12g tank

tahoe69 · Jan 21, 2019

Just recently broke down my 90g tank completely, thinking I was going to take a break. Well that was last week. I didn't last long though set up this little 12g tank.

Tank- Aqua Japan 12g
Lights - AI Hydra 26
Filtration - TBD
Flow - TBD. Got an old little power head in there now until I decide on what I would like to do.

Ended up dusting off some old nano power heads I had. The cups that it originally came with were all rusted so I cut them off and super glued a couple new ones on.

That's got a ton of potential!

Just because I felt like my 90g needed a little recognition

Haven't had a little tank in a long time gotta admint for 12g this thing packs a punch on the location, being able to view from 3 angles

Found a sweet solution on where I was going to run the power from. Usually I have a tank set-up on a stand and don't have to worry about it. But this tank is on the kitchen counter. The lady was not pleased have the powerstrip on the counter. Lucky for me whoever built the cabinets didn't finish it to the wall

Being next to the sink was a little to close for comfort as far as splash up from doing the dishes was concerned. So I ran down to home Depot and grabbed a piece of acrylic for the top.

What are you planning to stock it with

tahoe69 · Jan 27, 2019

Mainly sps corals. Some kind of pygmy wrasse hopefully Tanaka's Pygmy Wrasse and maybe a clown or watchmen goby. Bumble bee snails and either a pom pom crab or Porcelain crab.

I have my watchmen since the earlier days on my Fluval Evo which was started about 2 yrs ago and have noticed how much it has grown. It's like a rock of fish.

I've had one in a previous tank, they are pretty awesome little guys. I had mine paired with a pistol shrimp which was pretty cool. Probably not going to do that this go around though.

The watchman I have once had a pistol shrimp too. It's single now though

. I hated the combination of the two. They were wrecking havoc across my sandbed. I would not do that again unless I know for a fact they have ample space for demolition.

Seriously! it's fun to watch but I was fairly sure the pistol shrimp was killing off my cuc to make barriers in his hole
