Hello!

Wanted to show off my most recent project, a Fluval Spec V mixed reef. It's still a work in progress, but so far I'm pretty thrilled by how well it performs given the small footprint.

Livestock

Corals
  • Dual head pink and green pocillopora
  • Temperamental trachyphyllia
  • Rescued monti cap on the mend
  • Pink tipped frogspawn
  • Hammer coral
  • Assorted palys and zoos
Inverts & Macroalgae
  • Cerith snail x3
  • Nerite snail x2
  • Virgin nerite snail x2
  • Pincushion urchin
  • Pacific Halymenia macro algae
  • Sone elusive feather dusters on the live rock
Other
  • Blood Orange Clownfish (Premnas biaculeatus x Amphiprion ocellaris hybrid)
  • Rainbow Bulb-tipped Anemone
(to be rehomed together to my 45 when they outgrow the pico!)
  • Pukani/Manado live rock from my main tank
  • 8 lbs black aragonite live sand
Equipment
  • Cobalt Aquatics MJ1200 return pump
  • Innovative Marine LED 18 watt (x3 10K and x3 456 nm) - perfectly fits in the holding clamp for the stock light
  • Stock pump as powerhead temporarily
  • Cobalt Aquatics Neo-Therm Heater, 25W
  • Innovative Marine ATO
  • Purigen
  • ChemiPure Blue Nano

Future plans are to add a better powerhead and rework the aquascape a bit. I want to make the Euphyllia area more vertical so some frags can fill in the space underneath. Will post progress pics.
 
Im about to tear done a Spec the wife has at her office and turn it into a pico, would you happen to have a pick of how the replacement pump fits in the stock location?
