Finally after much searching i found this little old school jbj 6g tank. This tank will be set up at a vet hospital i work at and will be zoa/palys ONLY! i will be transferring all my z's and p's from my solana in to this one.

This tank was previously set up for about 6yrs and it needed some serious overhauling. I decided to remove the rock it came with and just add some zoa colonies later on.

i gave it a good vinegar bath and cleaned every piece i could.

it will be kept completely stock (PC lighting) but i will be replacing the noisy fans with much quieter ones.

and here it is all cleaned up and ready to go!

Did you use the water from your 34 or are you gonna do the full cycle?

No I didn't. I used scripps this time only.

Update!

Ok so I took some small rock pieces for my solana and placed it in the 6g. Here's my aqua scape (for now).
I also went ahead and added some zoas as well as a few small pieces I got from chronzze (thanks again bro)

I was planning on leaving the tank with the stock lighting but I think I'll go ahead and do some kind of led retrofit in there. I want the corals to pop but I also want the tank to match the rest of the lighting in the building. Everything inside and out is lit by LEDs.

So update on this guy... I just added a tunze osmolator nano which came from my recent 34g solana break down. So far it's doing very well.

And a fts. Taking pictures in this building is difficult. There's so much natural light coming in that it makes it had to get a decent pic.

Thanks. Yeah it still has the stock light. I'm still trying to figure out what light to go with.
