Really, another tank? Of Course!
Yesterday, while the BF and I were out running erronds, we came across another SW store in the area (kinda, about 45min-1hr away) so we decided to go and check it out. The store itself was more of "Fish" store that anything else. it was split into the front third that was big, and nice, FW tanks. the back 2 thirds was the SW area, but still more of just a fish store than a reef store. they had lots of FO tanks with livestock and like 2 tubs that were maybe 1/4 filled with some corals, some doing OK, others, not soo good. (Not the best filtartion methods being used, i.e bioballs and trikle filters with LR) The one really cool thing they did have was like a 200G (guessing size) tank with a shark and an eel in it. Decided this was probably not the best place to get livestock, but n the way out found a deal that was toooo good to pass up. One of the employees was moving and had to get rid of his Biocube 14G aand stand; perferct setup for the BF's office. Complete setup.....$100...... :columbo: how could i pass that up? Needed a little bit of cleaning up, 1 new fan(only has 1), and new moonlight LED (may just get a stunner strip) but overall in great condition. Still not sure what we are going to keep in it, originally had thought about seahorrses but after some research its too small for them. so we are open to ideas. been looking at Mods and am pretty sure regardless of what we decide to keep in it we will be getting the InTank media rack for chamber 2. may upgrade the lights and pump too depending. Anyway heres the pics.
before cleaning
Pic of the lights/fan/missing fan
First order of business, get those Bio-balls OUT!
And after cleaning, doing a leak test/light test
Both lights on
