Recommended Posts

You might have seen the gun that i had for trade on a tank...well i finally got one!

Previously i was renting realestate in my brothers 30g but it was a bit small and it wasn't mine here's the new one. aside from gas i had spend about $13 to get it where it is now

  • 100g glass tank with wooden hood/stand
  • lights=4 t5's, 2 MH, LED moonlights
  • sump probably smaller than it should be
  • external skimmer
  • 75g RO system

Tank came with some livestock and live rock

  • Blue Tang
  • Sailfin
  • Purple Tang
  • 2 clowns
  • BTA
  • trumpet corals
  • Zoo's
  • shrooms
  • frogspawn
  • few others

 

And my livestock from my brothers tank

  • 2 clowns
  • flowerpot coral
  • octupus frogspawn
  • duncan
  • few others

 

Here are a few pics during set up and switching tanks

Good score Steve! I'll bet you probably got a nice stock list built in your head already! The funnest thing about a new tank is all the new doo-dads that go along with them.

 

Yeah as you already knew I was lookin for a complete set up and as far as the list for livestock I'm actually not too sure at the moment Im thinkin about getting rid of a couple clowns that came with it and one skunk clown I already had not sure what else to get though

 

But im open to suggestions!!!!

Put in the new sump today. Although I had to slightly modify the stand to make it fit and learn how to cut glass to make it. It's working good though and I needed to replace the box that had about 10g of water in it before. Cost about 45 bucks to make including the tank.
