      My Mr. Aqua 12g Long!

      FTS 2/23/12


      4/23/12


      I think it's about time I post my newest tank on here.

      I bought the tank from Aquatic Warehouse for $75 with tax. Rocks/Sand/Water added first week of November. And just finished my cycle this week. Not sure what else to say about tank right now. Basically what you see is what's there.

      I'm planning on my live stock to include crab based CUC, Skunk shrimp, and a Fire shrimp. But I'm having a REAL HARD TIME figuring out what fish to get. I want something with the personality of a Flame Angel. I wish i could put one in, but I'm afraid my tank is just too small for one. As for coral, I plan to only house softies for now and maybe try a few SPS in the future. No chemical filtration. Just LR, LS, Macro, and pods. Will add a skimmer if I need to, but I plan on 25% water changes weekly. Still need to add an ATO so if anyone has one for sale please shoot me a PM.

      Please feel free to add comments and feedback!

      Mr. Aqua 12g Long

      They're awesome. I love them. I'm planning on picking up a couple SPS frags and will see how they'll do.

      neat. Cool how the LEDs seem to change the color of the "background", works very nicely with your aquascape...
