I have a 30gal sump/refug that I built myself from many ideas and examples from this site...thanx.

I have about 2" of sand in the tank and have placed about 8 cups of live sand from my 45gal. There is 6" of sand in the refuge with 4 cup of live sand. I have transfer about 1/3 of my live rock and purchase another 25lbs.
I will not be able to move the remaining rock because corals are attached.

I removed the BioBale from my Cyclone bio-filter (CPR CY192) and placed it in my refuge to help the cycling...Was that a good idea:confused:


I have attached pics of my 45, new 75 and my sump. If SW had taught me anything it is patience! I look forward to communicating my progress over the next few month.

If you have any suggestion please feel free.

I have a 55 gallon AIO reef tank that I built and wanted to try my hand at the sub Nano category. JBJ makes a fantastic bowfront glass tank they call it a picotope and it comes with a stock 9w 50/50 bulb and a little nano HOB.

I changed a few things from stock but here is the list
JBJ 3 Gallon Picotope
AC50 modified into a fuge
Toms aqualifter for the DIY ATO
24W Power Compact with a 50/50 bulb
DIY Moon LEDs
50w visitherm stealth heater
80GPH fountain pump (sp.?) for a little added flow
Stock Picotope 9w PC light with a 6700K bulb(macro light)

Stock list
3lbs LR
1lbs LS sugar fine white

6 different morphso of Zoas
4 Shrooms
A little frag of montipora digitata

CUC
2 Blue legs
4 dwarf ceriths
and who knows what else came with the LR from the 55 gallon

Here is the journey thus far.
The pics are mostly in order:

Freshwater test the stock light is actually not too bad


Cycling on 09-30ish



The scape still sporting the 9W



With the new light and a nasty diatom bloom



A nice shot of the DIY ATO and my modded HOB



Top down of the ATO



I am going to put up some more current shots with livestock and growth later this evening. Let me know what you guys think.

I plan on drawing out the schematic for the ATO its very simple in design but works great!

The HOB mod was easy as well I am running a golf ball of Cheato in there along with the heater. ]]> Members Saltwater Tanks Showcase Jnam http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f71/jnams-jbj-picotope-of-softies-maybe-some-lps-and-sps-122594.html
