Tom's BC-29 Nano

[tnwillia]

Got my new BC-29 from my LFS today. First steps were to remove all the Bio-Balls from chamber #2 and shelf in prep for Tunze 9002 & StevieT Media rack & standard cup. I removed the blue sponge in the bottom of chamber #3 and both the filter holder and shelf in chamber #1. My filtration will be my rock & sand and the Media Cup.

I removed the existing pump port and used ½” “Y and Loc-Line with wide fans on the output port.

I used Egg Crate cut to fit the bottom as a guard for the Mantis “just in case”.

I also cut the overflow between chamber #1 & #2 to widen it allowing more flow.

Put timers on my Day & Actinics Bulbs. Thinking about adding the Nanotuners 4.36 light mod to take the Compacts to 4 from 2 now.

Made and added my RO/DI water and mixed my salt. I’ll let the tank run for a few days to mix well.

Waiting on parts now as I get ready to cycle………..

Congrats Tom! Looking forward to seeing the Mantis in there...

Thanks Eddie, It will probably be next month before the tank is ready for him. I think he's going to be happy with the added space to play!

 

[redsea reefer]

You're welcome Tom! I'm sure he'll love having a bigger home all to himself..

Thanks Jason!

Juan, your new tank takes exciting out of anything I've got planned in the foreseeable future. Exciting will be watching that tank grow! But thanks!
