Another return to the hobby

[tankguy]

Well at this point I feel like a band who says this is their final tour and the following year they are back at it. So here I am again but with a much smaller tank. I went with a Red Sea Peninsula G2 tank this time. No bells and whistles just a simple AIO tank. Perfect for me and has enough room to play around with

Here’s a quick pic

Finally got water in it. Going to go back to some corals I love the most. Chalices have always been a favorite of mine. Would like to also add some goni’s and maybe a few scoly’s. There are a few Sps that I may try again , Cherry Bomb and Pink Lemonade. I may change up the light alittle down the road

If you need Genesis blocks or biomedia to seed let us know, we've got it spread out in a few tanks currently. Lots of dbtc chalices still around in the club too.

did my genesis rock get given to Tin? I have 16 in my system and can swap a few out if Tin have some for me

I have some Duncan and a few dragon soul torch heads I can contribute when ready

I gave blocks to him for you to get when he visited you after on Nov 8 2025. I guess they didn't make it to you?

 

[Mike Yasin]

I was at his place a few weeks back, but no. Wonder if he dunked them? I’ll check. Either way, I’ve got a pile in my tank and sump, so easy to swap and lend out to seed others. All good.

I'll hook you up with gonis and chalice. Im terrible at name.

I really like this rock sculpture. Tony @ TLS Aquascapes made it for me . It’s 12x12 and fits perfectly. I’ve never really liked my ability to make a nice looking aqua scape. I’ve always done the old stack them up against the back wall look. This one gives a lot a freedom

What’s the plan for getting it live?

 

[tankguy]

Did a shot of Dr Tims One and Only. Worked well on a tank I did before so well see how it does

 

[tankguy]

One problem I am having is my MP10 doesn’t stick to the glass for very long. Maybe 30-45 minutes max. I have read many others having the same issue with a lot of people going to these 3D mounts. Might be my only solution

 

[Coral reefer]

Did you secure the cord?

How thick is the glass?

I like the shape and size, I don’t personally love the completely flat sides, and I worry there won’t be a lot of hiding spots for fish. Should be great for coral placement!

With this size I can only add a few fish and they will have to remain small. Worst case i can maybe add something small to hide in

How thick is the glass?

I thought it came in at 1/4 inch but website says its a little bigger but not much. Good news is the motor stayed attached all night

 

[Turkeysammich]

I always apply a thin coat of silicone. Works great

I think the limit is 3/8" so you might be on the edge. Does the dry side still have the rubberized gasket?
