Ezsharkman Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 Unboxing my new EcoPico 5.1 gallon OMG..lets open this baby up It was nicely packaged and i have a feeling it could have taken some abuse in transit and still arrived in one piece. here we got the little pump I upgraded the lights - not to 3 strips, but to 5! 4 Mixed whites and blue strips and 1 all blue strip As you can see from the above photo the led arm only has slots for 3 strips. I ended up moving the 2 additional strips back just enough to have them not sticking over the edge of the arm. The strips attach with a very strong tape and they even come with screws and holes if you wanted to go that route Here is the arm with all 5 strips attached And here they are all on the led arm and powered up My first impression is this setup is very bright and the tank looks great. The rimless design really speaks to me and the size is perfect for my desk. Not sure what my stocking plans are yet. I have to stare at the tank for a bit and get a feeling for what i want to do. The tank is very well built and has that modern feel i was after. The plugs for the lights are gonna bother me a little bit, but i will work on that. Even had thoughts of painting the back. Not sure yet Here it is on my desk... screw the cycle, i added livestock already Dad... you didnt get another box of water to stare at did you? Did you ask mom? Shes gonna be mad at you! I like it dad.. it's pretty thank you Maggie =) Link to comment
