Smokin-Reefer Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 I acctually just got that 2g cube tank i was telling you about earlier, in a post on my 5.5. I should get some pics tonight. I love the midge! Link to comment
lizbeth Posted August 12, 2003 Author Share Posted August 12, 2003 Originally posted by SLOreefer any updates? Not much. Due the high temps we are having this summer the midge hasn't changed. I haven't added any more corals since the original zoos. Though the zoos are survivng the thought of possibly cooking more corals has kept me from adding more. This little tank is high matainance, it has to be topped off 3-4 times a day due to the fan running about 16 hours a day to try to keep the temp down to 84. I have been very slack about water changes and it seems to be fine with that. So the lessons learned at this point are; small tanks work best in temp controled rooms (AC), they are not that fussy about water changes, and I would have done a design change to add a heater compartment so the heater would always be in the same level of water.

lizbeth Posted August 13, 2003 Author Share Posted August 13, 2003 I suppose I could try to find a way to fit one in. I'd then have to drill a hole in the back of my desk and find a container that woul fit in side the desk. Might work on it, might just take the tank down. Link to comment

movingshadow Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 wow, great DIY!!! I have been lurking for a while thinking about a new tank.... hmmmmm... oh on the heater, another thread mentioned miniature heaters (~6 inches) another had a tiny filter/powerhead/heater package... sorry was too lazy to go look them up, but it might be worth your time... just a thought. hth Link to comment
