Well after going on Hiatus for about 8 months im back.

The bug seems to bite even harder every time:bigsmile:

I just purchased a 14g BC for a steal. This is the smallest salt water aquarium ive ever had so this will be fun.

Previously ive owned many aquariums from 20gs- 210gs so a wide spectrum on size.

My 14g BC is currently sitting empty so as I make progress I will post pics.

For stocking right now Im not sure. Thinking maybe a pair or single perc clown, maybe a chalk bass or clown goby and then of corse the hermits and snails. Maybe throw in a shrimp of some sort for fun.

Will have 10-15lbs of LR and sand. Will most likely remove the bio balls and replace with rubble. I had a lot of luck with rubble when I owned a 29g BC.

Thats all for now

Glad to see you back Ray. I'm curious to see how you set this one up. I know you have done predator tanks, reefs tanks and I think even species specific??? This should be a nice little nano.

About time you updated the Sig...!

You are right ive kept just about every type of saltwater aquarium you can keep, lol. Jack and i were discussing that (how we get bored to quickly and easily) Hopefully restoring my bus will keep my from wanting to mess with the tank all the time:angel:

I will post pics as soon as I have water in the tank. Probably Sunday.

Ray, I have a lot of different types of macro and can hook you up with sand to seed your tank when you are ready or crushed coral. Seriously, just shoot me a PM and come by and get what you need when you are ready.

Awesome thanks Rob, that will help me get this tank cycled just that much faster. I will get with you soon on that.
