Memphis118 Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 My original 30 gallon started leaking, so I had to create a new home for my Crystal red shrimps: Equipment: Tank: 23.6" x 11.8" x 14.2" Filter: Rena Xp3 with DO!Aqua Poppy glass return Heater: Jager 120 watts Substrate: 20 lbs of Mr.Aqua Plant soil Lights: 24" Satellite LED + Complete Apex monitoring system Parameters PH: 6.3 Temp: 68-69f KH: 0-1 GH: 5 TDS: 175 Plants Various Anubis 3x marimo ball Flame moss Undulata Inhabitants 4x Otos Crystal red shrimps from SS-SSS I am currently still deciding what to put in the back left corner. It's left empty on purpose, because I cannot decide what will fit there best, Feel free to shoot me some ideas! mayphly and Crazyfishlady 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Are you using your Apex just to monitor/control temperature? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis118 Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Are you using your Apex just to monitor/control temperature? Pretty much just using it for PH and temp monitoring. In the past, I had a full reef setup, but tore it down because I moved. I never had a chance to sell the unit, so I decided to just use it for my CRS tank instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Oh I couldn't see your pH probe. I just found it behind your intake, good job hiding it. I've thought about using an Apex on one of my tanks but wouldn't want all the probes in the display tank. I've got an Apex on my reef system and the 4 probes are in my sump.

Memphis118 Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Yeah, my original 30 gallon CRS tank was one of those "all in one" tanks, designed for salt water. It was very nice having the back filtration area, to put in all the heaters, probes, etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis118 Posted March 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Just a little update on the tank, I got a nice piece of driftwood, and attached a few pieces of java ferns on it to be placed in the corner left. Hopefully when a few more leaves grow in, it will cover up the left side of the tank nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
