It's an AGA 15 gallon long
2 months old

I modded an AC500 filter to a fuge. I also made an overflow from plexi for surface skimming.
The light on the fuge is a 55k bulb from an eclipse12 system.
I highly recommend the bulb for modded AC's, it grows cheato like crazy.

I use 2 65 watt PC's 10k and actinic for lighting.
It's a retro so I built it into the hood I made.

Most corals started as frags except the 13 mouthed frogspawn. Everything is growing and multiplying like crazy.

About 20 lbs of live rock and just enough sand to cover the bottom. No need for a DSB, as we all know.

Fish and Inverts: 1 clown goby
A purple spiny lobster
varoiuos snails and crabs
100's of pods

Comments and criticism are welcome, thanks for looking.

Looks great, you don't see alot of 15's around anymore.

The 15 was free from a friend. I couldn't resist because I really wanted a nano. My retro kit fit perfectly so it worked out great. I was going to do a ten but am glad I didnt because I'm running out of room.

I second nice aquascaping but won't fragspawn sting other corals that are nearby?

The frogspawn can sting, but mine is inches away from any coral when it's fullt opened. It's almost resting on the back glass.

It has taken many aquascaping attempts to get it how I like it.

Nice looking so far. One suggestion though, put that powerstrip somewhere else. That's an accident waiting to happen. If water gets on that thing...ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZAP!

The powerstrip is only there temporarily. I was trying out homemade leds with a very little cord.
