jnelson's Fluval Spec Pico

Here's my Fluval Spec pico! Posted this in one of the other forums to ask about stocking. Haven't finalized the livestock yet (thinking about a pair of trimma gobies at this point and maybe 1-2 more corals) but here's what it has so far.

To sum up:

Current Equipment:
- Fluval Spec
- Stock filtration (sponge/carbon)
- Stock pump
- Rapid LED PAR 38 (3RB, 2CW)
- LR/LS

Current Livestock:
- Two Nassarius snails
- One Margarita snail
- Yellow Polyps
- Purple Gorgonian (photosynthetic)
- Pom-Pom Xenia

Corals are still a bit stressed but are opening up more day by day. Can't wait until this fills out

I think with those snails you are pretty stocked lol, j/k

That is a nice setup you have going...... I bought a fluvial edge and still haven't set it up :-/

Im still lost at how to stock it.

The Fluval Edge is a nice tank, bit hard to work with though. Softies/photosynthetic LPS would be a good bet.

What's the wattage of the light, what angle of lens and what PAR value you are getting, it seems to me the light is too close to the tank.

Did some research, it's the Rapid LED 3 Royal Blue/2 Cool White bulb. 10W total, and the light is about 8" above the tank? The corals seem to be okay so far (no bleaching).

It scared me for sec, because if they running at 3W each with a total of 15W, they going to burn the corals like an 12W version sold to member here.

If you are coming this weekend, would you mind to bring the light to run a par test?
