My SW Fluval Edge

ericksse · 11-09-2010, 02:01 PM

Here is a picture of my 5 week old saltwater Fluval Edge at work. in about a week or two I will be replacing the fish with two young clown fish. I might add some soft corals, but not fully sure yet.

Enjoy!

Cool! How many gallons is it? What kind of lighting? keep us posted!

Looking good! I'd add more live rock if it were mine.

So this is a 6 Gal tank. Great for the office! I replaced the manufacture provided bulbs with LED bulbs and added two Ecoxotic stunner strips (1 Blue and White & the other all blue) Stunner LED Strips

These provide great additional lighting to the aquarium. I plan to add a couple soft corals so we'll see how it all works out. I'm still going to wait a couple weeks to add my fish. I'll post an updated pic at a later date.

Thanks! Given it's such a small tank, I wanted to maximize the area for the fish to be able to exercise. Also, I was thinking of putting some soft corals which might help fill in the space.

Yesterday I found a baby starfish hanging on the glass. You can see it on the right just above the live rock (little brown spot). It's so much fun to see how the tank takes shape.

Thats cool.

Super nice looking. In 6 gallons of water, I'd recommend limiting fish to one fish which remains under 3" when full grown.

I would also recommend you use these filter pads:
Poly Bio Marine: The Poly Filter
they are worth their weight in gold!

Nice! Is it a good tank? I was thinking of getting one.
