New Aquapod 24g adventure!!!

[adam1121]

Well, i just set up my aquapod 24g thursday. Had to rearrange my room which made a difference in everything haha. But i finally did it with my friends help. Looks great now! Just swapped everything from my 20L.

Equipment/Lighting:I have a jbj viper 150w light with 14k lamp. I have a tunze DOC 9002 skimmer in the overflow chamber in the back. For the return i have a rio 600gph pump going to a dual locline. Inside the tank i have a koralia 2 for added flow. also a 100w heater. I also have a cpr bak-pak for a bak up.

Fish:Right now i have an occelaris clown pair, a black and white and an orange and white misbar, a yellow watchman goby, and a peppermint shrimp. Not sure if ill go with more but i'd love a nice looking wrasse. Any suggestions?

Coral stocking:I plan on making this tank a mixed tank but mostly sps and lps :rock: which i tried a back in march but i think my tank wasn't mature enough as everything rtn'd on me.:hmpf: but im ready for them this time lol. I have two clams now, 4 rics, mushrooms left from before and some palys from before, and my red pavona....this thing never dies lol. I also have a purple polyp digi now which i have always wanted. So...time to start stocking. I will post pics tonight or tomorrow.

Still Need: I Still need a chiller haha. And a titanium heater. Dont like temp swings....they scare me lol. And i wanna get a spare bulb. Anything else you guys think? Lmk thanks.


So what do you guys think? Anything i should change, add or remove? I would love your input on the setup. And then when i get pics on the setup. Thanks for looking.

Sounds good Adam. Place a mini fan over your tank and it should stay at 77-80 deg.. And with your heater it should stay at temp during the night. Just tweek the heater a lil over the night.

 

[adam1121]

Yeah thats what im going to do. I have my big oscilating fan blowing by it now and its keeping it around the right temps. But i wanna get a small clip on to move my other haha.

[adam1121]

Those two clowns and my yellow watchman are the reason why i didn't completely get rid of my tank before.

hey adam... you really should take that black clown out of your tank.... i don't thing it looks right in your tank. i'll do you the favor and take him off your hand, just to help you out. (lol) ... man i've been looking for 2 black clowns for over 2 months now, and none of the lfs that i usually go to could ever get them for me.

anyway, your tank looks like it's off to a good start. i'm trying to go all sps too. good luck and keep us posted with pics...

 

[adam1121]

Will do! Yeah this tank was the upgrade from a 20L lol. I've had taht black clown for about 9 months now....love her to death. And her pairing with the other makes the coolest looking pair ever. The orange is the first fish i ever got almost a year ago in my 10g lol

 

[Dvon0605]

Looks good. Almost as good as that powder blue tang lol

 

[adam1121]

Shut the hell up jerk. Im taking that tang haha. Ill just bag it up myself and run out the door lol. Na ill just pick up my own next time. The new tang and trigger i got today look great, work loves em. And the tang brought out the scopas tang and now they're buddys lol. oh and i just pulled that wrasse out. So im back down to three fish...think that tang will fit in it lol.

 

[Dvon0605]

That's cool that the fish worked out for you. I'm gonna get a powder blue for my *cough* 125 gallon *cough* after I set it up

 

[adam1121]

So lame. Get one of those triggers too. They are cool. I am when i get a bigger one *cough*126 gallon*cough* in a couple months. I thought i'd get a 126 cause the 1 gallon could make all the difference between and adequate reef....and a spectacular one lol. jk
