After last weekend (sold $150 worth of frags for the first time) my wife finally saw how lucrative this hobby can be.
I had my evil 6-line in a 5.5g tank all alone with one SPS frag. I was using a HOB refuguim and a cheapo PC light with 3 bulbs x 13w for a total of 39w.
Tonight I went out and bought a 10g tank and 7lbs of live rock rubble at the LFS. I transfered all the sand and live rock to the new 10g tank. Slapped the light on top and started it running.
I might get a small cycle out of it. Not sure. The 5g tank had about 3/4" of sand on the bottom. I added 10lbs of dry aragonite sand to the 10g and dumped the sand from the 5g tank on top. Transfered about 8lbs of live rock from the 5g. The refugium has a nice 6" DSB already established and a hunk of cheato. The mini canister is crankin' with carbon right now. I think it will be okay.
I'm going to order some more of those neat mag-racks online and start growing zoas.
Pics coming up...... :mrgreen:
