    Long Time, No see AC...

    Thought I'd drop in to post a few pictures of the exterior yard work I've had done over the past couple of months, including the nano goldfish patio pond. I'm using a tetra pressurized pond filter and pump I bought off of amazon and had a friend ship to Japan for me. I've been keeping 3 comets...

    Massive Earthquake!

    Thanks. Everything is business as usual out my way. Nagano is a ways from the epicenter and it is located in the mountains. However, since friday, several gas stations have gone dry (sold out) in my town and surrounding cities. Stations still serving gasoline have put a 10L limit on what we...

    Photos of my new house and tanks.

    Yup, the rest of my collection is storage. I was only designated that space for display. Still a nice chunk (entire second floor hall). I have a massive Wuxia, HK Cinema, and 70-80s Kung fu movie collection as well. I'm also embarassed to say how many comics I have in my library...

    Photos of my new house and tanks.

    Thank you, Everyone. @Inka: You mean the actual water level of the tank or the dimensions? I had the tank made to those dimensions. I could probably have bought a longer stand pipe than the one they provided, but the stand pipe cover and return wouldn't fit snug anymore. But those...

    Vortech MP10w ES

    But I only I have the one pump, didn't think NTM and the other worked with only one. I guess I wonder what I should attempt to accomplish... random flow or wave?

    Vortech MP10w ES

    I'm using one vortech MP10 on my tank in lagoon mode. However I did set a wave. My tank isn't very tall (shallow) so I was wondering what's the best setting to run? Wave or Lagoon?

    Photos of my new house and tanks.

    I posted some. They were quickie layouts so nothing innovative. My shallow nano-reef will have only softies and my anemone I've had for about two years now. Sorry for the decline in picture quality, my camera broke so now I only have my crappy mobile phone cam to take pics.
