This is an old 10 gallon tank that has been collecting dust for years. I was getting ready to set it up when I found this contest. My 2 daughters will hopefully be helping with this project... that's why there's 3 drinks.
Standard 10 gallon tank
diy 70 w 14000k mh pendant light
AquaClear 110 filter/pump/refug with 18watt light
50W heater

What, no replies yet?
It's very sleek looking with that fuge and the light stand. It should be interesting to see how you stock this thing.

Rene- Glad to see someone's watching!
RayWhisperer- Thanks for the welcome.
The tank is going to be mostly softies. I do want to have a small frogspawn or
hammer and a pink birdsnest. Also some type of monti cap.
Fish are either going to be 2 small clownfish or a gobie/shrimp combination.
I've added sand and some rock. I'll post pictures tonight.

The tank has 15 lbs of "bio-active"aragonite and 10lbs of cured dry rock.
I made a 3 sided light shield/canopy to keep light out of the room. I still have to make doors for the cabinet.

That's an old computer case I'm using instead of a power strip. I mounted the ballast for the metal halide light and the old computer power supply(for the moonlight), inside the case to cut down on clutter. There's also a relay inside that turns the moonlight and refugium light on when the the metal halide turns off.
