It's an aqua one betta tank I had an aqua one 40cm cube I had to shut down because I am putting a wood heater in so I sold the tank and fragged a few blastos and zoos and pinched a bit of live sand aswell . I bought the tank for $80 took out the stock stuff in it such as noodle type stuff etc it had a little led strip that came with it . I used that until my Cree 21w eBay special from china came . I actually think its ok for $27 delivered . Does the job for a few Lps softys and zoos . I have a little Stars and Stripes shrimp . And a little peppermint aswell . I change the floss every few days and run a small bag of chemi pure elite . I have raw aphos , and purigen I was planning on running . At this stage no real algae growth etc so I haven't bothered using it . I use to Di in my topoff water . The auto and the Di is probably the most important think I have bought over the years . Being 10 litres it needs it big time . As you can see in the photos . There's a few acans, zoos . Little scolly , few blastos , Xenia . And a few other bits and pieces . I have had a few reef tanks over the years . But I am finding this one quite enjoyable . Everything seems to be going good at the moment . I feed the corals a few times a week on reef roids and the acans and blastos a bit of mysis a few times a week . That's about it . I do a few small water changes a week . Every now and then after a big feed to the Lps . I might change about 3 to 4 litres . sometimes I go a bit nuts on the mysis . The acans love it . Anyways that's about it for now . I would like to hear your replys on my tank . So feel free

Loving this tank! That red macro is a really nice addition.

I had some 13L picos myself a while back. When I get my new tank sorted I might have to strike one up again. ... Something about the challenge I miss.

Hey mate looking really good...heres a quick tutorial on how to upload a pic.

Click Upload File(s).

1.0
Step 1.png



Selects your Image(s) (you can select multiple) then click Ok/Open.

2.0
Step 2.png



Then click Thumbnail or Full Image. I personally like Full Image as it makes it easier for the person looking at your journal unless you have 10+ pics and want to format it a little easier. For multiple images, rather than individually selecting whether you want a Thumbnail or Full Image, you can also click 'Insert every image as a... Thumbnail or Full Image' (see image 3.1)
