    Default Bongo Shrimp's 25g Tide Pool

    :::NOW 25g:::

    Ok, so I'm starting my tide pool tank. It will be a predator tank with anglers. I got just a simple cheap kit with a tank, filter, light, and hood. The lights are CF for now but I'm 90% sure I'll switch to T-5 since I have an old retro fit kit laying around from my biocube before I went to LEDs. Also will be adding a nano skimmer eventually and a heater hopefully by friday.

    I really set this tank up solely because of an angler I fell in love with. I didn't do too much planning so I'm not exactly sure what else will go in it. It is one of those things that I'll figure it out as I go. The theme is supposed to be tide pool like so maybe some sponges or seaweed but NO MACRO!

    10g Glass Breeder
    Aqueon Filter (for a 10g, came in the kit)
    CF T-12(?) Light (came in the kit)

    ~8.75lbs of Cured LR
    ~3lbs of Dry Sand
    Seeded with some Live Sand from a ~6 year old reef tank.


    Livestock:
    Hopefully on Friday (if params are good) a Wartskin Angler (A. pictus)
    Some Hermits
    A Few Tiger Trochus Snails

    And here's Waldo as he has been named by the guys at the shop. He eats frozen krill and squid.

    So, what do you think of it so far? It's a beginning, I think.
