12G Aquapod w/70W halide SPS/LPS

[ToeJam]

Here are a couple pics of my 12 gallon Aquapod that sits next to my desk at work. It is mostly SPS/LPS & zoos but I have a couple softies that I am going to be getting rid of soon. The tank has been set up for about 3 months now. Most of the stuff came from my old 3 gallon pico which was up for about 2 years. I upgraded because I was running out of room.

Upgrades:

• sapphire skimmer in the first chamber in the back.
• koralia 1
• maxijet 900 upgrade for the return pump
• u shaped spray bar/rock stand powered by a maxijet 1200
• 70w halide in the stock hood
• 4 fans to keep the temp down - 2 cooling the lights and 2 in the front with 1 pulling air out and 1 pushing air in.
• blocked off the 2 lower intakes for better surface skimming

Here is a full tank shot:


This is a montipora that I bought a while back that I had never seen before. It is an orangish-gold base with orange polyps that have electric blue tips. Anyone have an ID on this?


The current residents are:

• 1 black ORA clown
• 1 high fin goby
• 1 sexy shrimp
• asst. CUC

SPS:

• sunset montipora
• montipora pictured above
• blue polyped monti danae
• oregon tort

Nice tank you should check my AP 12 build thread you gave me some ideas.

It looks like I have red bugs on a couple of my frags. They are still growing well, but I think I will try to get my hands on some interceptor this weekend and treat them.

Also, I am going to add a SSB to the tank in the next couple weeks as well. My high fin goby is going to get a pistol shrimp buddy soon and I want them to be able to create burrows.
