Wow I don't get to say that to often, but its true.
So About 2 weeks ago my wife was looking for something to do over the weekend, living in the Rockford IL area now we are in short supply of things to do, found the Midwest Fragfest. So we went. We got there a bit to late to hear any of the speakers but we had plenty of time to look around at all of the products and all of the
frags.
I have a 55gal set up but no coral in it because we may be moving back to Michigan very soon.
So instead of buying or receiving any
frags (some people were giving them away while teaching you how to
frag yourself!) I bought about 50$ in raffle tickets thinking full well I was not going to win anything. A lot of great products were up for grabs but I had my eye on 2 of them. One was a 22 gal zero edge very cool, the other was a 29 gal biocube. After hanging around and hearing them call off all the numbers for the other items we put in for but didn't win they started calling the numbers for the big 2 prizes.
I went home with a new Biocube, a heater, and $130 in gift cards for some really nice local stores. And it only cos me $60 all together.
I used the gift cards and bought some really nice looking base rock and live sand and I am now cycling the tank.
I have been reading up on a lot of the mods people are doing to their Bios like lighting mods or switching the lighting around, making the back a
fuge, getting rid of the bio balls and adding
Live Rock, changing the pump and adding a more powerful one......
My question is which mods are ultimately necessary, and which are good ideas, to keep a nano reef, I don't really want to mod to much if I don't have to since the wife decided this one goes into the bedroom and if its to loud I wont be able to sleep. Also if you could point me in the direction of a post or site with the how tos of these mods that would be awesome.
Other then that now I'm back to the waiting game. I almost forgot how exciting it is to start a new tank, all the possibilities, you just want to jump right in. Man I can't wait!!!
P.S. If any of you are out there Thank you Rockford Reefers for putting on a great event. I wish I knew about you guys sooner.
