24G Aquapod First Anniversary

[budsreef]

At the urging of bobz, I started up my 24G AP one year ago today. It has been a fun ride and even though it isn't as easy or cheap as he claimed it to be, I would do it all again. Here is how it looked then and today.

It looks great, what a transformation!

Looks good--what a difference a year makes! Doesn't look like you've re-aquascaped every other week like Victor does!

That was brilliant to put that big flat rock on top of some small rocks to elevate it...wish I had thought of that.

I haven't changed the aquascape too much from the beginning, but there have been lots of other changes to the tank. Swapped out powerhead and added a second with locline spraybars, swapped out fan and added another to the hood, added a third bulb to the hood, and then removed the hood and replaced with a 20" Orbit.

Thanks, but your 24G looks awesome as it is.

Thanks Steve! Up until two weeks ago I had the Candy Cane in there that you gave me, but my female clown kept ripping it off the rocks and throwing it back down in the sand and the male kept piling sand on top of it so I had to get it out of there. It's more than doubled in size with every head splitting at least once.

Yea, that selective memory works pretty good. Thanks for all your help and encouragement.
