do u have a skimmer on it?

bigtank · #7 01/08/2006, 12:54 AM

That is an awesome little tank! Please, do tell us about your system. Any modifications to the nano cube?

Ebisan · #8 01/08/2006, 02:28 AM

Looks great. You could use a bigger tank now.

Bobalouy · #9 01/08/2006, 10:13 AM

Thanks guys, nothing to exciting for mods just keeping it simple, Stock lighting. Cassette skimmer mod. Chamber 1 has LR rubble, Chamber 2 Cheato, removed vinyl from the back with a plam light, Behind the tank. Chamber 3 heater and Minijet 606.

I dont dose anything, feed mysis to fish and corals 2-3 times a week. And spectrum small fish pellets on the other days for the fish.

3-4 gallon water change weekly with reef crystals.

Thats about it I think.

And yes I;m dieng for a new tank, planning a 20L.

Bobalouy · #12 01/09/2006, 11:06 AM

Yup stock lighting, you'll notice I dont really have any demanding corals.

Holy xenia and GSP batman!! Time for a trim I'd say.

Other than that, nice.

Bobalouy · #16 01/09/2006, 02:40 PM

looks like someone loves xenia

vanmo92 · #22 01/09/2006, 11:32 PM

SWEET!!!

FishWife1 · #23 01/10/2006, 02:36 PM

That is gorgeous! What are you doing for skimming? I'm not familiar with all the "new" terms

I've been away from reefing for a few years.

You have "almost" sold me on a cube. Great work.

Oh, BTW, see if you can sell your frags for credit to your LFS. That's how I got the stand for my old Oceanic 200 a few years back - nothing but xenia - made lots of money on it.

Bobalouy · #24 01/10/2006, 03:41 PM

Thanks everyone!
I think xenia loves me more than I love it, lol.

I do not run a true skimmer, Just the cassette mod. Which is just a cassette tape case with teeth cut in it, put over top the intake grate.

I do trade my xenia in at my LFS, and they give me pretty good credit for it. I think the the tourch is the only coral I have spent cash on since I bought the xenia 9 months ago.

Stock lighting???? i cant believe that. Nice tank
