I’ve been out of the game for about 15 years, but a couple of months ago while watching some Nat Geo, I got the bug again. Man has the equipment changed since then. I decided to look for a project and keep a tight or, reasonable budget to dive back in and get my youngest involved. I decided to go the nano route to keep costs down and lower my success/failure rate. I need to get my feet back under me and retrain myself on all this stuff.
Anybody else in the hobby please post pics and info!!
I searched Craigslist and FB looking for a deal and I found this diamond in the rough not 5 minutes from the house. Offered the guy $125 and it was a deal.
16 Gallon Cube and Stand
More than enough Rock
2 Jebao Controllable Powerheads
Heater
Red Sea Refractometer
Digital Aquatics Reefkeeper Plus system
Auto Top Off
Pop Bloom Lighting
All in all a little over $1000 worth of stuff retail.
Last week I started bleach curing the rock and cleaning up the tank. Threw a new paint job on the stand for a slicker look and to help hide salt creep and deposits.
I’ll start cycling the cured rock with Dr Tim’s One and Only and Ammonium Chloride towards the end of this week so hopefully in 3-4 weeks, I’ll be able to get started stocking livestock.
When I bought it
Some of the goodies
After some rehab. I also removed the top rim to get the rimless look.
