so i just bought an HOB fuge with skimmer from ebay and i figured hey what a perfect time to add some of the rock i had in a bucket collecting bacteria to it and take some pics.
it once was an Aqueon 26 gallon bowfront kit, but the only things left in use are the tank and the heater, the light fixutre was cut shorter to fit over the fuge as a grow light for the chaeto.
the fuge is 24" long x 4" with a water level of about 12", can't remember exactly but i did the math and its abotu 4 gallons. the skimmer as of right now is actually working and skimming out any un rinsed off resedue the sand i just added to the fuge but the pump is in a kind word CRAP. it clacked like an SOB and it wouldn't suck in air enless i added an air pump so i did that and will prob but a maxijet 1200 and do a mesh mod to it .
lighing is a 24watt x 4 hydrofarm with 2 KZ superblue (like ati blue plus) 1 kz fiji purple and a coral light II 14000 9 which i might replace for another superblue)
water circulation goes as far as 2 550 koralia evolutions and a 425 koralia nano.
live stock includes a bi color blenny, Benny. two percula clowns, Neela and Moe. an electric blue hermit crab (Mr. Crab). a peppermint shrimp (Pepper ). a skunk cleaner (Stinkus). a serpent and a brittle star, unnamed. 4 nassarius snails and something like 7 tectus and trochus snails.
rock i have no idea how much there is lol it originally had 19 lbs of live rock that i bought from my LFS, then i bought 12 lbs of lace rock in april which i cured for something like 4 months lol then i added half and the rest with the fuge. the lace rock is much more then the actual live rock i bought and probably has a total weight of maybe 25-30 lbs now.
