TristanC Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Now i just need to steal my gf's camera so i can take decent pictures of the rock work (pics just dont show the depth very well) Link to comment
hey Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Now i just need to steal my gf's camera so i can take decent pictures of the rock work (pics just dont show the depth very well) I really like the linear aspect you went with on your rock work btw. It actually reminds me of many iwagumi scapes using seiryu stone, could do some really cool stuff with this if your careful with coral placement. Link to comment
TristanC Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Thanks man, It reminds me of a distant mountain range or something, i like the opposing peaks. Link to comment

TristanC Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Alright so i have a 50w jager heater hooked to my rkl and it is set for 79* but at night it is getting down to 75*. I have a spare jager 50w that im going to add to see if that helps but i thought 50w was more than enough for 12g... Link to comment
hey Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Alright so i have a 50w jager heater hooked to my rkl and it is set for 79* but at night it is getting down to 75*. I have a spare jager 50w that im going to add to see if that helps but i thought 50w was more than enough for 12g... hmm my 100watt keeps my tank at 79 with ease, which is roughly double the volume of yours. Is the power of the heater not directly proportional to water volume in terms of keeping it heated? Link to comment
TristanC Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 According to Eheim 50w should be able to heat up to 16g but it can't keep up with my tank for whatever reason. I would do a 100w but it won't fit in such a shallow tank lol Link to comment
supermarvin76 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I bought the 50w off Amazon by accident, but need the 100w. Guess I'll save that one for water changes. I love the shallow tank, really do, but room for equipment was one of the deciding factors for going with the PicO III. Can you post a full tank shot including some of the surroundings so we can see how the low profile tank looks? Hopefully that makes as much sense as it does in my head! Link to comment

TristanC Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Haha yeah ill post one up after work. It's the perfect height in my opinion, that being said its pretty damn shallow. If I have to run 2 heaters it's not that big of a deal, I have plenty of room in the "sump" what temp is your room you are keeping it in, my room temp is always 71-72 in the winter I'm in SoCal so the temp never gets too low but high 60's is about where it's at during the night this time of year.

Really cool! Link to comment
