Ace1204's Solana Build Diary

[ace1204]

So i bought this from another member lastnight and set it up today. Please excuse the pics since everything is still pissed off and settling, i still have to siphon the bottom to make it a true barebottom lol. Frags are def not in final placement but wanted to get them back in a tank before they got really upset lol. Also got a few pics of my Filament Flasher Wrasse i picked up from SWC few days ago, hes been shy past few days but seems to really like this new settup bc ive never seen him out so much. I will be adding some more choice rock once everything settles, also the tank doesnt look level but it actually is the water level looks higher on the left side bc of all the flow from the Tunze.

Haha actually the tank at Cap Bay first got me into this, but your put me over the edge, had to do it after that lol, Rimless tanks own, and this being a low maintenence good looking tank that i got at a pretty good price i just couldnt see a reason not to do it. lol And the wrasses have always been my fav fish so i just need to get a few more and then ill be close to your level lol.

Have you been dosing vodka to reduce nitrates again. I think this is a little overkill..........unless you're trying to breed a wrasse with a clown

 

[mvm]

Who's did you buy?
