Q's 9g shallow reef

[91Atrac]

So figured I'd start a thread about my 10g previous 2g tank.

It's doing great now and personally can't do the 2g thing again. It isn't something I could keep, at least not the shape anyways.

Here are some recent pics. And more to come of the frags I've added.

Coral list:
Scroll dark purple and green polyps
Red monti cap
White and pink mushroom
Green and white mushroom
Assorted random other mushrooms(small)
Teal candy cane
Purple/green button type polyp zoa
4 types or star polyps (light brown/purple and purple carpet, pink carpet and light green polyp tips, purple carpet and light/lime green polyp, purple carpet/long green polyps)
3-4 types of zoa's and 1 not counted is trying to be revived from near death.
An sps I had and it passed but I left it cuz it did have small life left and the polyps are now coming back and have small extension and the areas around it is slowly coming back but not sure if it will be the same colour
Red Sea pink and white tip pulsing Xenia and red/brown pulsing Xenia
Kenya tree
Lost my neon monti from my damn hermit dropping it into the pulsing heads and it killed it and had no chance to survive :/

Livestock:
Blue sapphire damsel
Randall's candy cane and Green pistol shrimp
1 scarlet hermit and another hermit
1 asteria snail ( I think )http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/10/01/sydypyhe.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/10/01/beruja5e.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/10/01/e3epa6u2.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/10/01/u5a6uja3.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/10/01/e7etyraj.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/10/01/ganaqy7u.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/10/01/u7y8ynup.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/10/01/sugehuvy.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/10/01/4urynu9e.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/10/01/dapeda9u.jpg

Well my buddy needed help with bringing his cup coral back to life so I tried fitting it in my tank. It's a snug fit for sure but it's doing better then in his tank already.

I also have a 9 gallon tank, what lighting do you have on your tank right?

Well currently I have a 9watt Cree led (sadly made by swc) with 2 10k and 1 royal blue LEDs, 2 small 2watt royal blue LEDs for more blue, a 10watt compact fluorescent from a small hex tank I had with an actinic and 10k combo bulb. Recently I added a 4watt 20" accent led strip I got from a buddy who then got it from j and l aquatics. For the fuge side which I don't think I have a pic of I have a computer desk lamp light with a warm white bulb for the macro which is chaeto, pulifera caulerpa and grape caulerpa. That side houses my blue damsel right now cuz hes such a bully!

I was thinking of setting up a 10G AGA, any advice? I already have a 5G AGA and a 2.5 AGA running for a few months now.

[91Atrac]

Sorry what's aga lol advice.... Keep up with water changes and don't over feed. All I have for advice right now. Get a power filter like an ac70 and keep chaeto in it for pods. Deep sand bed IMO is also helpfull.

This is the tank ill be moving everything to. Tank was built by a friend but I design/cut and placed the inside parts and drilled what I needed to be up to my design. It's flowing nicely so far. Won't use the mh.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/02/18/vydutu5a.jpg

[RogueAgent94]

Wow, wish my tank looked that good!

What's the sectioned off half in the new tank for?

[dsiu25]

Ah, looks great! can't wait to see the drop off tank as it matures.. really cool idea!

Not sure what that area will be for yet. Idea was to put cheato in it but... To keep it like I want and only have to go in there almost never I think that's a bad idea. Pretty low flow in there and it won't have much light either so I'm not sure what to put for "life" being macro or coral under there cuz sponge need heavy flow and low light.

Appreciate that :) seemed good to me. Keep my skimless success in mind and continue with it.
