I lug water home from a trusted local bottling company and perform 10% weekly water changes religously. No skimmer at this time.
Here is an FTS of the tank soon after I brought it home in August 2008.
The Clarkii clown was MIA for 3 months in the 1 gallon filter compartment and was only discovered when we packed the tank into the back of my car. He survived and quickly outgrew the tank and was donated to the LFS. One chunk of GSP and a sad Xenia that did not survive
Here is a FTS from December 2008.
The LR is piled in the middle of the tank in a bit of a jumble but it creates a nice place for Pseudochromis fridmani to hide. The only other fish is a Nemo with a taste for my flesh.
