    Default New Fluval Flora Nano Reef/Red Frogfish home - Auction special



    As promised, here's some first pics of the Fluval Flora tank setup I bought from Pamela at the auction. Still working on the aquascaping but wanted to post something tonight. The rock is one single piece taken from the 210g when I tore that down last weekend. Different red & green macroalgae, and a few small easy to keep frags (tiny toadstool, zoas, & mushroom corals mainly).

    Great looking setup! I think Fluval actually calls this tank a Flora. Keep us updated on how it works out for you...

    I thought you also bought a small zen type rectangle tank...or am I mistaken...with the floating ferns...

    I see you are not using the stock LED light that comes with the Spec. What light is that you are using?

    It might be the Flora. It came with a 13w PC and I added a 1w blue LED moonlight. Going to go to the LED store this week and retrofit an LED light into the fixture probably. Mix of 6500k daylight with 450nm blue actinic LEDs. (unless they have 10000k whites).

    The tank was set up and fish moved over within an hour of getting home from the auction. That's the beauty of sw - use cured live rock from my sump & NO CYCLE!!!!

    And yes, it is a very cooooooool looking fish. He's swimming and walking all over the tank exploring his new luxury condo

    Slipstream bought the Zen tank. That was too small for my new shrimp tank (doing a 3g rimless) and with an aluminum frame, not sure about using it for sw nano so I didn't bid on it.
