oooh really digging the new frogs crib

Thanks got the feather duster from AI on the store tours. I remember you asking about the fisheri angel I got at breakfast, I did post a pic of it in my 230g tank journal thread.

Thanks, it's coming along nicely. It will be awhile though before froggy get his upgrade though. It will be a nice home for Doug's little fish and critters from his 30g tank first.......and maybe a pipefish fish or two will sneak their way in :wink:

Maybe someday I'll get to come visit the zoo :mrgreen:

If you're ever in town your welcome to see my zoo :mrgreen:

Tested the salinity and it was at 1.030 :surprise: Oops! transferred some RO water and got it to 1.025 and took some water out to make room for the sand.

Hello sand storm! Skimmer is on line now, turned down low, I'm kinda paranoid cause I don't want it to overflow.

Once the sand has settled I'll eventually add the rock :mrgreen:

Thats a sweet little setup

Thanks Blom

Sand is in and water is clearing up :biggrin:

Now I just need to motivate myself and move the rock in :mrgreen:

I missed this thread somehow. I love the new setup! Froggy's are sooooo cute! Hey, I should put one in MY nano!

How are you liking the BM? I haven't ever looked at them or considered them before...looks a lot like a SWC or Skimz. Seems like having the pump in the skimmer body is the new fad for small skimmers. I like this new fad...makes nano sumps a lot easier! :D

Thanks Mindy. I do like the BM skimmer pulled out a lot of foamy gunk after I added the sand. Love having the pump in the skimmer body, saves a lot of room that way, especially when you don't have a lot of room to work with in the first place.

The BM skimmer was orginally supposed to be a small Nac 3.5 but Dave (concept aquatics) didn't have them in stock so I got upgraded to a Nac-7, got an excellent deal on it which I couldn't turn down. A bit over kill (rated for 130-185g) but I figure if I ever upgrade I wont need a new skimmer :lol:

:lol: Always thinking of the upgrade! That's what I was thinking when I bought an SWC 120 cone for my 20 gallon nano! :D
