when he actually will show up on camera lol

 

[thebanker]

Here he is, sitting on his throne. It's the highest point in the tank! :lol:

One of his many lounge chairs.

Tank has been moved to the office. Everything looks healthy.

 

[SkullV]

Looks good man. Love office tanks!

 

[gemini aquarius(t)]

Looks good man, how did you move it?

 

[brandon429]

It is beautiful!

 

[thebanker]

Drained it in the old kitchen. Carried it to the car. Drove it to work. Filled it back up.

Took about an hour! :lol: (a major relief after spending a whole day breaking down my old 56G and smelling the sand bed that had been undisturbed for 3 years)

 

[thebanker]

Water has cleared up, it's like the move never happened. :thumbsup:

Lowe's party theme LEDs and then we are talking!

Anyone have a skimmer running on these and what are the lighting options available? I see a Fluval Edge cheap around where I live.... so I am curious

 

[thebanker]

I don't know of anyone running a skimmer but I'm sure its possible. I was thinking of rigging up something similar to the MAME skimmer.

 

[dunedinplankton]

a modifed biocube (airstone) skimmer would probally work youd have to shorten chamber... but then again with such a small tank water changes really dominate. How do you plan to change water in office? transport new water from home?

 

[thebanker]

Water changes? No one has ever told me about this.

:lol:

Yes, I plan on transporting water from home. With no fish, I don't need to change water a lot.

Oh yeah my fish died.

I drilled the back of my fluval edge to allow for a 2.5g sump, with an aquaticlife nano skimmer on it. Works much bettr than the cruddy HOB filter that came with the tank 2 years ago.

 

[thebanker]

I've checked out your build, and yes it is a lot more effective than the HOB, I'm sure :lol:

 

[gemini aquarius(t)]

Any planned livestock purchases?

 

[thebanker]

Cleaner shrimp, perhaps a firefish.

 

[gemini aquarius(t)]

Cleaner shrimp ftw! I may be able to get you one... free of cost

I have ordered two of "MR11 Cool White 10 SMD 5050" LED bulbs. They appear to be the same construction as the ones I'm running now, but ideally will be a cooler color temp.

Since color temp is subjective, I'm hoping that these are the right color. If they are, I will be paying forward the LED's I have now (from SkullV) to another Fluval Edge owner.
