So you get to work on your tank during work hours?

Yup! The morning is usually feed the fish, clean the tank etc. So its pretty awesome but the downside is I don't get to enjoy this tank when I'm at home relaxing.

I feel the same way about my office tank. I take care of it in my down time but don't get to enjoy it as much since its not at home.

Some progress.

 

[MolaMola]

Yeah! I was thinking more like a tiny desk top tank. This will be great

Then set one up at home. You work too hard to deprive yourself of this.

I like the initial low profile of the aquascape. Are you starting a fresh water tank next to it as well?

Yes, that will be a planted tank. It has its own tank journal as well.

Sweet setup..

 

[Vhuang168]

Got some plumbing done. The white pipes are just mockups.

Thanks. Guy really came through. If anyone is looking for a custom sump, feel free to ask for his contact!

 

[Vhuang168]

99% plumbed. Didn't get the last piece of my PVC order so only 1 pump is running.

Tank if filled. Still cloudy from the sand but no leaks! YAY!

 

[Vhuang168]

Bags in the sump! What can those be!!?!!

 

[Vhuang168]

From Indo-pacific sea farms
Live Sand Activator Plus with Wondermud
Mini Stars
Mama Mia worms

From Rusalty
Amphipods and Mysid shrimp.

Added different pods from Algaebarn last week.

Getting diverse life introduced into the tank!

Oh wow, I didn’t realize you could buy live mysis shrimp. What do they eat?

Its actually Mysid. Which is SW. Mysis is FW. But I think they are similar.
They will scavenge for what they can. I'm dosing phyto as well as putting in a little frozen + fine powdered coral food like Reef Roids or Benepets.

how long can they live before get eaten by the fish
