Hi all!
Well, I have been semi out of the hobby for what feels like forever... I've had one tank running, and that's a 10 gallon SW tank in my stepson's room that I built for him. I've had the 12 long broken down, considered selling it off, and eventually decided I'd make it a reef tank. I even drilled it and was ready to build a stand and sump...
Well, I started missing the FW side, and figured, hey, I could still make this work... I had drilled the back right side for a 1" drain and 1/2" return. I put a 1/2" reducer in the 1" bulkhead, and now I can run my canister filter! And no more worrying about cleaning lily pipes and clear tubing! Yay!
Anyways, I'm not sure where this tank will go as far as plants, but I feel that I have a strong hardscape.
For those who don't know, here is the equipment list...
• Mr Aqua 12 gallon long
• Current Sat + LED
• Fluval 106 canister filter
• Hydor inline heater
Planned livestock...
• Green neon and/or ember tetras
• Julii corydoras
And the hardscape...
• Lots of driftwood
• Sand, gravel, and a few stones
