September 2014 R2R Tank Spotlight: TinPanVa

TinpanVA · Sep 17, 2014

Here's a couple of the rear chambers. Far right - (Chamber 1) has probes for temp and pH, in & out for the HOB-1, flows over the director into Chamber 2 (Middle) where I have the media rack, ball of weeds (chaeto) and then finally into chamber 3 (far left) where the dosing happens, the ATO and return pumps.

Again, older pics, sorry 'bout that.

Sorry, ran across these pictures of my Frog Spawn taken during a water change, I think they are the coolest looking thing. Looks like some kind of blown glass.

Thanks Andy, I hooked up with Ben, he's feeding me some sick new corals, hopefully picking them up Friday. Just what I need, a new source to feed my addiction!

It's crazy how they've grown, the picture don't do them any justice. They are incredibly bright under LEDs and have wrapped around several base rocks. I started with 3 little shrooms and I have no idea how many are there now. I recently added the 2 rainbow and 2 blue/greens just to see how they mingle but mostly because I needed a contrasting color. Wish I knew what caused them to grow so well.
