I've been lurking around the site for a while, and didn't think I had a tank impressive enough to post. I've decided to bite the bullet and put this one out there.

Tank:
Fluval Ebi 7.9 gal

Lighting:
[STRIKE]IM 8w Skyye Light[/STRIKE]
Ecoxotic Panorama Pro (blue/magenta)
Ecoxotic Panorama Pro (12k)
Equipment:
Hydor nano 280
Fluval 206 canister
[STRIKE]Fluval Nano Filter[/STRIKE]

Initial setup:

Added some coral after the cycle


Still a work in progress. Plan on putting in an ATO, getting another led strip and taking off the Skyye light. Building a canopy for it and finding a replacement for that fluval nano filter.

Working on the canopy tonight, and painted the back glass black. Once I get my DSLR batteries charged I'll post some new pics.

 

[Hourglassx]

Have a couple updates. Finished the canopy and changed up the filter a bit.
Also added an orange ric and acan




The color is off, can't get my dslr to properly white balance.

Next project is to hide filter tube in an overflow box- just gotta cut some teeth in it.

Sweet tank! I really like your canopy.

 

[Hourglassx]

Thanks. Fiddled around with the lights and got a better FTS

 

[DBreefs]

Did you change your lighting out?

 

[Hourglassx]

Nope, just turned the 12k strip up higher. Still can't decide how blue I want it to be, especially when every lfs I visit has a different color profile running and I like them all.

Very nice i hope mine comes out as near as nice as this

 

[Hourglassx]

Added a pompom crab and some sexy shrimp. Also got the overflow put in. Will post pics after the acclimation process.

The Pompom

A sexy

Updated FTS


Now I just need to find a less conspicuous heater

 

[rle68]

wow thats a nice crab ...gives me idea lol

 

[Hourglassx]

Haha, I've heard if you have fish in a tank you won't see them out very often. This one is all over the place with his little anemone waving around.

 

[rle68]

im sure ill get to see it when i get those frags from you

 

[rle68]

where did you get your pom pom... from the picture does he only have 1 anemone on his claw?.. i guess i got lucky my lil dude has 2

 

[Hourglassx]

Picked him up from pet supplies plus, eventually he should split it and have two (if I'm lucky)

 

[rle68]

psp is a good place.. i go there often

Pom pom

Love the crab. Picking mine up today when I get off of work. 39 minutes and counting...

 

[Garbonzo]

WOW. beautiful pom pom! Looks like you're cruising right along.

 

[Hourglassx]

Ahh! So the tank has tons of flatworms- at first I thought they were pods. After pulling a couple out and looking at them under a microscope, they are definitely flatworms. What can I do?

Justin at fins said the sapphire damsel eats them... might be worth a shot
