Ocho Cinco's 24 Gallon Aquapod

[Ocho Cinco]

So, I restarted my 24 gallon I once had in the past. Long story short, I sold it to a buddy about a year ago cuz I set up a 75. I would then take down the 75 and stay out of the hobby for a little while. Once I found out he was taking it down I knew I wanted back in. So I got a full set up, running with LR, Clownfish and some inverts all for $90. Anyway, the tank is a 24 gallon aquapod, 70 watt halide, upgraded pump, Maxi 1200 for flow.

Livestock:
Clownfish
Peppermint shrimp
Hermits and Crabs
Mowhawks
Acans
Sweet blue paly from reef solutions
Moonstone Favia
Pimple mushroom, possibly a yuma, idk
Nuke red mushroom

That rock work in that tank looks like there will be plenty of real estate for some cool corals! Gonna watch this one grow!

[Ocho Cinco]

Yeah and that only 4 rocks. This is ther first time ever I actually love the aquascape I did.

Nice looking start. I love the scape!

I think your pimply mushroom is a yuma.

Regarding frag attachment, I tend to like plugs for smaller frags. When I am ready to secure them to their permanent location, I snap the bottom off and have a nice flat piece that I can load up with superglue.

You should start a Reef Showcase for your tank, that way it shows up on your postbit each time you post. (To do that, go to your UserCP and it's the first thing on the list.)

I got a bunch of new coral yesterday. This acan is one of them. I came home from work and found it eating a lady bug!

Changed a lot of things with this tank. I was having a few problem getting it off the ground, mainly ALK. But that has gotten better and things are doing good. I ordered a new bulb (current) to replace the crappy ebay one that I think the coral hated. I also got a Aqua C Remora Nano HOB skimmer that is doing some work. I also got my frag tank going and put a lot of the coral in there and it seems to be doing a lot better, im guessing because that tank has a 150 phoenix bulb. So pretty much this tank is gonna be the display tank so I'm working on getting everything up to par again. I also added a blue and gold Blenny that is doing great.

Very cool!!! Glad to hear things are getting better than they already were!
