Any updates on this bad boy? I think im going to do the same setup, probably minus the MP10 because I gave mine away when I sold my last tank! :dontknow:
It's still running. I have an Innovative Marine Fusion Skimmer in there and it gets gunk out. I had a lot of algae problems in the beginning, but now, the tank is pretty stable and established and I'm not having any algae. I do 2g water changes a week, although it's been almost two weeks without a water change due to being busy. Everything I put in it is doing good except some "rainbow" acans and my rose bubble anemone that shrunk up and bleached. I can't get it out of the tonga!
I highly recommend this tank. It's been fun to work on. If you have the space, I'd get a bigger fusion so you can get more fish and more aquascape capabilities.
I have a lightning maroon and a goldstripe in this tank and they BOTH hide like dummies. So I barely see them. I also have a randall's goby and a pistol that refuse to pair. All these guys suck. Haha
Anyway, go for it! It'll be a fun little build and can be managed with small weekly water changes--maybe two weeks if you wanna push it with a skimmer. I'll take a picture when the daylight goes on tomorrow.
