cdelicath Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 Waiting for the LED's But in the meantime: Mini MOD~ Little piece of egg crate glued into the front of the filter that keeps filter floss in place. I couldn't wait so I threw a few frags I made up Saturday in there Link to comment
cdelicath Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 Now I need to find a way to add a inconspicuous auto top off to the mix. 1/2" of water loss in this thing means 1.025 to 1.028 I lost that in one day. Link to comment
hxcaquaman Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I'm loving the way this looks good job and good luck bud Link to comment
cdelicath Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 Here's a little teaser shot I'm still waiting on the LED's and power supply. More pic's and complete write up still to come. I am also working on something special for the tank should have pictures of that tomorrow or Thursday. Link to comment
cdelicath Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 Added a surface skimmer to the pico. This also makes a very good flow pattern by letting the water roll down the front of the glass and then back up to the skimmer. Still a lot more to come Stay tuned........ Link to comment
