The Resurrection of Bad Coffee...aka Turbo 20 has begun!

[nikkibabee]

Hey All,

So I have some super exciting news...I have had the great privilege of being appointed the new care taker of Brett's (BadCoffee) 20g tank. Jim(Saltwater Critters) was kind enough to set me up and now my tank has beautiful rock work and should be cycled by the time I return from my vacation. I look forward to getting back into the hobby full force. It's cool to see my roommates so excited about the tank as well...it is a welcome addition to the apartment.

Equipment:
Brett's 20g tank, sump, stand, canopy and ATO
Vortech MP10 - so cute _ LOVE IT!
Sunlight 150w Galaxy Elec. Ballast
Phoenix 14k 150w DE MH bulb - The color is hot!
40lb of Sand - A mix Jim made - really nice
45 - 60lbs of rocks - mixed Fiji, SOlomon, Tonga and other's

Here are some set up pics...will post more when I return in mid january. I look forward to your comments...I am sure some of them will be extremely entertaining....Glad to be back, it took way too long!!!

That is a badass little tank!

You have an MP10 and a Phoenix 14k on it? Great start.

When you get back from your trip and you do a water change I have some good starter corals for you.

Looks awesome Nikki. I know you'll do that tank justice. Last time I saw that baby set up there were two little rug rats buzzing about, telling me everything I could possibly want to know about the critters inside it.

Good luck and welcome back to your passion.

Nikki - ock it - that is by far one of the best DBTC tanks ever Hands down beats my 92g bowfront

BC - I think that fried. When I go the system back from Philly, it didn't have any of that stuff with it :-(

It does still have the custom matching ATO container holder and ATO bucket storage unit.

KEEPING IT ALIVE!
