Well, the 30g long is no more.

However, the livestock remains the same except for a few new additions.
The geos have grown well over an inch since the last update and the two older pindare have started showing some subtle signs that breeding may be in the near future.

Here's the specs :

Standard 55g tank : 48x20x13
(Thanks Armthehomeless)

Black trim with egg crate cut for tops.

Lighting :

36" Coralife 2x 96watt PC fixture : 10,000K & 420nm Actinic

Standard Black 30" T8 Single Tube Light w/ 18watt Full Spectrum Bulb

Flow & Filtration :

Fluval 405 canister : Eheim Substrat Pro, Fluval Ceramic Rings, 100ml Purigen, Filter Floss.

Substrate :

~25lbs of Pool Filter Sand

Hardscape :
