OK,
Here is what I have right now.
Equipment:
-10 gal AGA tank on a really cool stand that I got from ubid.com for $39.
-CPR BakPak 2 skimmer, bio media and sponge bubble trap removed.
-Aquarium Systems VisiTherm 200W Heater (in the bio media chamber of the skimmer right now).
-1 Hamilton 175W Metal Halide Pendant with 10,000K bulb on a timer for a twelve hour photoperiod.
-Aquarium Systems FasTest ammoina, nitrite, nitrate, pH, and KH test kits.
-LaMotte calcium test kit.
Water Parameters:
pH = 8.4
Ammonia, Nitrite, and Nitrate = 0
KH = 3.5 meq/l
Calcium is unknown (I need a refill for my test kit)
Temperature = 78-80F
Specific Gravity = 1.023
Livestock:
-15 pounds of Fiji LR from LFS (added 10/24/00)
-5 Turbo snails (3 added 11/6/00, 2 more on 1/8/01))
-10 pounds of live sand bought on eBay(added 11/15/2000)
-1 metalic
green mushroom rock (added 1/6/01)
-1 finger leather (added 1/8/01)
-1 6-line wrasse (added 1/8/01)
-1
percula clownfish (added 1/8/01)
Everyting is going OK so far. The temp seems stable and the nasty algaes are being kept at bay by the voracious Turbo snails.
More to come soon!
