My 10g journal

[Malawiandude]

Here took some pics this evening, started up a 10g SW tank, best LS availble, took from a established reef tank of my buddies, along with a xenia frag, my lighting, stand, and skimmer should be in within 2 weeks. Once the new glossy black wooden stand comes in the 20H will be purchased and this tank transferred in a month. I will be having 40w of 50/50 over this tank..and a bakpak2 skimmer. I have been tryn to get my hands on some lalo rock but fear i may have to wait until warmer weather.

Xenia need light, it will be a hard two weeks for them. Is the folding table and chair set pink, were other colors avalible and if so what made you choose pink? Oh, I see its the princess edition, nice..... How much weight will the princess edition chairs support? Could one stand on one to change a light bulb?

LMAO, , defintaley have a talent for seeing things deeper then they are i give you that.

Well it's coming along nicely, i made contact with a guy 1/2 from me that should have well over enough LR for me and lots of base rock, i am going next month to pick up a cherry oak stand and canopy for the upgrade to 75g. Yea xenia frag makes it, it makes it, if it dont then dont it was just given to me since was either that or garbage pretty much so yea.

Here is a pic from two days ago, i stranded at folks place cuz of the snow storm for two days and got back to my house last night to find the tank is really clear now i just gotta dust it off a little and get the LR tomorrow.

Very nice will you be putting a blue background on i think that would make it look the nuts (just like when i had my 10g) (look my 2 babies when they were tiny 2 1/2 cm long now nearly 2 1/2" long)

 

[Malawiandude]

holy cow, that is so cool! I pick up two occelaris tomorrow and LR sunday instead of tomorrow, and bakpak2 skimmer will be picked up on monday. That frag is coming out of there on sunday i am just not into them yet and the one i do like is the starburst polyps...Man they are so cool and dont even take hardly any time to color up like african peacocks lol. Yea i am going to check out the blue background, i am going to wait until i get the 20H tho, cuz this tank is going to be transferred into it..I had a blue background once on my 50g african tank, some thought it to be SW...LOL, take a look:

ya so i will take more pics after sunday for y'all....SW is so much fun! new things growing all the time, and the tiniest things moving, i might have to just do all SW! LOL

what kind of skimmer will u be using?

 

[Malawiandude]

I will be starting out with a bakpak2 that am gettin locally, then i am either upgradin this to a 50g or 75g and then the exacilbur insump skimmer will come into play.

 

[Malawiandude]

well i got the LR in and some fish, man the sand is really stirrin up everytime i touch it, think i could throw on some Crushed coral on top not alot but enough so doesn't disturb sand so much?

 

[blout]

looking forward to some more pics
