Amba
Ol' Salty
I haven't been on LR in a few weeks, and I have not made any changes to my tanks in quite a while. My big tank build is put on hold due to some changing life circumstances, but I did do a couple of neat projects, so I figured I would share.
Fluval Edge:
I went ahead and ordered some LED MR bulbs from RapidLED and replaced the stock halogen that come with the fluval. I exchanged the substrate for some black sand, and I got 8 pounds of reefsaver rock from BRS. The tank is cycling now, and I think it looks fantastic. I have two spare Koralia powerheads but I may take the plunge and buy one MP10 and use that.
I threw in a picture of a really nice plate coral that's in my main display tank.
The second project that I just finished is a 10G frag tank. I figured it would be a good way to make a bit of money back, and to spread some of my stuff into my other tanks. I made stairs out of egg crate and secured them with zipties. I have two koralia powerheads attached to the back glass. I got a coralife PC fixture on there, the same model as my display tank. I'm also running a marineland canister filter just to help move water + add volume + place to put chemipure.
Neither of these are super far along yet, but I think the fluval nano is going to be really neat. Those LED are awesome, I did mod them a bit, added spray acrylic to the LED themselves and I sealed the bulbs more with some of my sisters clear nail polish. More to come.
