The TippyToeX thread

Here's Amy's newly modified Minibow.








Now all we need is for her to update this thread with progression pictures. She may need you to encourage her.

I don't know if I'll keep any fish in there, maybe a tiny goby of some kind. I like those panda gobies a lot.

It's going to be an all SPS tank, and by all I mean just 3 frags I'll let grow out as much as possible. First off will be this if I have my way..

I think you should get a different coral. That one looks infested with heart bugs.

I'm going QT it. I figure interceptor works on red bugs and it's a heartworm med, so obvious it will work for heart bugs.

Only us girls would do that to a photo of coral.. I like that the rockwork doesnt dominate the whole tank.

PS: you gotta have at least one fish, its the law

I had the original setup up for a year, but this one has been running now for about a month. I upgraded to 150w MH from a 70w (crappy bulb) so I'm so much more happy with it now. That and the change of the overflow placement.

do a Google image search for them, they are too cute! They look like little chubby bumblebees.
