Looks like it's time...(update and pics)

...for an upgrade.

After plans fell through on what I thought was my 45 (actually 29), the LFS I work at has a used Solana 34g with stand and lots of upgraded stuff but no light. $200 with a "friend/loyalty discount."

Luckily I can use all my old equipment from my 14g Biocube, PAR38 bulb and eshopps nano skimmer for starters.

Stocking plan is a bonded pair of Japanese Redfin Waspfish, a marine betta, and MAYBE a small group of bangaii's.

I should be picking up the tank tomorrow.

 

I like Solanas, nice upgrade. They are sharp looking tanks. Congrats.

 

Heres the tank

 

Comes with a screen, cool.

 

Congrats, that's a nice setup. I'm gonna have to look into one of those

 

Well, got the tank today and then some. I brought my skimmer, eshopps nano skimmer, as part of the deal and got a reef octopus skimmer rates for 50-100g and a 6 bulb t5 fixture for 100$ plus my trade. Tank is sitting empty where my biocube used to be:

Pics are old biocube, all the equipment from the two tanks, the new solana and the cool electric work the previous owner did​

 

Looks really nice - a definite upgrade.

 

Thank you. I sure would say so. Finally got some real lights too. lol

Anyone know what type of reef octopus skimmer that is?

 

Nice score. Congratulations!

The skimmer appears to be either a space-saver that's been modified, or perhaps a discontinued model (couldn't find that exact unit at MD or RO, but space-saver is closest match).

 

Thanks! It's an older model and the previous owner has a knack for modifying things, so either or wouldn't surprise me
