Bare Bottom JBJ 30 Rimless

[M@]

My 20 Long has been running for a solid 1.5 years so I decided to mix it up and see how everything would look in a BB 30G JBJ. I moved everything over on 1/1/13. Only loss after the move was the Hawkins. Everything else is running smooth accept for the SRBTA getting enormous!

FTS 1/1/13

FTS from 1/16 with no pumps on. I added a third Koralia to try and keep the BTA away from my SPS side of the tank.

Put together a quick video of the Barnacle Blenny eating. I slowed the video way down so you can see him grabbing food. I'm amazed out how fast this little sucker is.

Wow, that SRBTA is HUGE! How long have you had him and is that a single or has he split?

I like your mix of colors. Looks really good.

Nice scape M@! The newer JBJ's are sweet.

I've had it just over 1 year and it hasn't split. I wish it would! It came from an SRBTA that splits all the time, but of course not for me.

Thank you, I've been happy with the 9002. It pulls consistent skimmate and is easy to adjust with the airline mod.

Appreciate it, I tried to be planful of my selections with a nice mix of complementary colors. I can't wait to see how it looks with some more growth.

Thanks, scaping is one of my favorite parts of this hobby. Only probably is I constantly want to setup more tanks so I can scape more! [smilie=rofl.gif] I really like the dimension of the JBJ, nice width and height for a nano.
