Adam`s Fluval Edge Build

    So, now my tank info is:
    6 gallon Fluval Edge
    2 MR11 cool white 10LED bulbs to replace stock halogens
    4 Cree 3 watt blue LEDs.
    Koralia Nano
    Eheim Jager 50w heater
    Stock power filter with Purigen and Chemi Pure Elite filtration
    2" RBTA
    2 b/w clowns(1" and 1.25" ish)
    7 super ultra acan frags
    Tiny(still 2") purple plate
    Small pink birdsnest frag(3 branches or so)
    2 Yasha White Ray Gobies(2" or so)
    2 Tiger pistol shrimps(1.75" or so)
    2 or 3 snails(I forget how many)

    I still want to get a sump going so I can put my heater/filtration down there, plus I'll get a little extra water volume. I've been catching pods here and there from my 125 and tossing them in the tank to get some little critters moving around!

    I've got these snails reproducing in my 125 and I have no idea what they are. I remember getting a handful of them from David before he got out and they've been thriving ever since. I thought about making a "please ID" post, but can anyone help me find out what they are? They have the physical characterisics of Nasaurius snails, but they are only ever on the glass. They stay small, lay eggs on the glass quite often. I don't ever see the babies until they are 1/2 the size of an eraser head. Anyways, here's a crappy pic of them, if you have any clues as to what they are, let me know!

    Damn dude, sorry to hear about the crash. Hope this round goes better . One of my black and white clowns are from jason and betty too. Those are some nice healthy fish. I have never heard of a koralia going bad like that but the heater is possible. They self regulate , I never trust that except on my sons 2 gallon freshwater with a .99 cent fish. I got a finnex titanium 50w heater with controller that works great. Got it connected to my ac3 and my temp has never been so good.http://www.amazon.com/HMO-50-Memorized-Controller-Aquarium/dp/B00354QO9Y
    Just a thought. Love the pics keep them coming

    I never asked you, but did you have any issues when u replaced the impeller on that nano that could have led to it being an issue? If I remember right you said that the impeller needed to be replaced when I gave it to you.

    I see you have started to realize the awesomeness of purigen and chemi-pure elite as well!

    Any word on start of the sump. Can you take pictures of your light setup. I just started working on the light on my fluval edge. Im trying to deicide to go either a ac30 filter or a sump.

    Sorry Matt for not updating this for a while. I was dumb and didn't put any cover over the LEDs and they got a little salt creep and shorted out, so right now I just have the white LEDs. I took all the coral I had out and put it in my 125. I got tired of picking up my corals after my pistol shrimp redecorate, so I'm just going to leave the tank with just the RBTA. I'm planning on making the overflow box next week sometime, I'll make a post when I get it figured out.
