racerfreak Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Hi, apparently I'm addicted to Aquariums... So PETCO had their $1 per gallon sale and I just had to see what they had. Well it turned out they had everything, even 40B left. I was just going to get a 10G but when I saw the 20G I just couldn't help myself. This is going to go in my bedroom so I'm going to just keep this tank basic like I have with my ADA 30C. This tank's main goal is quietness and softies, nothing fancy. Basically this is a budget tank Link to comment
BoCoMo Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 The temptation to do the same is almost to the point of making me break! Sounds like it is going to be a great tank! I will be watching this one. Link to comment
DVaDeR77 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I just got the same tank going to be watching your build as I do mine. Link to comment
otest82 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 What is your plan for lighting. I am in the process of setting up a 20high Link to comment
racerfreak Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 I've decided to go DIY with lighting, I ordered a 4.8" x 12" heatsink and I'm still deciding on led color setup based on what I do with my BC29. I still have no idea what I want to do for rock, I have 12lbs dry florida reef saver rock and about 20lbs fiji (including the rock in my 30C). I may just buy some more reef saver rock. Here's the tank sitting on its shelf that will hold up to 640lbs a shelf The little LED light is just for aesthetics till I finish my DIY. 1 Link to comment
acrab78 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Seems like a lot of sand in there. Love 20 highs. What are you planning on doing withthe tank? Link to comment
racerfreak Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Nope it's exactly 1.25" of sand, just looks like a lot of sand. I love 20H too I'm planning on LED's and sproably just softies since I'm only going to have 10LED's. Link to comment
racerfreak Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Here is a crappy pic of my heat sink, marked and drilled, but you can't really see. Link to comment
racerfreak Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 I can't decide if I should go with 18x LED's (6xCW, 6xRB, 2xUV, 2xDR, 2XCY) @ $150 or 10x LED's (5xCW, 5xRB) @ $75. I know the color will probably be better on the 18LED fixture but the cost is double and I'm not sure I will need that much light. Link to comment
