Ya it seems i don't have access to polling or links... is that why i don't have enought threads?

[jenglish]

If I remember its 20 posts before you get full access. I'm not sure if M-ville forum posts count for that or not.

Ok i though some picture would be cooler than talking.






Its facing 2 large windows


That room is my PC room, so when i want to relax after working or while working on the computer i just have to turn around.


Plus i thought that i would save some $$$$$ by putting it in a room with AC running already ,so no chiller needed.

Here are some other pics;


Some rockwork 2 weeks into curring



Tried to make as much caves nooks and crannies as possible

[Basile]

I tried my luck with fishes. Was told that clowns are most hardy so i got the clowns



They died 7 days after this pics; i replaced them with another set , not knowing better and the replacement died off as well.




After that i waited for 60 days before attempting another pair, but in the mean time i decided to decorate the place a little.

[Basile]

Found a few critters



Its a Cowrie (Cypraea spp.).



I had to check it out; it lives in the California water apparently, but at a temp in the mid 60 's, mine is at 79 to 81 oF , so it will be the las time i see it alive unfortunatly.


He was kina cool don't you think?

[Basile]

Another little guy i found


Its a Asteriniid star
Harmless.

I also did some modifications
I got rid of that elbow in the third chamber, gave me more flow



As you can see i also have a bag of Carbon to help my water a bit. And i change the pump to a Maxi-Jet 900 for even more flow.

[Basile]

Well i've dressed up the place a bit better , here we are


A few thing, the candy canes, the shaving bush tree.


Got a nice leather, zooz, which won't last, it got eaten by god knows what...And a Bubble Pearl coral


Oh ya the Briareum starburst on top and a Daisy in the middle, thats what i though, the real answer is below.


its was a "Goniopora sp" nearly impossible to keep. So beware of vendors at $50 a piece, better to look it over on the net before buying.It lasted 6 months before having to replace it.

Thats the coral that sold me as daisy,nearly impossible to keep. So beware of vendors at $50 a piece, better to look it over on the net before buying.It lasted 6 months before having to replace it. I'm saying it again because as a new hobbyist i was foolish enough to think that everybody in the trade know what they're talking about.

[Basile]

Ok i decided i was going to replace the bioballs from the second chamber with a refugium, the fuge had everything it needed, Cheato, couple of critters...



Ah yes the light



But for the light to shine through the back you have to scrape the paint off the back panel


So i did, and now here's the finish project.


Set on a reverse light timming and good to go.

Some of the corals and others
