Daemonfly Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Custom 3g long is comming along nicely, so I figured it's time for some pics as I just re-scaped the rock layout & added some better zoos. Camera isn't that great, so low chance of quality closeups X) Currently lit by 2 20w 50/50 screw-ins but waiting on some final parts for 2 28w 10k & 1 28w actinic, as well as a DIY LED moonlight. Hood still needs to be finished off. Custom Fuge needs a few finishing touches. Dual powerheads on either side flow from inside fuge through back of tank into custom bent nozzles. Some rock was from LFS, and got 2 lbs of Fiji from Premium Aquatics as wel las 2lbs of rubble in the fuge. (should have got a bit more of each). More pics as it comes along. Current items of "interest": Brown polyps (default starter corals ) Maroon shrooms Goniopora (small colony came on shroom rock) Zoos - Red rust skirt, purple disk with white speckles, orange/yellow mouth Zoos - Green skirt, purple disk with pink speckles, pastel yelow mouth Larger Green Polyps Zebra Hermit Astrea snail (with a shell of red cyano ) white mini brittle starfish few bristle worms few tiny snails terrebellid worms fan worms Link to comment
cjm033 Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 thats an awesome looking tank, how long is it? you could probly keep some sps with the 2 28's. are you gonna keep the 20 watters ont here with the 28's? Link to comment
Daemonfly Posted September 10, 2004 Author Share Posted September 10, 2004 20w are gonna go in a 2.5g I'm gonna set up. Already have everything needed for for a softy tank, so won't cost any more $$ Tank itself is roughly 15 5/8" long x 7" deep x 6 1/2" high (not including hood). With a connected fuge 14 1/2" w x 4 1/2" d x 6 1/2" high. Fuge will have a AGA Screw in 10w 6700k (or is it 6500k? ) for the chaeto. Moonlight test Pics: Gonna adjust brightness once it gets mounted into hood for good. Link to comment
Darold Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Awesome tank. I like the long look. I wish my 5.5 was a "long." Looks great! Link to comment
AlgaeBlenny Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Beautiful tank, I love length and I guess it looks great on really small tanks, too. Link to comment
Daemonfly Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 Wow, forgot I ever made this thread. Tank is gone, as I never felt 100% sure of the fuge I glued on the back. Tank was polysterene (turned upside-down cover for models, etc...), and fuge was cheap extruded 1/8" acrylic. This was all transfered into a 5.5g (that I never made a thread for). I should DIY a new version of this, seriously. Few more pics I never posted up. Link to comment
constantocean Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 ive been wanting to build a 10 gallon shallow long tank (about 3-4 feet long) for sometime now. But I really have trouble finding the materials in my area. Where do you get yours? Link to comment
