Sadie's 6.5

sadielynn · 07-30-2008, 07:44 PM

Here is my custom 6.5 tank .
Specs 40 watt pc light 50/50 bulb turns on at 530 am and off at 530 pm . Penguin 250 filter . The filter houses the heater and probes as well as the stuff for the RK2 .Temp 78*-77* controlled through the RK2 I change 1 gallon weekly and change out the filter media weekly , I run purigen or chemipure in it depending on what I grab from the stock shelfs at the time (since I stock both ) 1 clown fish 1 dancing shrimp these are closely related to a camel shrimp how ever he has so far behaved ....
various CUC

Nice setup. What are the dimensions of the tank and what is the stocking list, coral wise?

Nice! Tank is very deceiving. How long has it been running?

It has been up about 6 -8 months , the first tank leaked and we thought we had it fixed but alas it was not so we redid the tank . Every thing was in a 2.5 (about a year ago) (except this livestock , fish , shrimp , snails ect ) I transferred it to the 7GMB and decided I wanted a "longer" more tank. The fish and live stock went in about 2 months ago .. I have moved slower than a slug on this tank

Nice tank...again. I love the RK2 on such a small tank. That's awesome. I need to get me one of those.

You wont regret it one bit it makes life easier and with out an ATO this keeps the fan usage at a minimum , therefore less evap ...and more stable temps I run them on both tanks
