High5's Posted August 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Old sea mud and lowkey's speed sand. I'll let it sit for a week then do a big water change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High5's Posted August 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I'm holding off putting more tank's in there because I maybe getting a multi tank acrylic commercial system, the ones with the blue backing you see in fish stores with a chiller. I should know in a few days if I'm getting it finger's crossed. Soothing Shrimp and ctaylor3737 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High5's Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Well that took forever, over the next week I will be adding a 20l to the space and lighting most likely dome light with cfl 13w bulbs. The space is temporary until I can build out my spare room. ANBU, h4n and countryboy12484 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High5's Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Added some lighting 13watt cfl in a deep socket dome fixture. I need to add a few things like some shrimp tubes, plants and possibly a HOB filter. eozen81, ANBU, Shrimpo and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High5's Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Thanks! I picked up a 20long today to go in there, might pick up two 10g for a PBL project and one for cardinals. Hopefully I will get some good breeding so I have nice stock for when I build my rack in my spare bedroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricM Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 I also picked up a 20L last weekend. wanted the 15L but wasnt part of the $1G sale. going to do a split design with HMF on the empty side and ugf under the substrate side. should be an interesting test.

High5's Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 The corner style HMF on the bare side would be sweet on a set up like that. EricM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High5's Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 I setup a 20l in the space finely. Tank with divider and ugf system. Old sea mud and Lowkey's speed sand. 1 1/2 inch of lava rock Substrate of choice. Layer of ADA Aquasoil and some more Old sea mud/Lowkey's speed sand. Final layer of ADA Aquasoil. Filled up the tank with tap water. Classic ADA Aquasoil yucky mucky. Ugf running for a few hours, starting to clear up. countryboy12484, ANBU, mayphly and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
